8 Best Self-Storage in Singapore: What You'll Pay a Month (from $49) and How to Pick the Right Unit (2026)

Self-storage in Singapore is a decision about three things: price, coverage and what the unit actually gives you. Here are the eight worth knowing, with the real per-month price where a brand publishes one, the unit sizes and access on offer, and how many locations each runs. The most useful finding came out sideways: the three biggest operators don't publish a single price, while the cheaper challengers put their rates right on the page.

One of Singapore's most established self-storage names, with around 15 facilities islandwide and flagship sites at Tanjong Pagar and Chai Chee. A premium, well-run operator that has been in the trade for years, which is exactly what you want behind a long storage commitment. Pricing is by enquiry, and the number depends on your exact unit size and term. Where: lockandstore.com.

2. Extra Space Asia

The biggest operator in the region, with more than 100 facilities across Asia and around 15 here, offering climate-controlled units plus dedicated wine and document storage. The default big-and-reliable pick, and a safe bet when you want a nearby branch with a long track record. Price by enquiry. Where: extraspaceasia.com/sg.

3. StorHub

The largest Singapore footprint at 18 facilities (it absorbed the old Big Orange brand), so it's often the nearest option wherever you live, with units spanning 4 to 2,000 sqft, the widest size range here. Price by enquiry, with rotating promotions, and contents insurance is compulsory on top of the rent. Where: storhub.com.sg. Full review: our StorHub review, with the 13 areas mapped and the terms.

4. U-Store@SG

The most transparent pricing of the lot: a flat $3.00 per sqft per month, plus a big loading area for bulky or mechanical items and container-sized options. It's essentially one northern location, so it's a coverage trade-off for the honest, published rate, and there's an extra 10% off for NS men. Where: ustoreatsg.com.

5. StoreFriendly

Lockers from $98/mo for about 10 sqft, GST included, and the go-to for wine storage with dedicated climate units from $148/mo, across eight sites, some with a coworking or office hybrid. It is also the only large operator here that publishes a full rate card rather than quoting on enquiry. Where: storefriendly.com.sg.

6. BEAM Space

The cheapest small unit and the only true valet option: from about $49–65/mo for 15 sqft ($98 air-conditioned), with a team that collects from your door, then catalogues and photographs every item, so you never visit a facility. Get the pickup and transport fees quoted in writing up front, as you would with any valet service, and you'll know your real all-in number. Where: beamspace.com/sg.

7. Work+Store

Lock+Store's business-focused sister brand: air-conditioned storage from $75/mo with a valet option, aimed at SMEs storing stock or documents. Around six locations, and it publishes a clear entry price, which most of the bigger names don't. Where: workstore.com.sg.

8. Store-Y

A north-region specialist across Sembawang, Yishun and Woodlands, handy if you're near the Causeway or the northern estates. Pricing runs on rotating promos rather than a fixed published rate, so ask for the current offer on your unit size. A convenient local pick for the north. Where: mystorey.com.sg.

Also worth knowing: Space Next Door

Space Next Door is a booking marketplace rather than one operator: you browse and instantly book units online across its own buildings (Kranji, Bukit Batok) and partner sites. Because it aggregates many operators rather than running one, it sits outside the ranked eight, but it's a useful way to compare availability quickly.

Why don't the big brands publish prices?

It's not an accident. Extra Space, StorHub and Lock+Store price by enquiry because their rates flex constantly with unit availability, promotions and how long you commit, so they quote you for your exact requirement.

That's normal, but it puts the work on you: always get a written quote for your exact unit size and term, and ask about the promo rate versus the renewal rate, because the cheap first month can jump on renewal. The brands that publish flat prices (U-Store's $3/sqft, BEAM, Work+Store) make that comparison easy, which is worth something in itself.

Air-conditioned or not?

Ambient (non-aircon) units are the cheaper default and fine for furniture, tools and most household overflow. Pay up for climate-controlled only if you're storing things that mind Singapore's humidity: electronics, leather, documents, musical instruments, wine. Expect roughly a 30–50% premium (e.g. BEAM's ambient 15 sqft at ~$65 versus $98 air-conditioned).

What customers actually report

The recurring gripe is promo-then-hike: a cheap first-month or introductory rate, then a steep increase once your things are inside and moving them out is a hassle. Alongside it come hidden add-ons, the admin fee, security deposit, compulsory lock and insurance, and restricted access hours, that push the real monthly cost well above the listed price, plus minimum-term lock-ins that make leaving costly.

So compare on the renewal rate and the lock-in, not month one. Ask for the true all-in monthly cost and the increase terms before signing, whether access is genuinely 24/7, and whether there is a minimum term, deposit or admin fee. Some Singapore operators now advertise no deposit, no admin fee and no minimum term precisely because those are the things that bite, so favour them if you value flexibility.

So which one should you go with?

• Best all-round / most established: Lock+Store or Extra Space Asia.
• Nearest branch, wherever you are: StorHub (18 locations).
• Cheapest small unit / no time to visit: BEAM Space (valet).
• Most transparent rate: U-Store@SG ($3/sqft) or Work+Store ($75/mo).
• Wine or documents: StoreFriendly or Extra Space.
• North / near the Causeway: Store-Y.

U-Store@SG's flat $3/sqft/month is the most transparent per-sqft rate. Promo rates often rise at renewal, and the renewal figure is the one that decides the real cost.

Which self-storage brand is best in Singapore?

For an established, islandwide operator, Lock+Store and Extra Space Asia are the safest picks. For coverage, StorHub has the most Singapore locations (18) and the widest range of unit sizes. For a door-to-door valet service without visiting a facility, BEAM Space, which is also the cheapest small unit.

Why don't the big self-storage brands show prices?

Extra Space, StorHub and Lock+Store price by enquiry because rates flex with availability, promotions and commitment length. Get a written quote for your exact unit and term, and ask about the renewal rate, the discounted first month often rises later. Brands like U-Store, BEAM and Work+Store publish flat prices, which makes comparing easier.

Is air-conditioned storage worth it?

Only for humidity-sensitive items, electronics, leather, documents, instruments, wine. For furniture, tools and general household overflow, a cheaper ambient unit is fine. Climate control typically adds roughly 30–50% to the price.
