The numbers

What storage costs per week, per day and per cubic metre

Monthly prices are hard to compare when unit sizes differ. Cost per cubic metre is the fair test, so here it is.

How that compares in New Plymouth

Around half of New Plymouth storage providers do not publish a price at all. Among those that do, a 20ft container or a similar sized unit of about 18 square metres was advertised at roughly $200 to $280 a month when we checked in October 2026. Our full container is $220 with GST included, and it sits under a roof.

How to compare storage quotes

  1. Ask whether the price includes GST. Ours does.
  2. Ask for the size in cubic metres, not just floor area. Height matters when you stack.
  3. Ask whether the price is per week, per four weeks or per calendar month. Four weekly billing means 13 payments a year.
  4. Ask about any setup, admin or lock fees on top.
  5. Divide the monthly total by the cubic metres. Now you can compare any two quotes fairly.

Why a full container is the better buy

A full container costs $80 a month more than a half and gives you twice the room. If your load is anywhere near the limit of a half, going full means you can pack loosely, leave an aisle and reach things without unloading. The size guide shows exactly what fits in each.
