Centro de Islatrans: trasteros, guardamuebles y mudanzas en Málaga y Cádiz
With over 25 years of experience, 100,000 services, and 6,800 5-star Google reviews, Islatrans is a benchmark for storage unit rental, furniture storage, and moving services in Andalusia. Founded in San Fernando (Cádiz) in 2001 and consolidated in Málaga since 2006, it closes the circle by reinforcing Cádiz and expanding Málaga: a new center in San Fernando and in Málaga Capital, being the third center in the capital, the first center in Jerez, and preparing a center in El Puerto de Santa María for 2027.
Islatrans was founded in 2001 in San Fernando (Cádiz), and its early years of activity took place in San Fernando and Chiclana before expanding to the province of Málaga in 2006, with the opening of the facilities in Pizarra. It was from 2016 onwards, with the inauguration of the Ceramistas center in Málaga capital, that the company began an expansion with a structured base: that momentum has led it, almost ten years later, to have eleven own operational centers between Málaga and Cádiz and over 100,000 services completed.
This growth is sustained, above all, by the trust of its clients. Islatrans has already accumulated over 6,800 reviews published on the Google profiles of its branches in Málaga and Cádiz, with ratings that in most of its centers are around 5 stars. Behind these figures are thousands of stories of people who, at a time of change —a move, a renovation, a new phase—, have found in Islatrans a close and human service: 'Everything perfect with many facilities for renting and perfect facilities, you can't ask for more,' summarizes one of its clients, Jesús Moreno Lapuerta, in one of the opinions published on Google.
This support is particularly noticeable in the storage unit service in Málaga, one of the company's historical pillars. Islatrans centers offer spaces from 1 square meter up to large warehouses for companies, cabinets for documents, and access via code and mobile app 365 days a year, with 24-hour video surveillance. This combination of security, flexibility, and direct customer service —without long-term commitments or hidden clauses— is, according to the company, what has made Málaga the main growth engine of the group since 2016.
Alongside storage units, Islatrans has developed its own furniture storage service in Málaga designed for those facing a move, a renovation, or needing to free up space at home for a season. Unlike a standard storage unit, furniture storage adapts to the volume of an entire home, with the same level of security and the same attentive service that has made the company a benchmark for hundreds of families in Málaga.
Islatrans' other major business line is moving services in Málaga, both local, national, and international. The company manages the complete relocation —packing, transport, and assembly— and combines it with its own furniture storage centers when the client needs to store their belongings between the origin and destination. This ability to provide a comprehensive service, without relying on third parties for any part of the process, is one of the keys explaining why Islatrans currently leads searches for moving services in the capital of Málaga.
With this consolidated base in Málaga, Islatrans has been strengthening its presence in the province of Cádiz, the land where it was born, for several years. Last December, it opened a new center in San Fernando —the city that saw the company born in 2001—, which joins the already operational ones in Cádiz capital, Chiclana, and Algeciras. Islatrans is now finalizing the imminent inauguration of its new center in Jerez de la Frontera, and is already working on a new facility 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 Málaga since 2016: own centers, close service, and quotes within 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 Award 2025 and 2026 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.
