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
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.
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.
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.
Where should I store Christmas decorations and seasonal items?
Attics, spare rooms and sheds on Packhood are perfect for bulky seasonal items. Use clear plastic bins so you can see contents without opening them. A 4-6 m² shed or attic holds a full-size artificial tree, 10+ decoration boxes and outdoor lights. Book from January to November for around €45-70/month and free up valuable home space year-round.
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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
