Common questions

How much can I earn?
Earnings depend on your space type, location and how often it's booked. Use the calculator above for a personalised estimate based on South Africa market rates.
What spaces work best?
Garages, sheds, yards, driveways, carports, paddocks and warehouse bays all work. If it can fit a vehicle or piece of equipment, someone is probably looking for it.
Is it really free to list?
Yes. Listing is completely free. StorageFinder takes a 15% commission only when you earn. If you don't get booked, you pay nothing.
How do I get paid?
Payments are processed through Stripe Connect. Once a storer checks in, your payout is released directly to your linked bank account, typically within 24 hours.
Can I set my own price?
Absolutely. You set the weekly or monthly rate. You can update it any time. The calculator on this page gives you a guide based on your space type.
What if I want to use my space sometimes?
You control your availability calendar. Block out dates when you need the space and only accept bookings that suit your schedule.
