StorageFinder is Australia's marketplace for vehicle, equipment, and general storage. We connect people who need storage with property owners who have spare space — yards, garages, sheds, driveways, and commercial lots. It's peer-to-peer, so you deal directly with verified hosts.

Free for storers, always. No sign-up fees, no search fees, no hidden charges. For hosts, listing a space is completely free. We take a 15% platform fee from each booking — only when you get paid.

All of Australia. We have listings in every state and territory, with coverage growing across metro, regional, and rural areas. Use the search to find spaces near you.

Search for spaces near you, pick one that fits, and send a booking request. The host reviews your request (usually within 24 hours). Once approved, you'll be asked to pay. Once payment's done, you're locked in.

Trucks, trailers, caravans, motorhomes, boats, cars, machinery, containers, and general items. Each listing shows exactly what vehicle types and sizes are accepted.

Yes. You can send a custom offer when booking if you have specific requirements — like multiple vehicles, longer terms, or different timing. The host can accept, decline, or counter.

Contact the host through our messaging system first. If you can't resolve it directly within 14 days, you can request platform-facilitated mediation from your booking page. Our team aims to acknowledge and begin investigating disputes within 48 hours. Resolution timeframes depend on the complexity of the dispute.

All payments go through Stripe, one of the world's largest payment platforms. Your card details are never stored on our servers. You can pay per booking or set up monthly recurring payments for long-term storage.

Yes. Each listing has a cancellation policy (flexible, moderate, or strict) shown before you book. You can cancel from your bookings page. Refund eligibility depends on the host's cancellation policy and how far in advance you cancel.

Sign up, choose whether you're listing as a private individual or business, then create a listing. Add your location, what you can fit, some photos, and your price. Our team reviews listings within 24 hours.

A space that's suitable for vehicle or equipment storage, a few photos, and a bank account for payouts. If you're a business, we'll ask for your ABN. That's it.

Connect your bank account via Stripe (takes 2 minutes). When a storer pays for a booking, your payout is automatically transferred after check-in. Funds typically arrive within 2-5 business days, depending on your bank and payment processing times.

15% of each booking. There are no listing fees, no monthly fees, and no sign-up fees. You only pay when you earn. The fee covers payment processing, trust and safety features, verification services, dispute resolution, and platform maintenance.

No. You choose which bookings to accept. Review each request and approve or decline. You can also enable Instant Booking if you'd prefer bookings to be confirmed automatically.

We recommend both hosts and storers maintain appropriate insurance. StorageFinder does not provide, arrange, or recommend specific insurance products. Check our insurance guide for general information. Coverage varies by policy and insurer — contact your insurer to confirm your specific coverage.

We offer multi-level verification: email verification, phone verification, and identity document checks (KYC). Users who complete all three earn the Verified Mate badge. You can see verification status on every profile.

A Verified Mate is a user who has verified their email, phone number, and identity. It's our top trust tier. Look for the green badge on profiles and listings.

After a booking completes, both the host and storer can leave a review. Reviews include a 1-5 star rating and a written comment. All reviews are public and help the community make informed decisions.

If a host is registered for GST, the prices shown on their listings include GST. Hosts who are not registered for GST do not charge GST. The GST treatment depends on each host's individual tax registration status. If your total GST turnover (from storage and all other business activities) exceeds $75,000, you must register for GST. Consult the ATO or a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through Stripe. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also supported where available.

If a payment fails, the booking reverts to approved status and you can try again. We'll notify you by email. If you're on a recurring monthly plan and a payment fails, the booking is marked as overdue until payment is resolved.
