Storage size guide

How much fits in a storage module?

One module holds about 11 cubic metres — roughly half a single garage. For most people that is a studio or a tidy one-bedroom. A family home usually takes a few.

But bedrooms are a rough guide at best. What really decides it is what you own and how it packs — a studio with a big sofa and a full garage can take more room than a neat two-bedroom flat.

What actually changes how much space you need

  • Large upholstery — a three-seater stood on one arm still eats a fifth of the floor
  • Whitegoods: a fridge, washer, dryer or chest freezer all have to stand on the floor
  • How many boxes you have, and whether they are packed full
  • Garage and outdoor gear — bikes, shelving, a BBQ, tools
  • Whether beds and mattresses can be stood against a wall
  • Whether you are storing the whole house or clearing one or two rooms

Stop guessing — see it packed

Add your furniture and boxes, or start from your home size, and our calculator loads them into modules in 3D the way our crew would. You get a number in about a minute, and you can see exactly what went where.

The gap in the middle

When the dates don’t line up

Settlement moves. The new lease starts a fortnight late. You have to be out on Friday and in on the 20th. Mobile storage exists for those weeks — you are not hiring a truck twice, and you are not filling a self-storage unit yourself.

Settlement moved again

You have to be out before the new place is ready. We load on moving day, hold everything in Brookvale, and deliver it back the day you get the keys.

The leases overlap the wrong way

The old one ends before the new one starts. Your things go into the module once and come out once — nothing gets handled more than it needs to be.

You are staying somewhere small

Parents’ place, a short lease, a rental half the size. Store the house and take only what you actually need with you.

You don’t know how long yet

A build that might run over, a sale that might not. Add months as you go instead of committing to a year you may not need.

Benefits of mobile storage

Mobile storage keeps things simpler when you need extra space between homes, while you wait on settlement, or for business overflow — without the usual back-and-forth of traditional self-storage.

📦

No double handling

One of the biggest advantages of mobile storage is that your items don’t need to be moved in and out again and again. It’s a cleaner, simpler setup with less unnecessary handling along the way.

🚪

Easier than self-storage

Traditional self-storage often means more trips, more coordination, and more effort on your side. If you want extra help around the move, we can also assist with packing and unpacking .

🏠🏢

Flexible for home or business

Whether you’re storing household items during a move or freeing up space for stock, furniture, or archives, mobile storage is a practical option for both home and business storage .

Want a bit more support around your move? You can explore our packing and unpacking service or get a feel for cover options with our insurance calculator .

Mobile Storage For Your Next Move

What is mobile storage in Sydney?

Mobile storage is a simple way to store your belongings without the usual hassle of a traditional storage facility. We bring the storage module to you, collect it once it’s ready, store it securely, and return it when you need it back. It’s a practical option if you’re moving, renovating, decluttering, or just need extra space for a while.

How much does mobile storage cost in Sydney?

Storage is $180 + GST per module per month. Right now, if you prepay three months you pay for two: $360 + GST per module, which works out to $120 + GST a month across the term.

Collection and return are quoted separately, because they depend on your address, the access at both ends and how much there is to move. Packing materials and insurance are also separate.

Most households need one to three modules. The storage calculator will tell you how many in about a minute, so you can work out the monthly cost before you call us.

How long can I keep items in storage?

You can keep your items in storage for as long as you need. Some customers need storage for a short gap between moves, while others use it for a much longer period. We can usually work around your timeline, so it’s best to let us know what you’re planning when you request a quote.

Can storage be combined with removals?

Yes — we can absolutely combine storage with your move. In many cases, that’s the easiest option. We can collect your items as part of your removals job, load them into storage, and keep them safely stored until you’re ready for delivery. It’s a simple setup if you’re between homes, waiting on settlement, renovating, or just not ready to move everything in at once.

How much can one storage module hold?

About 11 cubic metres — roughly half a single garage. In practice that depends on the mix of furniture, boxes and bulky items you have. The quickest way to find out is the storage calculator: add your furniture and it packs everything into modules in 3D, so you can see what fits rather than guess.

How many storage modules will I need?

It depends on what you’re storing rather than bedroom count alone. Furniture size, how many boxes you have, bulky appliances like a fridge or washer, and how tightly everything packs all change the answer. A studio or a tidy one-bedroom usually fits in one module; a family home normally takes a few. Rather than guess, run your actual list through the storage calculator and you’ll see it packed module by module.

Can I use Smoothmoves for short-term storage in Sydney?

Absolutely. If you need short-term storage in Sydney for a few weeks or a couple of months, mobile storage is a flexible option. It’s perfect for renovations, decluttering, or temporary living arrangements. When you’re ready to relocate, we can organise moving and removals as well.

Can you store my furniture between settlement dates?

Yes — it’s one of the most common reasons people use mobile storage. If you have to move out before the new place is ready, we load your module on moving day, keep it at our Brookvale warehouse for as long as you need, and deliver it back once you have the keys. A delayed settlement doesn’t leave you scrambling for a truck and a unit at a week’s notice.

Where is my storage kept, and is it secure?

Your storage module is kept in our clean, secure depot in Brookvale, and your items remain inside your module while it’s stored — helping reduce unnecessary handling. We provide mobile storage across Sydney, and regularly service areas like the Northern Beaches, North Shore, Mosman and the Eastern Suburbs (among many others). If you’d like to confirm availability for your suburb, just send us your postcode.

Do I need to be there when you collect or deliver the module?

For the load and the return delivery, yes — someone needs to be on site so we know what goes in, what comes out and where it goes. While the module is at our warehouse you don’t need to be involved at all. If access is tricky at either end, tell us in advance and we’ll plan the timing and equipment around it.

Can you help with packing materials for moving?

Yes. If you need packing materials for moving, we can help you organise the essentials (such as moving boxes, packing paper, and tape) and recommend the right quantities. If you’d rather not do it yourself, we also offer professional packing and unpacking services for a smoother move.

How is mobile storage different from self-storage?

With traditional self-storage you usually drive to a facility, load and unload yourself, and often handle items multiple times. With Smoothmoves mobile storage, the module comes to you and our crew loads it. If you’re relocating, we can also handle the move as your Sydney removalists, so everything is coordinated end-to-end. There’s a fuller comparison on our mobile storage vs self-storage page, including when self-storage is the better choice.
