    Have been using a self storage unit (5 sq m) for the past few years but over the last year and a half they have put the price up twice so I'm outta there. Anyone recommend me a company that won't rob me on a self storage unit?

    Where do you have in mind? Do you require weekend/out of hours access- or is it simply a lockup you have in mind. Regards, S.

    Sorry in the Dublin city area. Weekend and out of hours nice but not a necessity and a proper self storage unit. Thanks.

    Try Mini Storage in Finglas. Fairly new company. Done a bit of work on snagging the place and they provide free 24 hour access and prices seemed very reasonable.

    There are a whole lot of them along the Naas Road. I think its a matter of striking a balance between cost and accessibility - by that I mean distance as much as opening hours.

    Ditto- in the Ballymount Estate between junctions 8 and 9 on the M50- there are at least 4 different companies operating in there.

    Hi, I need to store the contents of a very small flat. Can you tell me how much these places cost in Dublin? Many thanks,

    I use http://www.ministorage.ie/mini-storage-dublin/ I got quotes from about 8 places in Dublin and them and elephant had the best price.
    You can drive in downstairs so nothing gets wet,their customer service is great and I am very happy with them.

    Prices per mth for a 2sqm or a 5sqm or a 10sqm etc?

    I rented a unit of "U Store It," just off the M50 at Finglas. Never had a problem with them, 24 hour access by prior arrangement. Secure. Don't know how their prices compare now but they were the cheapest I could find at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭wisjoc


    What do you mean by prior arrangement for the 24 hour access?

    I rented a 5 Metre unit at Mini Storage, got it for a much cheaper price than anyone else was quoting and they just give you a code which lets you come and go as you please. They even threw the first 4 weeks in for a €1 because I am looking at storing fairly long term.

    Smeedyoya, I got the all of the 1 bedroom flat in the unit. Depends what you are storing I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭Declan1


    Prior arrangement - if you need access outside normal hours you ring them up during office hours and they will authorise your unit for access for the time you need it. Makes it a bit more secure - if they're not there on reception they have to have received a call to allow the unit to open.

    There's a new one opened up on the Long Mile Road, Space4me I think it is. Could be worth looking at to see if they have anything. They do 24 hour access if that's what you're looking for.

    Does anyone know how much one of these storage units cost?! All I see on websites is 'contact us for a quote'. I'd love to see some figures.

    I need low price over flexibility. Apologies for the old thread but the person before me bumped it before I did!
