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
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.
Can I store inherited items while deciding what to keep?
Clearing a family home after a bereavement is emotional and rarely urgent. A Packhood space lets you store inherited furniture, photo albums, china and sentimental items safely while you take time to decide. Indoor spaces (spare rooms, basements) protect delicate heirlooms. No minimum term means you store for exactly as long as you need.
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.
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.
Where should I store furniture during a renovation?
A garage or spare room within 10 minutes of your home is ideal — close enough for easy access if you need something mid-project. Most kitchen and bathroom renovations require 8-15 m² of temporary storage for 4-8 weeks. Wrap furniture in dust sheets, photograph each item, and label boxes by room. Packhood's month-to-month terms fit renovation timelines perfectly.
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).
Where can I store a motorbike securely?
Garages, lock-ups and covered parking spaces on Packhood are ideal for motorbike storage. A single bike fits in as little as 3 m². Filter by "garage" and look for listings with a deadbolt or padlock, CCTV, and weather-sealed doors. Average cost is €50-90/month — significantly less than commercial motorcycle storage compounds.
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.
Can businesses use Packhood?
Popular with e-commerce sellers (eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Amazon FBM), tradespeople storing tools, and SMEs needing overflow inventory. Business storage on Packhood is typically 40-60% cheaper than commercial warehouse space with no long-term lease commitment.
