Most Hong Kong households only need 14 to 20 sq ft before Mid-Autumn Festival to hold seasonal duvets, spare cookware and 8–12 boxes. If small furniture is going in as well, look at 33 to 44 sq ft. Leases can start from one month, and customers can access units 24 hours a day. Choose the branch on your way home: Western District for the Island West, Aberdeen or Ap Lei Chau for the Southern District, Tuen Mun for the North-West New Territories, Sha Tin (Fo Tan) for the North-East, San Po Kong for East Kowloon, and North Point (Tin Hau) for the Island East.
The living room needs space for a reunion table. Cupboards empty out seasonal bedding and spare kitchenware at the same time. In a typical Hong Kong flat, the real question is not whether to rent storage, but how to avoid a unit that is too small to load or too large to justify.
Count the boxes first, then pick the size, then pick the district.
| What you need to store | Suggested size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 6–8 boxes, seasonal clothes, two suitcases | About 10–14 sq ft | Cupboard clear-out only |
| 10–16 boxes, duvet bags, spare pots, small household items | About 14–20 sq ft | Short Mid-Autumn tidy-up |
| Plus dining chairs, a bedside table, a small bookshelf | About 33 sq ft | Moving or renovation overflow |
| Plus a wardrobe, a small sofa, a bicycle | About 44 sq ft or larger | Bulky items stored together |
Treat the table as a starting point. Corridor width, door height and whether boxes can be stacked still change what fits. A site visit is worth it if this is your first unit.
The Store House commonly offers about 10, 20, 33, 44 and 86 sq ft. Availability depends on the branch.
How long do I need to rent before Mid-Autumn?
The Store House leases start from one month. A cupboard clear-out often needs only a month. Seasonal bedding can be extended later.
Can I move in over two trips?
Yes. Store the items blocking the living room first and add the rest the following weekend.
Can I access my unit on a public holiday?
Customer access is 24 hours. Reception is closed on public holidays, so viewings and new contracts should be booked on a working day.
Can I use the unit on the same day I sign?
After the size is confirmed and the contract is paid, same-day move-in is usually possible. The branch will confirm.
How do I get a unit that actually fits?
Bring box counts and photos. Tell us your district and how often you will visit. We recommend by use, not only by the lowest monthly rate. See Contact us.
