Short-Term and Temporary Storage in the Klang Valley
In short: StorHub offers temporary storage at five Klang Valley locations, rented month to month. The minimum rental period is one month, there is no security deposit and no lock-in, and you pay the first month's rental and an RM50 admin fee to start. You get 24/7 access with your unique PIN code, plus CCTV and individually alarmed units. Book online or by phone, or visit first.
How short can short-term storage be?
The minimum rental period is one month. After that, your rental runs month to month with no lock-in period, so you can rent for as short as one month or for as long as you need. That makes short-term storage rental a practical fit for a renovation, a move, a semester break or a few months abroad.

When do people need temporary storage?
Temporary storage during renovation
Contractors need clear rooms, and building dust travels. Moving furniture, appliances and boxes out for the duration protects them and gives your contractor room to work. Ask your contractor for a realistic timeline and allow some extra time, as building work can run over. Our guide to storage during a home renovation has more planning tips.
Moving between homes
If your new home isn't ready when you have to leave the old one, temporary furniture storage bridges the gap. Book your own movers or transport for both legs of the move, because StorHub provides the space but doesn't move, collect or deliver goods. Wrapping furniture well before it goes in saves trouble later, and our furniture storage guide explains how.
Travelling or working abroad
For a posting or a long trip, you may not want to keep paying rent on a home just to hold your belongings. Setting up autopay before you leave keeps your rental paid while you're away, and 24/7 PIN access means you can get to your things even after a late flight home.
Students between semesters
If you're leaving a hostel or rented room over a break, a one-month minimum with no security deposit keeps things simple. Our Petaling Jaya facility serves students at Sunway University, Universiti Malaya and UTAR, and our Seri Kembangan facility is near UPM in Serdang. Depending on how much you have, a locker or XS unit may be enough.
Staging a home for sale
Many property agents suggest clearing bulky furniture and personal items before viewings, so rooms look larger and buyers can picture themselves living there. Storing those items for a month or two keeps them safe until you move.
A festive declutter
Before Hari Raya, Chinese New Year or Deepavali, or when relatives come to stay, a short-term unit gives you room to clear space at home. It can also hold festive decorations for the rest of the year.
