Storage cost in Ho Chi Minh City
Storage prices here are hard to compare because operators quote in different units: per square metre, per cubic metre, per box, per month, sometimes with the collection fee hidden in the small print. This page puts the numbers side by side, starting with ours, which are published in full.

Four ways operators price, and how to convert
| Pricing unit | What it means | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Per square metre of unit | Floor area of a self storage unit; height is extra volume you may or may not be able to use | Unit heights vary; a 2 m² unit 2.4 m tall is not the same as one 3 m tall |
| Per cubic metre | Volume of shelf your things occupy | How many boxes they count per m³. We count 4 boxes of 60 × 40 × 40 cm; some sheets say 8, which halves the space per box |
| Per box | A flat rate per box per month | Furniture is priced separately and often expensively |
| Per plan | A fixed monthly price for a fixed number of boxes and equivalents | Whether collection, packing and materials are included; ours are |
Per box and per year
Divide the plan by its boxes: Small is about 96,000 VND per box per month standard or 121,000 VND air-conditioned; Large falls to about 75,000 VND standard, 94,000 VND air-conditioned. On a 12 month term at 15 percent off, Small standard costs 13,896,000 VND, Medium 24,072,000 VND, Large 42,948,000 VND. A year of Small is less than one month of rent on most one-bedroom flats in the central districts.
Three worked totals
| Home | Plan | Storage / month | Collection and return | Six months total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | Small | 1,158,000 VND | 2,186,000 VND | Six times the monthly, plus the collection |
| One-bedroom | Medium | 2,006,000 VND | 3,910,000 VND | Six times the monthly, plus the collection |
| Two to three bedrooms | Large | 3,579,000 VND | 7,360,000 VND | Six times the monthly, plus the collection |
Air-conditioned adds the difference shown in the price list below.
Seven fees to ask any operator about
- Collection and delivery: included, or per trip? Ours is a published one-off fee for the truck and the crew, with packing priced separately and published too.
- Packing materials: boxes, wrap and tape can add a surprising line. Included here.
- Deposit: normal for self storage, none for valet here.
- Retrieval: per item, per trip, or per visit? Ours is one published price per item, a box or a wardrobe alike.
- Distance: addresses outside Districts 1 to 5, Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan and Go Vap add a flat 230,000 VND trip fee to a collection or a delivery here. Ask what "the city" means in other quotes.
- Short notice: a collection with less than 2 days notice adds 30% of the collection fee here.
- Minimum term and exit: one month here, billed month to month, no exit fee. Some operators want three months or charge to close.
What changes the price most
- Plan size, which you can reduce by giving things away before collection day.
- Climate: air-conditioned is worth it for wood, leather, paper, fabric and electronics; not for plastic and metal.
- Model: valet is cheaper per month and adds delivery fees; self storage is dearer and free to visit.
- Term: 15 percent off on a 12 month term.

Frequently asked
Is there a daily or weekly rate?
No. Plans are monthly. A two-week gap costs one month, which is still usually less than the alternatives.
Do prices include VAT?
No. VAT is added at the current rate and shown on the invoice.
When do I pay?
Once a month, and the first before the crew comes. When our office confirms the booking, the first month's invoice is issued in your account, due within seven days and paid by bank transfer. Each later month is invoiced as it begins.
Is the collection fee refundable if I cancel?
A booking can be changed or cancelled before the crew sets out. If the term invoice has already been paid, contact us and we settle it with you in writing.
Can the price go up during my storage?
Your plan and its price stay while the plan runs. A move to a bigger plan is at the published price for that plan.
