UAE storage & moving calculator

Work out how much storage space you need.

Tell the calculator what you are storing. It measures the volume and works out how many pods that comes to. We have not set our prices yet, so it will not show you a figure. When it does, the whole breakdown will be on screen before anyone asks for your contact details.

Lock this price in

Your full quote is already showing. Add your details and we will email you a copy, hold this rate for 14 days, and confirm a slot - no obligation.

🔒 No card details. No obligation. One follow-up call, not ten.

This calculator gives a genuine working estimate, not a teaser. If a survey changes the price, we tell you before anything is booked - and the rate you locked is the ceiling, not the floor.

How it works

Three steps, and the price comes before the paperwork.

01

Describe

Pick a property size, or go room by room through the item list for an accurate figure. Tell us the emirate, the date and roughly how long for.

02

Estimate

See the volume of your belongings and the pods that needs. There is no money on screen yet, because we have not set our rates.

03

Send it over

Keep the reference and send us your details when you want a price. Nothing asks for them before that.

Read the full process, including who stores your belongings

What will change the price

We have not set our rates, so there are no figures here yet. These are the things that will move the number, and each will appear as its own line rather than being folded into a single total.

VAT is charged at 5% in the UAE and will be shown on its own line. Comparing against a price per square foot?

What goes into storage

The same pods either way. What changes is what you put in them.

Household storage

Between tenancies, during a renovation, or when a flat has simply run out of room.

Furniture storage

Sofas, beds, wardrobes and dining sets. Wrapped, and stacked only where stacking is safe.

Business storage

Stock, equipment, records and office furniture during a move or a fit-out.

Storage with collection

Pods brought to your door, loaded once and taken away. You never hire a truck.

Moving as well as storing? Estimate both together in the calculator.

Across the UAE

We will quote for all seven emirates and Al Ain. What each one adds to the price depends on how far it is from the warehouse, and we have not set those figures yet.

Storage means two trips, out and back, so any distance charge applies twice. Both will be itemised.

Why book here

When our rates are set, you will get the whole price on screen while you are still on the page. The marketplaces we looked at take your details first and send three to five quotes within a day.

01

You never hire a truck

A self-storage unit does not come to you, so getting your things there and back is your problem. Pods arrive at the door, get loaded once, and go to the warehouse.

02

You pay by volume, not by room

A fixed unit charges for the floor you rent, empty corners included. Pods go up in five cubic metre steps, so the figure follows what you actually have.

03

Terms and facilities

Minimum period, billing, notice, access, climate control and security all depend on the warehouse we partner with. None of it is settled, so none of it is on this page yet. [to confirm]

Size guide

How much space do you actually need?

A pod holds 5 m³. Nobody packs a container to the brim, though, so we plan on 4.25 m³ of belongings per pod. A two-bedroom apartment runs to about 25 m³, which is 6 pods.

The guide turns property sizes and individual items into pods, and into the square feet that self-storage is sold by. It also shows the stacking height that any such comparison depends on, which is the part most quotes leave out.
