Looking to rent a storage unit but not sure which size to choose? From 1 m² to over 30 m², the options are plentiful. This storage unit size guide helps you determine the ideal space for your needs—whether it's for a move, temporary storage, or professional use.
Available unit sizes
- 1 to 3 m² units: perfect for boxes, bikes, small furniture, archives.
- 4 to 7 m² units: ideal for storing the contents of a studio or small apartment.
- 8 to 12 m² units: suitable for a full 1–2 bedroom apartment.
- 13 to 20 m² units: capacity for a large apartment or a small house.
- 20 to 30 m² and larger: recommended for a family house or professional use (tradesperson, e-commerce seller).
How to choose the right size?
- Make an inventory of the items to store.
- Allow a margin of 10–15% to move around inside the unit.
- Think vertical: shelving, stacking boxes.
- Talk to a MondialBox® advisor for a free estimate or use our volume simulator.
Practical example
