How it works

Storage without the schlep

Four simple steps, all from your phone.

  1. 1

    Tell us what to store

    Pick your boxes and bulky items. Our size guide shows exactly what fits and what it'll cost — before you commit to anything.

  2. 2

    We collect from your door

    On your area's service day — and your very first pickup is free. You pack your boxes, we seal each one with a numbered seal.

  3. 3

    We store it safely

    Your things are kept secure and sound. Bulky items are photographed on the way in; boxes stay sealed. It's all in Your Garage.

  4. 4

    Back whenever you ask

    Request any item on WhatsApp and we'll bring it on your next service day — or choose on-demand if you need it right away.

Why Jou Garage

The friendly way to make space

Everything you'd want from a garage — minus the garage. Go on, lift a door.

Pay per box, not per room

Only pay for the space you actually use. No renting a whole empty unit for a few boxes and a bed.

Door-to-door, always

We collect and deliver. You never have to hire a bakkie or carry anything down three flights of stairs.

It all happens on WhatsApp

Book a pickup, ask for something back, or just check in — right where you already chat.

Your Garage, always visible

A neat visual inventory of everything you've stored, with photos of your bulky items. Never forget what you have.

Sealed-box peace of mind

You pack and seal each box with a numbered seal. Intact seal on return means nobody's been in it.

Made for city living

Built for apartments, complexes and estates where a garage is a luxury and every square metre counts.

Box size guide

Not sure how much you need?

Tick off what you want to store and we'll tell you how many boxes — and which sizes — you need, plus a rough monthly price.

Small

R 49/mo

40 × 30 × 30 cm

Books, documents, kitchenware and other small, heavy things.

Medium

R 69/mo

45 × 40 × 40 cm

The everyday all-rounder — a mix of household bits and pieces.

Large

R 89/mo

50 × 45 × 45 cm

Light and bulky things that take up room but don't weigh much.

Wardrobe

R 129/mo

50 × 50 × 110 cm

Tall box with a hanging rail — clothes go straight in on hangers.

You don't always use all the space.

Why pay for it?

Go on — make a mess

Drag it, throw it, stack it. We'll tidy up.

  • • Request anything back in a couple of taps
  • • Condition photos for your bulky items

Loved by locals

South Africa is making space

4.8 from 6 happy customers
Our flat finally feels like a home, not a storage unit. They fetched eight boxes and the couch on a Monday and I didn’t lift a thing.

The WhatsApp thing just works. I asked for my camping gear back on the Wednesday, it was at my door on Thursday.
JJames V. · Observatory
I was paying for a whole storage unit for basically a bed and some boxes. Paying per item is so much cheaper.
NNandi K. · Claremont
Seeing everything in ‘Your Garage’ with photos means I actually remember what I’ve got. No more mystery boxes.
PPieter D. · Durbanville
Moved between flats and used Jou Garage for the gap month. Easiest move I’ve ever done.
AAisha P. · Gardens
The sealed-box thing gave me peace of mind. My stuff came back exactly as I packed it.
