Storage for Motor City — we collect, store and bring it back
No driving to a unit. No van hire. No lifting.
Motor City flats are larger than the Dubai average and their store rooms are not. Most collections here are the overflow from a big flat rather than a whole move.

Storage in Motor City, Specifically
Motor City wraps around the Dubai Autodrome, with Uptown Motor City's low-rise blocks, the Green Community villas next door and Foster's and Norton's Court in between. The flats are noticeably larger than equivalent-priced apartments closer to the coast, which is most of why people live here, and they are occupied by long-tenancy families rather than one-year renters.
That changes the shape of the storage. Motor City is an accumulation area, not a turnover area: what we collect tends to be years of things a family has run out of room for rather than a flat being emptied — a dining set that was replaced, cots and prams outgrown, sports equipment for a household that owns bicycles. Bookings are typically 40 to 90 square feet and they run long, often years, because there is no reason to end them. Access is genuinely easy: low-rise buildings, wide internal roads, parking outside, no service-lift booking in most blocks. The one seasonal note is that the Autodrome event calendar closes roads around the circuit on race weekends, so we check it before scheduling rather than discovering it on the day.

Questions from Motor City
Before You Book
Do you need a lift booking in Motor City?
Usually not — most Uptown Motor City blocks are low-rise with parking outside and no service-lift procedure. It is one of the easier areas in Dubai to collect from, which is reflected in the transport quote.
Is there anything that affects scheduling here?
The Autodrome calendar. Race and event weekends close roads around the circuit, so we check it before confirming a date. It is the one predictable disruption in the area and it is easy to plan around if we know first.
Do you have a storage facility in Dubai, or is my stuff stored in Dubai?
We operate a warehouse in Dubai, so what we collect in the emirate is stored in the emirate rather than driven to Dubai and back. Your belongings are stored at our Dubai facility, Building 23, Warehouse 5, DIP-1, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. What we run on top of that is the collection service: our crew comes to your address, wraps and loads, and takes everything to the facility.
How much does pickup from Dubai cost?
It is quoted on the actual job — your address in Motor City, how the access works (lift, stairs, parking) and how much there is to move. We do not price transport from a table, because a ground-floor flat with parking outside and a ninth floor with a booked service lift are not the same job. You get the transport figure and the storage figure before anything is booked, and the number you are given is the number you pay. Storage itself is 12.65 AED per square foot per month, VAT included.
How long does collection from Dubai Marina or Business Bay take?
What decides it is access, not distance. A villa or ground-floor flat with somewhere to park is quick; a high floor in a tower where the service lift has to be booked and shared with other residents takes longer, and that is the single biggest variable in Dubai. When we quote we give you a time window for the day and the crew confirms on arrival. Packing loose items into boxes yourself beforehand is the one thing that reliably shortens it.
I'm moving from Dubai to Dubai — can you hold my things between leases?
Yes, and it is the most common reason people here call us. We empty the property on the day you hand the keys back, hold everything for however long the gap runs, and deliver to the new address once you can receive it. Billing is monthly on the space used with no minimum term, so a twelve-day gap costs twelve days, not a month. If the handover slips again you simply tell us a new date. It works the same in reverse coming into Dubai.
Can I visit my items? How much notice do you need?
Yes — access is arranged on request rather than by turning up, because your things are stored in a working warehouse rather than a unit you hold a key to. Tell us when you would like to come and we book a slot and have your items ready. 24/7 facility access available for existing customers on request. If you only need something back rather than to see it, delivery to your door is usually the easier answer and is normally arranged within 24–48 hours.
What's the minimum storage period and is there a lock-in?
There is no minimum period and no lock-in. Storage is billed month to month on the floor space your items actually occupy, and you can end it whenever you like with no early-termination penalty. A fortnight is charged as a fortnight. There is equally no maximum — some customers store for years — and you can add to or take from what is stored without renegotiating anything.
Do you store during Dubai villa or flat renovations?
Yes, and it is one of the steadier reasons we get called here. We can take the whole property or work room by room as the job moves through it, collecting in stages and delivering back the same way, so you are never paying to store more than you need to. Each collection is quoted before it happens. Tell us roughly how long the work is expected to run — and expect it to overrun, which costs you nothing extra because there is no fixed end date.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Ask us for the current cover position in writing before you book, and tell us if you are storing anything high-value — art, antiques, instruments, specialist equipment — so it is addressed on your quote rather than assumed. What we can state plainly is how your things are kept: wrapped before they leave your property, stored off the floor inside a covered warehouse rather than a yard or a container, and logged on a signed inventory at collection so there is a written record of every item. Multi-angle CCTV covers every corridor, entry point, loading area and storage zone.
Do you pack, or do I need to pack myself?
We wrap and load. Furniture is wrapped before it leaves the property, and our crew carries it and handles the lift booking and loading bay — you do not hire a van, carry anything, or negotiate with building management. What is worth doing yourself is boxing up small loose items beforehand: it makes the collection faster and cheaper, because you are billed on the space your things occupy and packed boxes stack where loose belongings do not.
Can students at Dubai International Academic City store over the summer?
Yes, and it is what the end of each term looks like here. Paying to hold a room over a summer you are not in the country for costs far more than storing what is in it. We collect from the residence at the end of term, hold the boxes over the break, and deliver back when the new year starts — to a different address if you have moved. There is no minimum term, so a three-month summer is charged as three months. Book the collection date early: end of term is the busiest fortnight of the year and slots go quickly.
