Turn your empty space into extra income
List your garage, shed, carport or driveway on StoreNextDoor — completely free. You set the price. You set the terms. We connect you with renters nearby.
Three good reasons to list
Extra monthly income
Your unused garage, shed or carport could be earning you money every month. With cost of living rising, StoreNextDoor turns sitting space into monthly income.
You set the terms
You decide the price, the access rules, what can and can't be stored, and how long you're available. StoreNextDoor doesn't dictate terms — that's between you and the renter.
Free to list
No subscription, no upfront fees, no commission. Sign up, describe your space, upload photos, and you're live.
How hosting works
1
Create your listing
Sign up and click "List Your Space." Describe your space honestly — include dimensions, security features, access arrangements and any restrictions. Upload clear, well-lit photos.
2
Set your own price
ou decide what to charge per month. Consider the size, security, accessibility and how long you're willing to offer the space. Check similar listings in your area for guidance — competitive pricing attracts more enquiries.
3
Respond to enquiries
When a renter contacts you, ask the right questions. Confirm what they're storing, how often they'll need access, and how long they need the space. Trust your instincts — you can decline any enquiry that doesn't feel right.
4
Agree terms and welcome them in
Once you're comfortable, finalise access arrangements and payment with the renter. For larger items like boats or caravans, a short written agreement is a smart precaution for both sides. Take photos of the space when they move in for your own records.

Common questions from hosts
Any unused, accessible space — garages, sheds, carports, driveways, basements, lockable storage rooms or covered outdoor space for vehicles, boats and caravans. If your space is secure and accessible, list it and see what enquiries come in.
Yes. You set your own monthly rate. Consider the size of the space, its security, accessibility, and how long you're available. Pricing competitively attracts more enquiries — browse similar spaces near you on StoreNextDoor to see local rates.
Trust your instincts. You're under no obligation to accept any enquiry. Ask questions about what they're storing, how often they need access, and their preferred payment method. Confirm they won't be storing anything illegal or hazardous. If anything feels off, decline — there's no penalty for saying no.
StoreNextDoor connects hosts and renters — we don't manage agreements or payments between you. That's why we recommend agreeing clear terms in writing before items are stored, especially for high-value or larger items. If something goes wrong, contact us at [email] and we'll help where we can — including removing renters from the platform for serious issues.
No — StoreNextDoor doesn't require hosts to provide insurance. Most home and contents insurance policies cover damage to your property, but check with your insurer if you're storing third-party items. Renters are responsible for insuring their own belongings if they want coverage. Be upfront with renters about what's covered and what isn't.
