How to Get a Household Storage Quote
Last updated: 25 August 2026 • 5 min read"How much is storage for a three-bedroom home?" We hear that question on the phone several times a day. There's no answer; or rather, there's no single answer. Storage doesn't have a list price, because a three-bedroom home in Çankaya doesn't cost the same as one in Sincan. Two things determine the price: how many cubic meters your belongings take up and where the facility is. To get a real budget, you need a quote; but there are things to look for when you get one, too.
Key Takeaways
- Both the on-site assessment and the quote are free; you're under no obligation to sign.
- Four pieces of information are enough: volume or number of rooms, address and floor, duration, and any special items.
- The quote should state packing, transport, insurance, minimum term, and access terms.
- Look at the total cost, not the monthly figure.
- Volume and location set the price; everything else is detail.
What Do We Need to Know for a Quote?
An accurate quote comes from accurate information, and we don't ask for much. First, the volume of your belongings or the number of rooms. Saying "contents of a two-bedroom home, plus the bike on the balcony" is enough to start; for a more precise estimate, see our guide on how many m³ of storage you need. Second, the address, floor, and whether there's an elevator. Don't skip this; it directly affects the labor. Third, the duration: 1 month or 12 months? It affects planning. Fourth, special items.
If you have pieces like a piano, a safe, antiques, or an aquarium, mention them up front; they're handled separately.
Three Ways to Get a Quote
Free on-site assessment
This is the way that gives the most accurate result. The team comes to your address, measures the volume on site, and sees the floor and the street with their own eyes. No fee, no obligation.
Online form
You enter the details, and a quote is prepared and sent to you. It's fast, and if your volume estimate is reasonable, it comes out close to reality. The quote request form is here.
Preliminary estimate from photos
If you send photos of your rooms to Troyi, you'll get a rough cubic-meter estimate. Don't mistake it for a quote; it's just a first look that shows what size storage unit you should be thinking about.
What Should a Quote Include?
Look for the following in the document you receive: the monthly storage fee and which volume it applies to; whether packing and transport are included; insurance coverage and its limit; the minimum term and move-out conditions; whether a deposit is required; and access rights to the unit, meaning how many times and during which hours. If any of these is unclear, that quote can't be compared. Don't put another quote next to it and say "this one is cheaper."
The Most Common Mistake When Comparing
Looking only at the monthly figure. It's something we see often: there are two quotes, one looks noticeably cheaper, and the difference is tempting. Then it turns out the cheaper one doesn't include packing and transport, insurance is charged separately, there's a fee every time you access the unit, and on top of that a deposit is required. The cheap one turned out to be the expensive one.
The math is simple: monthly fee × duration + one-time charges. That's called the total cost of ownership; base your comparison on it.
Two Things That Set the Price
Volume. It's directly proportional: renting more space than your belongings take up means paying for nothing every month. You can see monthly prices by volume in our table of current household storage prices.
Location. A facility close to the city center costs more than one on the outskirts. If you won't check on your belongings even once every six months, having them downtown does nothing for you; an outlying location saves you a lot. We explain the logic in our article on how storage fees are calculated.
Why Does the Same Volume Get Different Prices?
We get this question a lot. The answer usually lies in these details:
- Floor and elevator. A third floor without an elevator is a completely different job from the ground floor.
- How close the truck can get. A narrow street or a no-parking zone lengthens the distance items have to be carried by hand.
- Disassembly and reassembly. If wardrobes, bed frames, or kitchen cabinets need to be taken apart, it takes longer.
- Special items. A piano, safe, aquarium, or antiques require separate equipment.
Describe all of this fully during the assessment. Nobody wants to hear "we didn't know about this" on moving day; information is given up front so the price doesn't change later.
How Long Is a Quote Valid?
Always ask. Prices are updated from time to time. When moves pick up in the summer months, booking an appointment gets harder too; in June, "next week" isn't always possible. If your plans are firm, get your quote early and book your appointment.
After You Approve the Quote
Once you approve, your appointment is scheduled and the team takes care of the rest. We've laid out every step of the process in our article on how household storage works. For a quote, you can fill out the form or call 0850 888 66 15.
