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 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 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.
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 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 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.
How do I move items into the space?
Arrange your own transport to the host's address. Most spaces have drive-up or street-level access. The listing shows access details including parking, lift availability and stairs. For large moves, a van hire or removal service works — the host can usually advise on local options.
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).
How do I protect furniture during a move into storage?
Disassemble bed frames and tables to save space. Wrap upholstered furniture in breathable dust sheets — avoid cling film, which traps moisture. Stand mattresses upright in a mattress bag. Use corner protectors on wooden furniture. Packhood listings with indoor spaces (spare rooms, basements) offer the best protection for delicate pieces.
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 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.
