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
What security features do hosts provide?
Varies by listing. Common features include: padlock/deadbolt, CCTV, alarm system, gated access, weather-sealed doors. Every listing page shows available security features. Renters can filter by security level on the search page.
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 access my items whenever I want?
Access depends on the host's listed access window. Some hosts offer 24/7 access with a key or code. Others set specific hours (e.g. 8am-8pm). The listing page always shows the access schedule. Filter by "24/7 access" on the search page if you need round-the-clock availability.
How is Packhood different from Stashbee or Storemates?
Packhood operates specifically in Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands with local Stripe payouts, ID verification, and the €300/£300 Host Guarantee. Month-to-month rolling, no minimum term. Hosts keep 95% (5% commission vs 15-20% on some platforms).
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.
When should I book storage for a house move?
Book at least 2-3 weeks before your moving date to secure the best-located space. Peak moving months (May-June, September-October) sell out fastest. On Packhood, most spaces confirm within 24 hours. Start by storing seasonal items and rarely-used boxes first, then furniture the week of the move.
Is Packhood suitable for storing trade tools and equipment?
Tradespeople are among Packhood's most active renters. Garages and lock-ups with drive-up access are ideal for power tools, ladders, scaffolding sections and materials. Choose a listing with a padlock or deadbolt and check the host's access hours match your early starts. Many hosts near industrial areas offer 24/7 access.
Do I pay tax on Packhood hosting income?
Ireland: first €14,000/year of Rent-a-Room income is tax-free. UK: first £1,000/year falls under the Property Allowance (£7,500 if Rent-a-Room applies). Netherlands: rental income taxed under Box 3 wealth tax. Packhood provides a full payout history. Consult a local accountant for your situation.
Can I store temperature-sensitive items?
Check the listing's climate information. Indoor spaces (spare rooms, basements) maintain stable temperatures. Garages and sheds may have seasonal variation. For wine, electronics, artwork or documents, filter for "climate controlled" or ask the host about temperature range.
