Retirees in Ireland can earn €1,200–€3,700/yr listing a garage, spare room, shed or driveway on Packhood — no prior experience needed. Storage income is taxable in Ireland (Case IV/V); Rent-a-Room relief does not cover storage. Payouts are monthly; listings take minutes to create.

What to compare

In Ireland, compare monthly price, distance, access hours, space type, photos, security, cancellation terms and whether the listing fits your actual storage need.

Why Packhood is different

Packhood focuses on unused local space: garages, spare rooms, sheds, driveways, parking spots and commercial storage areas. That makes the search more local and flexible than a traditional facility-only model. Packhood does not own warehouses — it lists space from verified local hosts, which is why peer-to-peer prices are usually lower than commercial self-storage.

How we estimate earnings

About these figures: Packhood is a new marketplace, so the amounts quoted are benchmark estimates derived from local self-storage rates (host keeps 95% after the 5% Packhood fee) — not observed marketplace averages. Actual earnings depend on city, space, price and how often it is booked.
