Looking for the absolute cheapest storage in Ireland? We've compared the major storage companies and platforms to rank them by price for a standard medium-sized space (approximately 50–75 sq ft — enough for a bedroom's worth of furniture plus boxes). Here's how they stack up in 2026.
Storage Companies Ranked by Price (Medium Unit)
From cheapest to most expensive for a comparable medium space:
- 1. Packhood (peer-to-peer): €50–€100/month avg. Month-to-month, all-inclusive.
- 2. Local container yards: €80–€140/month. Good value but edge-of-town locations.
- 3. Regional self-storage (small operators): €90–€150/month. Varies hugely by location.
- 4. U Store It: €130–€210/month. Standard commercial pricing.
- 5. National Self Storage: €140–€230/month. Multiple locations, consistent service.
- 6. Storage World: €110–€170/month. Regional presence.
- 7. Elephant Self Storage (Dublin): €149–€220/month. Dublin premium pricing.
What Affects the Price
Several factors determine what you'll pay:
- Location: Dublin is 30–50% more expensive than other cities
- Contract length: Longer commitments sometimes get discounts
- Hidden fees: Insurance, admin, padlocks can add €20–€50/month
- Type of space: Indoor units cost more than outdoor containers
Why Peer-to-Peer Is Cheapest
Packhood is consistently the cheapest option because:
- No commercial overheads (no building to maintain, no staff to pay)
- Hosts set competitive prices because they're earning from otherwise unused space
- All-inclusive pricing — what you see is what you pay
- Competition between local hosts keeps prices fair
