Operators within reach of Al Barsha
11 operators, ordered by distance from Al Barsha.
- Vachi StorageBest all round
Two sites three kilometres apart in Al Quoz, and between them a wardrobe box, a painting and a car are handled by the same operator under the same contract. The self storage tariff is published in full, from AED 330 a month for 15 sq ft, and every unit is climate controlled rather than just the premium bays. Pickup and packing come with the contract.
AED 330per month2.7 km, about 10 min via Al Quoz Industrial Area 3 - MoreSpaceClosest to Sheikh Zayed Road
Sits inside Gold and Diamond Park, which makes it one of the easier facilities to reach from Sheikh Zayed Road without going deep into the industrial grid.
AED 285per month3.1 km, about 10 min - Storall StorageLate night access
Biometric entry that genuinely works around the clock, on the same Al Quoz Industrial 3 strip as several rivals. A sensible pick if you expect to visit your unit at odd hours.
AED 230per month3.4 km, about 10 min - Reef StorageCheap per square foot
Aggressive pricing per square foot in Al Quoz Industrial 4, with indoor bays that also take cars. Fewer specialist tiers than the larger operators.
AED 220per month3.6 km, about 10 min - Easytruck StorageMoving plus storage
A removals company that also stores, which is useful when the move and the storage are the same job. Pricing is quote based rather than published.
On quoteno public rate4.9 km, about 15 min - The Box Self StorageMost branches
Four sites across Al Quoz, JLT, Dubai Investment Park and Dubai Industrial City, so there is usually one within a reasonable drive whichever side of the city you live on. Units run from 12 sq ft lockers up to 1,000 sq ft bays.
AED 250per month5.6 km, about 15 min via Al Quoz Industrial Area 1 - SpaceHub Self-StorageLowest entry price
The lowest published entry price for a real self storage unit rather than a pod or a box, and sign up runs through an app instead of a sales call.
AED 175per month5.6 km, about 15 min - 800 Storage DubaiBusiness and stock
Twenty years in Dubai and three locations, with a fulfilment arm that suits e-commerce stock rather than household boxes. Worth a call if you are storing inventory that needs to ship out again.
AED 240per month6.1 km, about 15 min via Al Quoz Industrial Area 2 - SafeStorage DubaiNo facility visit
A valet operator, so you never see the warehouse. They collect, store centrally and bring items back on request. Per box billing keeps small loads cheap and makes bulky furniture expensive.
AED 99per month8.5 km, about 20 min - Arena StorageDubai South and DIC
Climate and pest control at Dubai Industrial City. Far from central Dubai, but the obvious choice if you already live or trade in Dubai South.
AED 199per month31.2 km, about 60 min - Boxit StoragePay per pod
Mobile pods collected from your door. Cheap to start, but you cannot pull one item out of a pod without retrieving the whole thing, and pods are not climate controlled by default.
