Storage options in Ho Chi Minh City

Four different products share the word "storage" here. Picking the wrong one is what makes it feel expensive.

Four different products get called "storage" in this city and they are not interchangeable. Picking the wrong one is what makes storage feel expensive. Here is what each is actually for.

1. Self storage

You rent a locked unit and hold the only key. You arrange your own transport and do your own lifting, and you can walk in whenever you like, usually 24/7. You pay for the whole unit whether it is full or half empty.

Right for: anyone who needs to get at their things often, wants to rearrange them, or is storing stock they dip into weekly.

At Tủ Mây: from 1,550,000₫ a month, one month deposit.

2. Valet storage

A company collects from your door, stores your things, and brings back what you ask for. There is no unit with your name on it. You are billed for the volume your belongings actually occupy, which is why it works out cheaper than a unit for the same things. Retrieval is booked ahead rather than instant.

Right for: storing and forgetting. A trip, a renovation, a gap between leases, a home that has run out of room.

At Tủ Mây: from 1,250,000₫ a month, plus a one-off collection fee from 3,300,000₫ that already covers the truck, the crew and all the packing.

3. Storage with a moving company

A removals firm holds your things between two homes. Convenient if they are already doing your move, and priced for weeks rather than months. Inventories are usually at the level of "14 boxes and a sofa".

Right for: a short, defined gap in a move you have already booked with them.

4. Luggage storage

Hourly or daily lockers and shop-counter drop-offs for travellers, listed by aggregators like Radical Storage and Bounce. Priced per bag per day.

Right for: a suitcase for an afternoon between checkout and a flight. Storing a household this way for months costs many times what monthly storage costs.

The one question that decides it

How often will you need to reach your things?

Weekly or more. Self storage. You are paying for access, and access is what you need.
Once or twice, or not until the end. Valet. You are paying for volume, and you should not also pay for empty space and your own time.
You genuinely do not know what is in there. This is the case for an item-level catalogue. A receipt saying "12 boxes" is not an inventory, and after six months you will not remember.

What to ask before you sign anything

Is the quote monthly, or is there also a one-off collection fee? Ask for both numbers.
Does the collection fee include packing, materials, the truck and the crew, or are those extra?
Is there a surcharge for distance, or for stairs?
What does it cost to get one item back before the end?
Air-conditioned or not, and what is the difference in price? In this climate it matters for wood, leather, paper and electronics.
How is the inventory recorded, and can you see it without phoning anyone?
What is the cancellation term if your plans change?

Where Tủ Mây fits

We are not the oldest or the largest. Saigon Storage has done valet here since 2016 and MyStorage runs the biggest network, and we store your things in MyStorage facilities. What is different here is that every item is photographed and referenced individually before it leaves your home, so you can ask for one particular thing back rather than a bin, and that the whole price list is on the site rather than behind a quote form.

Frequently asked

What storage options are there in Ho Chi Minh City?

Four: self storage, where you rent a locked unit and move things yourself; valet storage, where a company collects and delivers and you pay for the volume your things occupy; storage with a moving company, for short gaps in a move; and luggage storage, hourly or daily lockers for travellers. For a household stored a month or longer, it is the first two.

Which is cheaper, valet or self storage?

Valet, for the same belongings, because you are not paying for the empty part of a unit. Self storage buys you access rather than space, so it is worth more if you go in often.

Who offers valet storage in Ho Chi Minh City?

Saigon Storage has offered it since 2016, MyStorage offers collection and delivery alongside its self storage network, and Tủ Mây offers it with an item-by-item photographic catalogue in an app.

Is luggage storage a cheap way to store furniture?

No. Luggage storage is priced per bag per day, which is fine for an afternoon and very expensive for a month. Household storage is priced monthly.

Do I need air-conditioned storage in Ho Chi Minh City?

For solid wood, leather, paper, textiles, instruments and electronics, yes. Humidity is what does the damage here, not heat. For sealed boxes of kitchenware or plastic furniture, standard is fine.

Store it, get it back when you need it

We come to you, pack, photograph every item and keep it in climate-controlled storage. One message brings any of it back.
