About U Store It
U Store It operates 9 self-storage centres across Ireland, making it one of the country's largest storage chains. With locations in Dublin (Ballymount, Swords, Fonthill), Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Kilkenny, and Drogheda, they offer good geographic coverage.
They provide a range of unit sizes from small lockers to large rooms, with 24/7 access at most sites and on-site CCTV security.
U Store It Pricing
- Small locker (25 sq ft): €65–€95/month
- Medium unit (50 sq ft): €110–€170/month
- Large unit (100 sq ft): €180–€300/month
- Extra large (150+ sq ft): €250–€400/month
Dublin locations are the most expensive, while regional centres like Kilkenny and Waterford offer lower rates. Insurance is mandatory at most locations, adding €10–€25/month.
What U Store It Does Well
Wide national coverage means you can likely find a U Store It near you. Their facilities are modern, clean, and well-secured. The 24/7 access is genuinely useful if you need to get to your stuff at odd hours. Online booking is straightforward.
Where They Fall Short
Like all commercial operators, their units are on industrial estates — not in residential neighbourhoods. The mandatory insurance adds cost. And pricing, especially in Dublin, has crept up significantly since 2024 (see our 2026 pricing data).
The Peer-to-Peer Alternative
For renters who want something closer to home and cheaper, Packhood connects you with verified local hosts offering garages, spare rooms, and sheds at 30–50% below commercial rates. No insurance fees, no industrial estate drives, and month-to-month flexibility.
