Important Vehicle Self-Storage Considerations

Security

When storing a car or vehicle in a self storage facility, you want to be confident that the location is secure. Look for electronic gate access, video surveillance, and well-lit properties. We take security seriously and all of our locations have video surveillance and pin code access electronic gates.

Access Hours

The convenience of accessing your car when you need it should be a significant factor when renting car storage. At most locations we offer extended access hours or even 24 hour access.

Local Weather

The weather in your area will play a significant role in which type of auto storage you decide to rent. For example, if you’re in an area with harsh storms, storing your car in a storage unit should be a strong consideration. Storing your vehicle in a storage unit or indoor car storage can help to ensure that your engine will have less weather-related damage like cracks and seal leaks.

Vehicle Insurance

Before storing a vehicle, be sure to check with your insurance carrier. Many insurance companies offer coverage primarily written to protect your car while in storage. Such off-road coverage can provide significant savings over road insurance coverage.

Types of Self-Storage Units for Vehicles

Many of our locations offer indoor storage, outdoor storage, and even covered vehicle storage space for cars. We know we have something that can work for you. 

Indoor Car Storage

Can you store a car in a storage unit? Yes, you can! Drive-up storage units provide an indoor, garage-like storage space for cars. With varying unit sizes, anything from a compact car to larger pickup trucks or commercial cargo vans can be stored in these units. Typically these units range in size from a 10×20 to a 10×30 or larger. Because of the protection this storage option provides, drive-up access units are great for long-term car storage, storing classic or sports cars, or storing a vehicle in an area with harsh weather conditions.

Outdoor Car Storage

If you live in an area with fantastic weather or prefer a more affordable self storage solution for your vehicle, outdoor car storage is a great option. Many of our self Storage locations offer outdoor parking units or spaces that can easily accommodate cars of all sizes.

Covered Car Storage

With a roof protecting your vehicle from the sun and other elements, covered car storage falls between indoor and outdoor storage. This option is more affordable than indoor storage but also provides better protection against sun, snow, hail, and other elements that could damage your vehicle. If you don’t live in an area with harsh weather or intense storms, this is an excellent option for storing your car.

Checklist for Storage a Vehicle in a Self-Storage Facility
