What renters use garages for
Boxes during a move
House-movers and renovators are the #1 garage booker — a 4-week stint at the local monthly rate is a typical first booking.
Off-season inventory
Small Etsy / Vinted / eBay sellers store stock outside their flat. 6–12 month bookings at premium rates.
Vehicles + bikes
Where the listing allows, classic-car owners and cyclists store their kit out of the rain. Insurance + access rules cover both sides.
Student summer storage
July–September every year, students need 8 weeks of storage between leases. Premium pricing in college cities — Dublin, Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Edinburgh.
Holiday lets and Airbnb hosts
Hosts of short-let properties store seasonal linens, ski-gear, BBQ equipment off-season — long, predictable bookings.
First €14,000 a year is tax-free under Rent-a-Room relief.
First €14,000/yr in qualifying rent-a-room income is tax-free.

FAQ — renting out your garage
How much can I earn renting out my garage?
Average annual host earnings are €2,920 in Ireland, £2,560 in the UK and €2,760 in the Netherlands for a single garage. Premium urban postcodes (Dublin 4, London Zone 1–2, Manchester city centre, Amsterdam Oost) clear meaningfully more. Numbers are net of Packhood's 5% commission.
Do I need to clear the garage out completely?
No — most garage hosts mark off a rental footprint with tape or a partition; the renter's items stay in their footprint and yours stay in yours. The listing description and photos make this explicit, and renters book that volume only.
What do I need before listing?
Good photos of the inside, outside, access route and lock; a rough sense of pricing (Packhood suggests one based on your postcode); and the ability to verify ID via Stripe Connect. Total setup takes about 12 minutes.
Are vehicles allowed?
You decide. The listing form lets you opt vehicles in or out; renters agree at booking. Most hosts allow only items, not vehicles, but some specialise in classic-car / motorbike storage at a premium.
How quickly will my garage book?
Active inner-city postcodes (Dublin 4–6, London Zones 1–3, Manchester M1–4, Amsterdam Centrum) typically book within 6–14 days. Quieter suburbs can take 3–6 weeks; pricing is the lever.
