What fits in a garage? A standard single garage (15-18 m²) holds the contents of a 1-2 bedroom flat: sofa, bed frame, dining table, 20-30 boxes, plus bikes and garden equipment. Drive-up access makes loading easy. Most garages are weather-sealed with a lockable door. Tip: stack boxes against the back wall and leave a walkway down the centre for access.

Frequently asked questions
Is my stuff insured while in storage?
Every Packhood booking includes the Host Guarantee covering up to €300 (£300 UK) per booking for renter-caused damage to the host's space. For your own items, standard home insurance policies often extend to belongings stored elsewhere — check your policy or arrange specialist storage insurance from around €5/month.
Is Packhood available in my area?
Packhood is live in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands across 240+ towns and cities. If your area doesn't have listings yet, you can be the first host — early hosts in new areas typically book fastest as they have no local competition.
What hidden fees do self-storage chains charge?
Commercial chains commonly add: admin or setup fees (£20-50), compulsory insurance (£10-25/month), branded padlock purchase (£10-15), exit fees, price rises after introductory periods, and minimum contract terms (4-12 weeks). On Packhood, the listing price is the total price — no admin fees, no forced insurance, no padlock upsells, no lock-in contracts.
What happens if the host cancels?
Full refund to your original payment method. Packhood's trust team helps you find a comparable space in your area. Hosts with repeated cancellations are delisted to protect renter experience.
How do I become a host on Packhood?
List your space in under 12 minutes: upload 3+ photos, set your monthly price (Smart Pricing suggests a market rate from 1,800+ comparables), and verify your identity through Stripe Connect. No listing fees. You keep 95% of every booking. First bookings typically arrive within 6-14 days in active cities.
How can small businesses manage inventory with Packhood?
Use Packhood as flexible overflow when your premises run out of room. Warehouse bays and large garages (15-30 m²) hold palletised stock, seasonal inventory or promotional materials. Month-to-month contracts mean you scale up before peak season and scale down after — no 12-month lease commitment. Filter by "warehouse" for commercial-grade spaces.
Is there storage for sports equipment like skis or surfboards?
Spare rooms, garages and attics handle bulky sports gear well. Skis and snowboards store vertically in a corner; surfboards need wall-mounted racks or overhead space. Wax skis before storing and rinse saltwater from boards. A small Packhood space (3-5 m²) fits multiple boards or ski sets alongside other seasonal kit for €40-65/month.
How does Packhood verify hosts?
Three-step verification: email confirmation, phone verification, and Stripe Connect identity checks (government ID + bank account). Hosts with low ratings or policy violations are delisted. All profiles show verification status, response time and review score.
What should I pack and store first when moving?
Start with off-season clothing, books, memorabilia and decorative items 2-3 weeks before moving day. Next, pack kitchenware you rarely use, spare bedding and hobby equipment. Leave daily essentials — toiletries, work clothes, kettle, chargers — until last. Label every box on two sides so you can find items in your Packhood space without unstacking everything.
Can I visit the space before booking?
Yes — message the host through Packhood to ask questions, request more photos or arrange a viewing. Most hosts are happy to show the space. Every listing also has photos, dimensions, map location and host reviews.
