The minimum rental period of a storage unit varies from company to company. But storage units are often rented for at least one month by most of the storage companies in Australia.

A 10×10 storage unit can accommodate the contents of about three average-sized rooms or two large bedrooms and is about half the size of a one-car garage. It measures 10 feet wide by 10 feet long, has a 100-square-foot-floor area, and can hold 800 cubic feet of items.

Yes, you will surely need insurance for your storage goods as most of the reputable Australian self-storage companies require it. Also keep in mind that many companies will offer their own insurance or will partner with an Australian insurer.

Mobile storage is very convenient: it allows you to pack the unit directly from your desired location since the storage company will deliver it to you, then take your belongings to a facility for as long as you need it, and then return them to you once you no longer need it.

There are some items you should not put in a storage unit. Most self-storage companies will forbid those categories of items as they are illegal and can create hazards or hygiene problems to facilities and customers: 

• Animals – This is because it is illegal and unsafe to keep any living entity in a storage unit.
• Any perishable food items – All perishable food items cannot be stored in a self-storage unit because, after a while, they tend to decay and attract vermin.
• Flammable or toxic materials – The storage of any flammable, toxic, or hazardous materials such as compressed gas, propane tanks, kerosene, motor oil, acid, grease, corrosive, fertilizers, etc. is highly prohibited.
