Frequently asked questions
How do Packhood prices compare to self-storage?
Renters on Packhood typically save 35-60% compared to commercial self-storage chains. A standard garage-size space averages €85/month on Packhood versus €180-250/month at chains like Big Yellow, Safestore or Shurgard. No admin fees, no padlock upsells, no mandatory insurance purchases.
What should I do before putting my car into storage?
Inflate tyres to the upper recommended PSI to prevent flat spots. Fill the fuel tank to reduce condensation. Disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger if the host allows power access. Clean the interior to prevent mould. Disclose any fuel in the vehicle on your Packhood booking as required by the platform's terms.
What is the best way to store electronics long-term?
Remove batteries to prevent corrosion. Store electronics in their original boxes if possible, or wrap in anti-static bubble wrap. Choose an indoor Packhood space — spare rooms and basements maintain stable humidity and temperature. Avoid uninsulated garages and sheds where condensation can form. Silica gel packets inside boxes provide extra moisture protection.

Can I store garden furniture and BBQs over winter?
Yes — garages, sheds and covered parking spaces keep garden furniture protected from frost, rain and UV damage. Clean and dry all items before storing.
