What Types of Vehicles Can You Place in Storage Units?

Using a storage facility for vehicles saves space in your driveway and garage and offers additional protection from the weather. The Storage Mall Management Company offers vehicle storage solutions, including storage for cars. Here is more information about the types of vehicles you can place in storage units:

Car Storage

Storage for cars includes drive-up indoor units that serve as garages. These allow you to park cars ranging from compact vehicles to commercial vans; sizes are available from 10 x 20 to 10 x 30 and bigger. You can rent these for short-term or long-term car storage.

Using an indoor unit for your car helps protect it from debris, dust, and sun exposure that can damage the interior and paint. Storage facilities may use video surveillance and well-lit areas to prevent theft and unauthorized entry. We offer PIN-code electronic gates to help keep your car safe.

Climate-controlled storage is an ideal option for protecting high-value cars, such as classics or sports models. A climate-controlled unit maintains a temperature between 55 and 85 degrees, preventing humidity or temperature extremes that could damage the vehicle and helping protect sensitive materials like leather. This type of storage is useful for preventing rust or mildew.

Boat Storage

A storage unit provides space to store your boat during both the summer and the off-season. Some facilities have longer access hours or even 24-hour access, making it easier to pick up and drop off your boat as needed. We offer month-to-month rental agreements; these allow you to store your boat for the winter as needed.

The size of your boat affects the type of storage you need. Measure boats ahead of time on the trailer to see what size you will need; make sure to check the height as well. Smaller boats and vessels, such as jet skis and drifters, can be kept in a 10 x 15 self-storage unit. 10-by-20 and 10-by-30 units are available for larger boats, such as 14- to 24-foot fishing boats, smaller pontoons, and runabouts shorter than 24 feet. If your boat does not fit into a storage unit, see our outdoor and covered parking spaces.

RV Storage

Some neighborhood Homeowner Associations do not allow RVs to be parked in driveways or on the streets, and keeping your RV in a storage unit can help you avoid HOA fees. Types of RVs include class A, class B, and class C motorhomes, meaning they require different sizes of units. Since class A motorhomes are typically 12 feet or taller, covered or outside parking may be the best option. Class B motorhomes measure between 22 and 25 feet lengthwise and are about ten feet tall. Depending on the unit's height, these motorhomes can fit within a 10 x 25 or 10 x 30 drive-up space. Class C motorhomes can fit within 10 x 30 or 10 x 40 units, depending on height.

Reserve Storage for Cars

Storing vehicles in indoor units helps protect the engines from cracks or seal leaks, and outdoor parking spaces make them easier to access. You can also choose to keep motorcycles in vehicle storage facilities. Year-long leases are available for long-term storage.
