How Much Does Storage Cost in Malta? A Complete Guide

Whether you’re moving, renovating, or need extra space for your business, one of the first questions that comes up is: how much does storage cost in Malta?

The answer depends on several factors, including the type of storage, volume of items, duration, and extra services you may need.

At StoreX, we believe in transparent pricing - so here’s a complete guide to help you understand storage costs and choose the best solution for your needs.

Storage Options in Malta

Storage Type	Typical Use Case	Pricing Structure
Shared warehouse storage (offered by StoreX ✅)	Longer-term storage, business use	Pay by cubic metre per month
Self-storage units	Frequent personal access	Fixed unit size (monthly fee)
Container storage	Short-term transit or moving	Flat fee for container duration

This guide will focus on shared warehouse storage, as it offers excellent flexibility and value for both personal and business needs.

How Shared Warehouse Storage Pricing Works

At StoreX, you pay only for the volume your items occupy - not for an entire empty unit. Here’s how it works:

Cost Factor	How It's Calculated
Volume occupied (cubic metres)	Measured after packing and palletising
Storage duration	Per calendar month / quarter
Handling fees	Applied when items are first stored and when retrieved
Optional services	Packing & materials, transportation, insurance, disposal

Minimum storage volume: 3 cubic metres

Storage period: Flexible - short-term or long-term (minimum of 1 month)

👉 Use our handy Space Calculator to estimate the volume of your items.

Additional Costs to Consider

When comparing storage prices, it’s important to factor in:

• Handling fees - a one-time fee when storing or retrieving items

• Packing services - available via our Packing & Unpacking team

• Packaging Materials - quality boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and more

• Transportation - we can collect and deliver your items.

• Services Insurance - optional but recommended for peace of mind.

• Lifter services - if items are located in an apartment.

  
  

At StoreX, we provide personalised quotes - so you always know what to expect upfront.
