How much does mobile storage cost in Perth? (2026 guide)

Mobile storage in Perth costs from $299 per month for a Small 10ft container with Mobistorage, from $399 per month for a Medium 16ft, and from $499 per month for a Large 19ft. Delivery and collection are quoted separately based on your suburb, distance and site access, and you’ll see the full figure upfront before you book.

That’s the short answer. The longer answer — the one that actually saves you money — is about how to compare storage prices properly, because the advertised monthly figure is only part of the picture.

Why cubic metres — not square metres — are the fair comparison

Square metres measure floor area; cubic metres measure the space you can actually fill. Container heights vary between providers — Mobistorage containers are 2.3 m tall, while some competitors’ modules are 2.0–2.2 m. On a similar footprint, a taller container holds noticeably more: more boxes, more mattresses, more of your garage. When you divide the monthly price by cubic metres, providers that look similar on floor area can be a dollar or two per cubic metre apart every month.

The four things that move your total cost

• Container size — a bigger container costs more per month but is often cheaper per cubic metre. One 16ft container usually beats renting two or three small modules.
• Delivery suburb and access — transport is quoted by distance from our Yangebup yard and how easy your site is to access. Tight driveways or restricted sites can affect the quote.
• Duration — storage is month to month, so the biggest variable is simply how long you need it. Moving-related storage in Perth typically runs 1–3 months.
• Number of units — this is the quiet cost trap. Providers that only offer small modules need two, three or four of them (and multiple delivery fees) to match one container.

Watch out for the introductory-rate trap

Some large traditional storage chains advertise steep discounts for the first month or two, then lift rates significantly once you’re settled in — documented increases of 48–62% within 12–18 months in some cases. Always ask what the ongoing rate is, whether it’s guaranteed, and what the provider’s history of increases looks like. We publish our monthly rates and quote transport upfront, because pricing surprises are the fastest way to lose a customer’s trust — and we intend to keep ours.

Mobile storage vs traditional self-storage: the hidden line items

A traditional unit’s advertised rate leaves out the truck hire (often $300+ for a weekend), the fuel, and your Saturday. Mobile storage folds the transport into one quoted delivery and collection, and the loading happens in your own driveway. For many Perth households, the all-in comparison favours mobile storage before you put a value on your weekend — and it certainly does after.
