Storing a piano during a move, emptying a relative's house in 48 hours, or renting a one-square-meter storage unit without commitment: these are just some of the stories behind Islatrans' over 100,000 services. Islatrans is the Andalusian company for storage units, furniture storage, and moving services that in 25 years has gone from a single location in San Fernando (Cádiz) to a network of eleven own centers between Malaga and Cadiz and over 4,500 rental storage units.
Islatrans offers spaces from 1 square meter - the size of a closet - to units of several hundred square meters for companies that need to store stock or documentation. All centers operate 365 days a year, with access by code and mobile app at any time, permanent video surveillance, and no minimum stay: the client enters and leaves when they want and pays month by month. This flexibility has made the storage unit service in Malaga the group's main growth driver since 2016.
Furniture storage is different, designed for those who need to empty an entire home: a move, a renovation, an inheritance, or a temporary stay outside Spain. Islatrans transports, inventories, and stores all the furniture and belongings of a home with the same level of security as an Islatrans storage unit, and returns them to the address indicated by the client when needed. The furniture storage service in Malaga has become a common bridge between two moves, especially when the move-in and move-out dates for a home do not coincide.
The other major pillar of the business is moving services, local, national, and international. Islatrans handles packing, transporting, and assembling each move from start to finish, and is one of the few companies in the sector capable of combining this transport with its own furniture storage centers without subcontracting to third parties: if the client needs to store their belongings for a few days or months between one home and another, the company itself resolves it with its modern and automated facilities. Added to this is a fixed quote in less than 24 hours, which in many cases is finalized via video call without the need for a prior home visit. This combination of speed, comprehensive service, and personal attention explains why moving services in Malaga are one of the searches where the company stands out today.
Behind these figures are, above all, people. Islatrans has accumulated over 6,800 reviews on the Google profiles of its Malaga and Cadiz centers, with an average rating close to 5 stars. 'Everything perfect with many facilities for renting and perfect facilities, you can't ask for more,' summarizes Jesús Moreno Lapuerta, one of the clients who left their opinion on Google. These are stories of last-minute moves, renovations that drag on, or simply the need to make space at home, resolved with the closeness of a neighborhood business and the security of a chain with eleven own centers.
The company was founded in 2001 in San Fernando (Cádiz) and spent its early years between San Fernando and Chiclana before moving to Malaga in 2006, with the opening of the Pizarra facilities. It was from 2016 onwards, with the inauguration of the Ceramistas center in Malaga city, that Islatrans began an expansion with a structured foundation that has led it to have eleven own centers in operation and over 100,000 services performed including storage unit rentals, furniture storage, and moving services.
With this consolidated base in Malaga; 3 centers in Malaga Capital, Torremolinos, and the 2 low-cost centers in Pizarra, Islatrans has been strengthening its presence in the provinces of Malaga and Cadiz, the land where it was born, for several years. Last December, it opened a new center in San Fernando - the city where the company was born in 2001 - which joins the already operational ones in Cadiz city, Chiclana, and Algeciras. Islatrans is now finalizing the imminent opening of its new center in Jerez de la Frontera, and is already working on a new location in El Puerto de Santa María, scheduled to open in 2027. With each new branch, the company repeats the same formula that has worked for it in Malaga since 2016: own centers, personal attention, and quotes in less than 24 hours, with the possibility of handling the entire process via video call.
Industry recognition has accompanied this growth. Islatrans has been awarded the AESS 2025 and 2026 Prize for Best Center and Best Customer Experience, and was a finalist in the FEDESSA European Self Storage Awards 2025 in the External Storage Site of the Year category. The company is also a member of the main industry associations - AESS, FEDESSA, AMEN, and FETRAMA - and handles inquiries via phone at 900 112 110 and its website www.islatrans.es.
“"We started in San Fernando 25 years ago, grew with a solid base in Malaga, and today we return to Cadiz with the same idea as always: that every client has a storage unit, furniture storage, or moving team near their home that they can truly trust."
