Rent a Space provides personal storage solutions across 18 locations in Sydney and Canberra. No lock-in contracts. No hidden fees. A price match promise on every unit.
Who is personal storage for?
Self storage for personal use covers more situations than most people expect.
Families decluttering before a sale or rental inspection. Renters between leases needing short-term personal storage for furniture and belongings. Homeowners are renovating and clearing rooms without losing their things.
Travellers heading overseas for months at a time. Students finishing a semester and heading home. People downsizing who need time to sort through seasonal items, collections, and years of accumulated possessions.
Whatever’s driving the need, a personal storage unit gives you a clean, secure space to work from without pressure or a deadline.

Secure personal storage: what’s included
Life changes are stressful enough. Knowing your belongings are safe shouldn’t add to that.
Every Rent a Space facility has CCTV security cameras throughout, individually alarmed units, and personal PIN code access. You lock your unit, you keep the key, and only you can get in.
All personal storage space is invoiced month to month in advance. Change your unit size at any time with no penalty. Give 2 weeks’ notice when you’re ready to move out and any unused rent is refunded.
Boxes, furniture covers, mattress protectors, and packing tape are available at every location through our box shop. For cover on your belongings while in storage, ask about StoreProtect.
What size personal storage unit do you need?
Rent a Space has 25 unit sizes, from compact lockers to double garage units.
A locker (1m x 1m x 1m) suits a few boxes, documents, or seasonal items you rarely need to access. A quarter garage (1.5m x 3m) fits a one-bedroom apartment. A half garage (3m x 3m) suits a two-bedroom home. A single garage (up to 20m2) holds a three- to four-bedroom house comfortably.
Over 75% of customers overestimate the space they need. Choosing a smaller unit saves money every month.

What affects the cost of personal storage?
Pricing for affordable personal storage varies depending on 4 factors:
Unit size: A compact locker costs significantly less than a single garage unit. Most people can go one size smaller than they estimate.
Location: Outer Sydney facilities like Marsden Park, Casula, and Gregory Hills offer more competitive rates than inner-city locations.
Storage duration: All storage is month-to-month. There’s no penalty for leaving early, and no discount required for staying longer.
Promotions: New customers regularly receive up to 50% off their first period. The Free Truck & Driver Move-in* service saves on removalist costs from day one.

Personal storage vs keeping things at home
A garage or spare room feels like a free solution — until it isn’t.
Home storage fills up fast during a move or renovation. Furniture gets damaged without proper covers. Documents get damp. Seasonal items end up buried under everything else. And a garage full of boxes is a garage you can’t actually use.
Personal belongings storage at a dedicated facility is different. Your items sit in a clean, dry, individually alarmed unit you can drive to whenever you need. Trolleys, pallet jacks, and wide loading access make it easy to get things in and out. And because it’s month to month, you only pay for what you need, for exactly as long as you need it.
Moving in is simple
Reserve your unit online or by phone. Lock in your Free Truck & Driver Move-in* early — it books out fast, especially on weekends. Have your goods packed and ready to load, and bring a friend for loading and unloading.
We recommend visiting the facility before you commit. Our storage managers will confirm the right unit size and answer any questions you have.
