Storage Prices in Cape Town

No unit sizes to guess at and no hidden extras. Cape Town storage priced by volume at R206 per m³ per month — from R52 — with collection and return fees quoted upfront.

How our pricing works

You pay for volume, not floor space. Every item you list is converted into cubic metres, added up, and charged at R206 per m³ per month. A few boxes and a bicycle can come in from R52 a month; a full three-bedroom home costs more, but you are still only paying for the space your possessions actually occupy. Compare that to renting a self-storage unit, where you choose a size, fill 60% of it, and pay for the rest anyway.

What's included in the monthly price

The monthly storage figure on your quote is the whole monthly figure — there is nothing bolted on afterwards.

  • Secure warehouse storage, monitored and access-controlled
  • Item labelling and a full inventory of your goods
  • OUTsurance cover included — no extra policy needed
  • Careful handling by our trained team
  • No deposit and no admin or contract fees
  • Month-to-month flexibility, one-month minimum

Pickup and return fees

Collection and delivery are the only costs outside the monthly storage fee, and they are quoted before you book. Travel is calculated at R13 per kilometre from our warehouse at 19 Fisher Avenue, Epping, and handling reflects the volume and access at your address — a ground-floor flat is quicker than a third-floor walk-up, and the quote says so. You'll typically pay a collection fee at the start and a return fee at the end; nothing is charged for storage days you don't use.

Using the quote calculator

The calculator lists common household and office items with their volumes already worked out — sofas, beds, fridges, washing machines, dining tables, boxes, appliances and more. Tick what you're storing, add your address, and you'll see the monthly storage total and the collection fee immediately. You can email the quote to yourself as a PDF and take your time deciding. No sales call required, and nothing is booked until you say so.

Why the price stays honest

Storage bills go wrong in predictable ways: deposits you have to chase, insurance sold separately, rate increases buried in a contract, and charges for a unit that was always too big. We removed those. Your rate is tied to the volume you store, insurance is already in it, there's no deposit to recover, and if you take items out your price comes down.
