The right storage size saves you money and hassle — too small and you need a second unit, too big and you pay for empty space. As a rule of thumb: a Medium gobox (3.6m long) suits a 1-2 bedroom home or a few rooms of furniture, and a Large gobox (4.8m long) comfortably holds a 2-3 bedroom home. Bigger households typically use two Large units.
Two homes of the same size can need very different space, so think about what you are actually storing rather than just counting bedrooms. Note the bulky items — fridges, washing machines, wardrobes, lounges, mattresses, bikes and outdoor furniture — and if you also have a garage or shed to clear, size up.
Measure first
Measure your biggest items so you know they’ll fit.
Use the full height
Flat-pack furniture where you can, and stack boxes to the roof.
Keep a walkway
Leave access inside if you’ll need to reach things during storage.
When in doubt, size up
A little extra room costs less than a second delivery.
Packing well makes a big difference too — see our packing guide.

The Gobox team were amazing to deal with, and very well priced. If I need mobile storage again, I'll definitely being going back to Gobox.
We booked a box for moving house. I described my desire incorrectly however the team adjusted the booking so the box aligned with our plan. I was very grateful. Thank you for your services
Outstanding service from my first enquiry! This is a business that puts the customer first in EVERY-thing they do. Lovely friendly people who work cohesively to provide exceptional service exceeding my (high) expectations every time. I recommend highly. With gratitude.
This is the 3rd time since 2020 that I have used GoBox and can highly recommend their service. Great value for money and easy to organise.
The ease of service from the initial booking to delivery to pick up was sensational. Great team, great product and great service!
Absolutely exceptional service dealing with Gobox from two years ago until now. Their drivers and customer service reps are so helpful, friendly and easygoing! They are very responsive and communicative. I never had to wait on the phone to speak with someone and my emails have always been responded to within a day. If you need your belongings stored I cannot recommend Gobox enough. The units are clean, well engineered and secure. Delivery is made super easy as well!
