Space used

How much space a home usually needs.

Every load is re-measured once it is racked, so you pay for what it really takes.

Studio / 1 RK~30 sq ft (Estimated)
1 bedroom60–90 sq ft (Estimated)
2 bedrooms120–150 sq ft (Estimated)
3 bedrooms240–270 sq ft (Estimated)
Villa / commercial270+ sq ft (Estimated)

Space is only part of it: a fourth-floor walk-up in Deira and a Marina tower with a booked lift are not the same job. The storage size guide helps you sanity-check the square footage before you call.

What moves the number

Six things that change a storage quote.

Any company that gives a firm price without asking about these is guessing.

The space your goods useBilled on the floor space they occupy once racked, not a fixed unit size. The biggest single driver.
How long you storeShort bookings carry more setup cost per month than long ones.
Stairs and liftsFour flights in August is a different job to a booked service lift. The most common reason a quote moves.
Who packsPacked well, a load is denser and takes less space — so paying for packing often lowers the monthly bill.
Distance and emirateInside Dubai, collection is in the quote. Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi carry a transport charge, quoted before we dispatch.
Awkward itemsA piano, a treadmill, a marble top, a five-metre sofa. Extra crew, and floor space out of proportion to their volume.
The cheap quote

Why the cheapest quote
often costs the most.

The rate excludes transport

A very low rate per sq ft usually means a shelf, not a service. Two pickups with two men often cost more than three months of the storage.

There is a minimum term

A low monthly tied to a six-month lock-in is not cheap if your Ejari gap is nineteen days. We take bookings from two weeks, no lock-in.

The space is measured generously

If nobody re-measures after racking, you pay for the estimate rather than the reality.

No climate management

The expensive one, and invisible until you unpack: a non-climate shed through July lifts veneer, cracks leather and blooms mould.

No itemised inventory

With labelled boxes only, retrieving one item means opening a lot of them. Barcoded inventory is what keeps storage useful.

Undeclared handling

Subcontracted labour hired for the day is cheaper for the operator — and is how a wardrobe door arrives with a corner missing.

Compare properly

Ask every company these five questions.

Including us. The answers separate operators faster than any price list.

Does this include collection and delivery, or is transport extra? Is there a minimum term or a lock-in? Is the storage area climate-controlled, or just the office? Will I get an itemised inventory with photographs? Is the final bill based on estimated space or space actually used?
Pay less

Ways to genuinely reduce the bill.

Real ones, not padding.

Pack it yourself, properlyUniform boxes stack; bin bags do not. Dense packing can cut the space you need by 20–30%.
Sell before you storeIf replacing an item costs less than two years of the space it occupies, sell it.
Dismantle beds and tablesA flat-packed bed frame takes a fraction of the space of an assembled one.
Be honest about the timelineLong bookings price better than a rolling series of short ones.
Good to know

Common questions.

How much does storage cost per month in Dubai?

It depends mainly on how much space your goods use and how long you store them, then on access, packing, transport distance and awkward items. You pay only for the space your items use, and collection, packing materials, transport and the digital inventory are in the quote.

What is the cheapest storage in Dubai?

The cheapest headline rates come from unserviced units in Al Quoz, Ras Al Khor and DIP where you supply your own transport and labour. Add two van hires and two half-days of manpower and those bookings usually cost more in total — and most are not climate-controlled.

Is there a minimum storage period or deposit?

Minimum booking is two weeks and there is no lock-in contract. Storage runs month to month after that.

Am I billed on estimated space or actual space?

Actual. Space is re-measured once your goods are racked, so if the load turns out smaller than the phone estimate, the monthly figure comes down.

Does the quote include collection from my home?

Inside Dubai, yes. Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi collections carry a transport charge that is quoted upfront before dispatch, never added afterwards.
