Safe deposit box

A safe deposit box is usually a small drawer in a bank's safe or vault that you can rent for a yearly fee to store documents or other valuables. What is this called in Spanish?

Hi Crotalito, here's a few corrections for you:

We call a safe deposit box a bodeba bancaria in Spanish

here we can to keep our belongings of great importance ...
here we can keep our belongings of great importance...
-----I think bodega bancaria would be correctly translated as a bank vault. What I am asking about is a safe deposit box, which is a rented drawer in that vault.
-----Creo que la traducción correcta de bodega bancaria sería bank vault. Lo que quisiera saber es como decir safe deposit box, que es un cajón alquilado en dicha bodega..

I agree with Elaina, caja de seguridad (en el banco) is the common word in Spanish for safe deposit box.
Note that caja de seguridad can also be a synonym for caja fuerte. Context must help.

I thought bóveda was a typo for bodega. It should be a particular usage in Mexico. In Spain, for that, we would say sótano or another non-specific word.

But if you are talking about the vault of a cathedral then you translate bóveda.
