Compare Storage Space Prices in Singapore (2024)

Welcome to our Storage Prices in Singapore (version Jan 2024). We researched storage space prices of numerous operators in Singapore, including self-storage and door-to-door storage providers. We then made a simple comparison to find the cost of storage space and ranked from the cheapest to the most expensive.

Three things to note before we get started.

First, this article is not intended to be a comprehensive research of all the storage operators in Singapore. 

Second, this research is focused on storage space for personal items or furniture, and does not include general warehousing storage, offices with storage, e-commerce fulfilment centres, nor specialised storage (AC, wine storage, bonded warehouse, etc)

If you are a business needed storage space for pallets, crates, e-commerce / retail inventory or supplies, you should read these articles instead:

Third, storage prices may change over time, and storage operators will run different discounts over time by the time you read this. 

The prices here are for reference so that hopefully you can get an initial sense of storage prices and can decide whether storage is an option worth exploring further, whilst you are in between homes.

Of course, price shouldn't be the only factor. Security, how long the storage company has operated for, the size of the business, and customer reviews are a few other things to consider.

We recently reviewed 16 storage companies, ranked them, and did a write up on the top 4 storage companies. Read it here: The Top 4 Storage Space to Rent in Singapore [2023]


Overall Approach for Comparing Storage Prices

There are many different ways one might compare prices. In this post, I compared using the following:

  • Average per sqft cost across a range of storage sizes
  • Average storage cost by home size
  • Storage cost by location in Singapore
  • Price of different storage providers in Singapore
  • Prices of storage of various sizes for Spaceship's door-to-door storage service

What Are The Storage Space Prices in Singapore?

The cost of renting a storage space in Singapore ranges from $5.2 to $6.8 per sqft feet (PSF) for storage sizes of less than 40 sqft, and $3.4 to $3.8 for sizes between 120 sqft to 200 sqft. Generally, as size increases, the cost on a PSF basis decreases.

Storage Prices in Singapore by Size

Size of Space Price per sqft 

20 to 40 sqft

$5.2 to $6.8 psf

40 to 60 sqft

$4.2 to $6 psf

60 to 100 sqft

$3.8 to $4.5 psf

120 to 200 sqft

$3.4 to $3.8 psf

>200 sqft

$3.2 psf

During your hunt for storage space, you may find operators who offer rates that are above the upper bound, as well as rates that are cheaper. There will always be variances - varying promotions run at different times, different pricing tactics for different locations, etc

 

How Much Will It Cost To Rent A Storage Unit?

"Ok, I get the PSF, but how much will I have to pay?"

To figure that out, you'll first need to estimate the size of space you'll need. There are online tools offered online where you list the items for storage, and it spits out a storage size.

However, these tools are really not all that smart, and deviation from the actual can be surprisingly large. At Spaceship, our storage specialists are trained and can help you get a pretty accurate estimate of size. 

But, before getting customised prices, let's use a simpler approach of average storage size per home size to get a quick ballpark estimate.

Average Cost of Storage by space used by typical home size

Home Size Space Needed Monthly Cost
1 Bedroom Apartment 20-40 sqft $120 to $240 
2 Bedroom Apartment 40-60 sqft $200 to $300
3 Bedroom Apartment 60-100 sqft $270 to $450
4 Bedroom Apartment 120-200 sqft $430 to $600
Landed Property >200 sqft $650 onwards

Storage seems expensive in Singapore?

Paying $400 a month for a 3-bedroom apartment of personal items and furniture may seem expensive from an absolute dollar sense.

However, on a relative basis, storage in Singapore is actually inexpensive when compared to other cities in Asia. Here's what you'll have to pay for storage space of about 100 sqft in Singapore compared to other cities in Asia.

Surprising? Yes.

Comparison of storage fees in Singapore and other major cities

City Avg Monthly Fee (PSF)
Singapore $4.00
Bangkok $3.80
Hong Kong $8.30
Taiwan $5.50
Seoul $7.20

 

Data gathered is based on the following assumptions:

  • storage facility operators with at least 3 locations,
  • storage unit size between 80-100 sqft, 3 months commitment period, and
  • prices are after discounts.

 

Where to find cheap storage space in Singapore

You'll have to pay more for storage the closer you are to the centre of Singapore because the cost of land is generally more expensive.

However, there are also other factors in play. 

Storage operators typically run location-specific campaigns. In areas where are a cluster of storage providers, prices are typically cheaper as well, due to competitive pressure. 

In comparing prices across various locations, I used a simple approach:
  • Randomly selected a base location to be used for comparison against
  • Applied a common denominator using a base reference location on a 100-point index
  • Used discounted prices of any ongoing promotions
  • Eliminate the variability of size by comparing it against prices of 80-100 sqft storage unit on a PSF basis

Door-to-door storage operators are different from traditional Self Storage providers.

As the name suggests, in addition to storage space, move-in/out services are also provided. They pick up, store, and deliver your items.

Now, technically these door-to-door operators will have a storage facility located somewhere in Singapore, but they are location/area agnostic. Storage prices are the same regardless of which part of Singapore your home is in.
