Does anyone know the going rate, even a rough ball park per m2, for renting a garage or similar for storing furniture? Obviously the location isn't important as long as it is dry and secure, although car access would be good. Does €200 per month for 40m2 sound high? That's what we have been paying since we arrived and I'm feeling ripped off!

That is high. It only costed us £12 a week back in UK for a "transit van" size container.

Here most of the people who want to rent a garage are rich enough to have an expensive car they want to store in it. In Zagreb a 15-30m2 garage rents for between 100-200 euros a month depending on the neighborhood. People even by them for 15 000 euro.

it doesn't have to be a garage.. it could be an unfinished house, a konoba or maybe a big room in a summer house. In the uk there are companies which rent out secure storage, but I can't find such things in Croatia. maybe i am looking in the wrong part of the phone directory?

200 euro for 40 M2 of storage ? In Kastela ?
You should be able to rent a complete apartment (long term) for that price in that region !
Industrial space (with permissions, electricity, water etc) rents for about 5 euro/m2, so a simple storage should be much cheaper.
Guess you fell victim to the 'oh, it is a foreigner' reaction.

Guess you're right. with hindsight we did that so often in the first three months in croatia, that I don't think we had time to do anything else

Carol, I have been looking for storage space in the Dubrovnik area (Gruz, Lapad, Zupa Dubravacka, etc.) for almost a year and I have only just found what I need. It ended up being a friend who is letting me store things in his home. I am not sure what it's like up there, but my area is definitely lacking in this area.
So, I think it is relative. Back in Canada we had huge storage complexes that were less than a dollar a day, but they were everywhere.
My opinion - I think that sounds a bit high.
