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.
Storage demand and seasonal trends
Storage demand varies by season — student moves peak May-June, house moves peak spring and autumn, business stock rotation peaks before Q4. Early booking secures the best-located spaces.
Frequently asked questions
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.
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 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.
What is the cheapest way for students to store belongings between terms?
Packhood peer-to-peer storage is typically 40-60% cheaper than university storage schemes or commercial pods. A spare room or attic near campus costs €50-90/month — enough for 10-15 boxes, a desk chair and a suitcase. Split a larger garage with a housemate to halve the cost further. No contracts, no minimum term.
Does Packhood offer smart access or keyless entry options?
Some Packhood hosts provide smart locks, keypad entry or app-controlled access that gives renters a unique code. This means 24/7 access without key handovers or scheduling conflicts. Look for "smart access" or "keyless entry" in the listing features. Smart access also creates an access log, adding an extra layer of security and accountability.
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 a minimum booking period?
No. All Packhood bookings are month-to-month by default. Renters can cancel with 14 days' notice. Some hosts offer discounts for longer commitments, but there is never a lock-in contract or minimum term.
How fast do hosts get paid?
Hosts receive payment via Stripe Connect within 24 hours of the renter's move-in date. Monthly payments follow the same cycle. Payouts land in your connected bank account in your market's currency (€ for Ireland/Netherlands, £ for UK).
Is there storage available near universities?
Packhood has listings within 2 km of most major universities across Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands. Search by your university's postcode and sort by distance. Student-heavy areas like Dublin 2/4, Manchester M13, Leeds LS6, Amsterdam Zuidoost and Cork's Victorian Quarter typically have the highest density of available spaces.
What is the Packhood Host Guarantee?
Automatic protection included with every booking, covering up to €300 (£300 UK) per booking for renter-caused damage to the host's property. Requires verified host status, accepted and paid booking, pre-move-in photos, and timely claim filing.
Understanding storage costs
