Between Two Homes
Your lease ends before the new handover. We pack and collect on the move out date, hold everything, then deliver and rebuild on the day you get the keys.
Best for tenants whose dates do not line up

Storage That Starts at Your Front Door
Most storage services in Dubai rent you an empty room and leave the rest to you: the van, the packing, the lifting and the drive back months later. Best Mover Dubai works the other way round. Our crew packs your home, lists every carton and piece of furniture against a number, loads it into a closed truck and stores it on racks until you are ready.
That matters in a city where leases end on a fixed date and handovers rarely do. A gap of ten days between leaving a Jumeirah Lake Towers flat and getting the keys in Dubai South is normal. So is a villa in Arabian Ranches that needs its floors redone, or a family going home for the summer.
Storage is quoted with the move, not on top of it. Packing, collection, the storage period and the delivery back sit as separate lines on one written price, so you know the full cost before anything is wrapped.
- Survey before any price
- Packing done in your home
- Closed trucks both ways
- Furniture rebuilt on delivery

Four Reasons People in Dubai Put Their Things in Storage
The packing and the paperwork change with the reason, so tell us which one fits when you ask for a quote.
During a Renovation
Floors, painting or a new kitchen are far easier in an empty home. We clear the rooms being worked on, or the whole villa, and return each room as the trades finish.
Best for owners redoing a villa or apartment
While You Are Away
A long summer, a posting abroad or months between contracts. Packing is done for a long stay: covers that breathe, appliances dried out and nothing heavy on soft furniture.
Best for anyone leaving the UAE for months
Part of the Home
Moving somewhere smaller, making space for a baby or clearing a spare room. We take only what you mark, list it, and leave the rest of the home untouched.
Best for downsizing and decluttering

Sizing
How Much Space a Dubai Home Takes up in Storage
Storage is measured by volume, not bedrooms, so two homes of the same size can need very different space. The survey measures it properly; this is what usually goes in.
Studio
A bed, a sofa, a table, a television and a few dozen cartons.
Is cheap flat pack furniture worth storing at all?
1 BHK
Bedroom and living room furniture, kitchen cartons and a washing machine.
Do the fridge and washer go too, or stay with the flat?
2 BHK
Two bedrooms, a dining set, a full kitchen, books and clothes.
Which cartons you need first, so they go in last.
3 BHK
Most of a family home, often with a study or a maid’s room.
Children’s things you will want early, kept together.
Villa
A full home plus garage shelving, garden furniture, bikes and toys.
Outdoor items to sell or give away rather than store.
- Store what is worth more than the cost of keeping it, or what you cannot replace
- Sell or donate flat pack furniture that will not survive being taken apart twice
- Keep documents, valuables and medicines with you, not in storage
Dubai climate
Protecting Furniture and Electronics From Dubai Heat and Humidity
The biggest risk to stored furniture here is the climate, not theft. Each type of item is prepared differently, and the wrap depends on how long it will be stored.
Solid Wood and Veneer
Blanket wrapped, never stretch film directly on the finish.
Why: Film traps moisture and can mark or lift a veneer.
Leather Sofas and Chairs
Cleaned of dust, covered in breathable material.
Why: Leather dries and cracks when sealed in plastic.
Fabric Sofas and Mattresses
Fitted covers, stored flat or upright as the maker intends.
Why: Keeps dust and smells out and stops sagging.
Fridges and Freezers
Defrosted and dried, doors wedged slightly open.
Why: A closed damp fridge grows mould within weeks.
Washing Machines
Drained, drum secured, hoses dried and bagged.
Why: Water left in the pump smells and damages seals.
TVs and Screens
Original box or a padded screen pack, stored upright.
Why: Screens crack under pressure laid flat.
Mirrors, Glass and Art
Corner guards, padded wrap and a rigid carton or crate.
Why: Glass is what breaks most often in long storage.
Rugs and Carpets
Cleaned, rolled pile inwards, wrapped in breathable sheeting.
Why: Folding leaves creases and traps damp.
Books, Papers and Photos
Small cartons, off the floor, away from the stack edges.
Why: Paper takes in moisture and heavy cartons split.
Garden Furniture and BBQs
Cleaned of sand and grease, cushions packed apart.
Why: Grease and sand spread to everything nearby.
Getting things back
One Carton, Part of the Load or Everything
Because every item has a number, you never have to empty the store to find one thing. If you need the winter clothes, the passports you packed by mistake or the children’s toys after two weeks, email us the inventory numbers and we bring those cartons out on their own.
A part load works the same way: take the essentials first, live with them for a while, then send for the rest once you know what fits. Each delivery is ticked off the same inventory, so the list always shows what is still stored.
When everything comes back, the crew checks each number off the truck, places furniture in the rooms you choose, rebuilds what was taken apart and unpacks the cartons you want opened first. We deliver anywhere in Dubai, and to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
- Single cartons by inventory number
- Part loads when you are ready
- Full delivery and setting up
- Dubai and the northern emirates

Before you book
What Stays Out of Storage, and What to Ask
Some things are unsafe or will be missed at the worst moment. And whoever you book with, a few questions sort the careful storage companies from the rest.
Keep These Out of Storage
- Food of any kind, including sealed tins and pet food
- Plants, which will not survive in a closed store
- Gas bottles, paint thinner, fuel, aerosols and fireworks
- Passports, Emirates IDs, tenancy contracts and cash
- Jewellery, watches and anything irreplaceable
- Medicines and anything you use every day
Questions to Ask Any Storage Company in Dubai
- Is the store ventilated or air conditioned, and is anything on the floor?
- Will I get an inventory, with existing marks noted before collection?
- Can I get one item back, and how much notice do you need?
- Is there a minimum period, and what if my dates move?
- What cover is available for loss or damage, and on what value?
- Are collection and delivery back included, or priced on top?
Checklist
Before Your Things Go Into Storage
A few jobs on your side make collection day faster and keep everything in better shape while it is stored.
- 01Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer at least a day before collection
- 02Drain the washing machine and dishwasher, and leave the doors open to dry
- 03Set aside a bag of documents, chargers, medicines and clothes for each person
- 04Mark anything you want back first, so it is loaded last
- 05Photograph valuable furniture and artwork yourself as well
- 06Take down curtains and wall mounted TVs, or ask us to at the survey
- 07Tell us about anything unusually heavy, valuable or fragile before the day
- 08Confirm the delivery address and access if it is already known
Pricing
What Changes the Price of Storage in Dubai
Self storage is priced per unit per month, so the advertised figure is only part of the cost: packing, the van and two rounds of loading come on top. Our storage is priced by the volume you store and how long you keep it, with collection and delivery back included, so the written quote is the total.
Volume
The space your furniture and cartons take up on the racks. A survey measures it, so the price is not a guess.
Storage Period
Weeks or months. Longer stays need packing suited to them, included in the quote from the start.
Packing
Full packing by our crew, or a mix where you pack books and clothes and we take the fragile and heavy.
Access at Both Ends
Service lift slots, loading bays, stairs and long carries at both addresses change the crew time.
Deliveries Back
One full delivery, or several part loads and single carton retrievals over the period.
Special Items
Pianos, large mirrors, marble tops and artwork need extra wrapping, crating or more hands.
FAQs
Storage Services in Dubai: Your Questions
Something we have not covered? Call 058 135 7375, email hello@bestmoverdubai.ae or send the quote form with a note.
How Much Is Storage per Month in Dubai?
It depends on the volume you store, how long you need it and whether collection, packing and delivery back are included. Self storage units are charged by size per month and you handle the moving yourself. Our storage is priced on the volume and period with collection and delivery back included, so we survey first and send one fixed price in writing. Call 058 135 7375 or use the quote form.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Store Furniture in Dubai?
Store only what is worth keeping, pack the light things like books and clothes yourself, and choose dates mid month when crews are easier to book. If you are moving anyway, storage booked with the move usually avoids paying for a van and a second round of loading. Selling flat pack furniture instead of storing it often saves more than any discount.
Do You Pick Up and Deliver Back?
Yes. Collection from your home and delivery back to the new address are part of the service and part of the written price. We deliver anywhere in Dubai and to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman. Furniture is rebuilt on delivery and the packing waste leaves with us.
Is There a Minimum Storage Period?
Storage is agreed for the period you need, whether that is a week between leases or several months abroad. If your dates change, tell us and we adjust the quote in writing rather than leaving you to guess what you will be charged.
Can I Get One Item Back Before the Main Delivery?
Yes. Every carton and piece of furniture has an inventory number. Email us the numbers you need and we bring those items out without emptying the rest, then deliver them to you. Give us a little notice so the retrieval can be planned with a crew.
Is My Furniture Safe Through a Dubai Summer?
Heat and humidity are the main risks, so we prepare each item for a long stay: breathable covers on leather and upholstery, blanket wrap on wood instead of film, appliances dried out, and everything stored off the floor with nothing heavy resting on soft furniture. Tell us how long the storage will be so the packing suits it.
Can I Store the Whole Contents of a Villa?
Yes. Whole villa storage is common during renovations and long periods abroad. We survey the house, including the garage, garden and roof terrace, so outdoor furniture, bikes and shelving are planned for rather than discovered on the day.
What Cannot Be Stored?
Food, plants, anything flammable such as gas bottles, paint thinner and aerosols, and anything you might need urgently: passports, Emirates IDs, tenancy contracts, cash, jewellery and medicines. We go through the list at the survey so nothing is packed by mistake.
Do I Need to Be There on Collection and Delivery Day?
Someone you trust needs to be there at the start to walk the crew through the home and at the end to check the inventory and sign it. In between, you do not need to stay. The same applies on delivery day.
Is Storage Insured?
Tell us the value of what you are storing, especially anything unusually expensive, when you ask for the quote. We will explain the cover available for your goods and write it into the price, so it is agreed before collection rather than assumed.
