About National Self Storage
National Self Storage is one of Dublin's established commercial storage operators, with facilities in Blanchardstown and other Dublin locations. They offer indoor, climate-monitored storage units ranging from small lockers to large rooms suitable for full house contents.
Pricing Overview
- Small locker (9–25 sq ft): €65–€130/month
- Medium unit (35–75 sq ft): €160–€280/month
- Large unit (100–200 sq ft): €300–€500/month
As a Dublin-based operator, their pricing reflects the capital's premium. They offer promotional rates for new customers, but be aware these often increase after the introductory period — see our hidden costs analysis for details.
What They Do Well
Indoor, climate-monitored units are genuinely good for sensitive items like electronics, documents, or antiques. 24/7 access with individual alarm codes gives flexibility. The facilities are clean, modern, and well-maintained.
Drawbacks
The biggest issue is price — Dublin commercial storage has risen 8–12% since 2024. Add mandatory insurance (€10–€30/month) and you're looking at €200+/month for a medium unit. The locations, while secure, require driving to industrial estates.
The Cheaper Alternative
For renters who don't need climate control, Packhood peer-to-peer storage offers verified local spaces at €75/month on average — that's 50% less. Read our full comparison guide to weigh the trade-offs.
