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
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.
How should I store wine safely?
Wine needs a cool, stable environment — ideally 10-15 degrees C with minimal temperature swings. Basements on Packhood are the best option: naturally cool, dark and vibration-free. Store bottles on their sides to keep corks moist. Avoid garages and sheds where summer heat can spoil wine within weeks. Ask the host about seasonal temperature range before booking.
Is Packhood available in my area?
Packhood is live in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands across 240+ towns and cities. If your area doesn't have listings yet, you can be the first host — early hosts in new areas typically book fastest as they have no local competition.
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.
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.
What's the cancellation policy?
Renter cancels 72+ hours before start: full refund. Under 72 hours: 50% refund of first month. Host cancels at any point: full refund to renter. After move-in: 30-day notice, no refund for current month. Safety or force majeure: immediate full refund.
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).
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.
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.
Understanding storage costs
