How asia.storage is built — and what we deliberately don't do.
asia.storage is Asia's first verified self-storage network. A two-sided marketplace built by people who have run storage facilities themselves.
We don't scrape. We don't estimate. We don't invent.
We verify every operator. We standardize every listing. We publish every detail in the local language. And we tell you clearly what we know — and what we don't.
Our founder built KingKho — Vietnam's first self-storage company — in 2018. That means seven years of running real facilities, signing real tenants, and fixing real problems. We know what data actually matters, what gets stale, and what an operator wants from a marketplace.
That perspective shapes every choice: how listings are structured, what we ask operators for, how leads flow back, and why we charge per-lead instead of taking a percentage.
We're not a tech team that built a directory. We're operators who built the marketplace we wished existed.
Across Asia, storage is sold in different units, different currencies, different billing periods. Direct comparison is otherwise impossible. We standardize three things:
Area — every unit is shown in m² (and dual-displayed in sqft for Hong Kong and Singapore).
Price — every quote is normalized to monthly. Weekly rates convert via ×52 ÷12. Long-term contract discounts and one-time promotional rates are stripped. What you see is the standard month-to-month rate.
Currency — every price displays in its local symbol form: HK$, S$, ₫, ฿, ¥, ₩, Rp, ₱, RM, ₹.
A storage decision is local. So we built asia.storage to be local too.
Every listing is published in its market's native language alongside English. A Vietnamese customer searching in Vietnamese finds a Vietnamese listing. A Korean customer searching in Korean finds a Korean listing. Same for Thai, Japanese, Hong Kong Chinese, Indonesian, and Malay.
This isn't auto-translation. It's content written for the way customers actually search in each market.
Storage data goes stale. Prices change. Units fill up. Operators close.
Every facility carries a visible freshness timestamp — "Prices and availability verified — X days ago." When an operator updates their listing, the clock resets. When data goes stale, the system flags it for review.
This is the difference between "we crawl thousands of sites daily" and "every facility you see has been checked recently — and we tell you when."
For operators reading this page:
The old playbook says: don't show your price. Force the customer to call. Negotiate from there.
We recommend the opposite. Publish your price. Here's why.
The information landscape has changed. A growing share of consumer search no longer happens on Google — it happens on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude. When a customer asks one of these tools "what does self-storage cost in Hanoi," the tool doesn't browse 30 operator websites. It cites the sources it can parse. Sources with visible, structured pricing get cited. Sources that hide prices behind "request a quote" become invisible.
Hiding price made sense in a market where customers compared two or three nearby operators in person, and information asymmetry favored the seller. That market is ending.
The operator who publishes pricing in 2026 gets cited, qualifies leads before the first phone call, and signals confidence. The operator who hides pricing gets routed around — by the new search tools, by comparison sites, by customers who've learned to read silence as expensive.
There's a saying: "If you don't understand the laws of power, you will lose to someone who does." Applied to self-storage: if you don't understand how customers now search, you will lose to the operator who does.
We don't estimate prices we don't have.
We don't take commission, booking fees, or revenue share.
We don't sell your data.
We don't charge renters — ever.
