Storage Space Prices
Unless, you are storing your belongings at the backyard of your brother-in-law or a farmer, the price for self storage is around $300 per month for 40 cubic meters.
10 cubic meters will set you back by just over $100 per month.
A small 1 cubic meter of self storage costs around $40 per month.
It is important to plan how much space and time you need for the storage.
This can reduce the cost of storage space substantially.
For example, hiring two separate 1 cubic meter storage space can cost as much as one 10 cubic meter room.

Self Storage and Warehouse Storage Space
Self storage space provides convenience of visiting your belongings at will. The warehouse is not easily accessible (requires appointments at certain times) but generally carry a lower price. However, both storage options are equally secure.
Mobile Storage System
Mobile storage system is a new storage space option. Mobile storage system is a warehouse option but with the convenience of sending the van right at the doorstep of your house. Most private owners choose self storage option or mobile storage system because they have the access to their belongings at any time. However, overseas contractual workers generally use the warehouse storage option.
Storage Spaces - The Common Sense
Sometimes it is also important to decide if you really need all that stuff.
Yes, garage sales do not make people rich but at least you do not need to pay for the storage of unwanted furniture and that tricycle from your childhood.
In many situations it is cheaper to give some of the belongings to your family than actually carry them with you.
Some new electrical appliances may in fact cost less than the prolonged storage of the old ones.
For example, the price of a new washing machine plus new fridge and the chest freezer can be as high as the cost for storing them for over 3 years.
