Benefits of a Car Storage Unit

There are many reasons to consider renting storage for a car if you don't use it regularly:

  • Secure protection - A vehicle storage facility keeps your vehicle safe from theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access with gated, monitored spaces and keypad entry.
  • Weather protection – Shield your car from sun, hail, and other damaging elements with covered or climate-controlled storage.
  • Free up garage space - Use your home garage for everyday vehicles, tools, or household items instead of long-term storage.
  • Perfect for extra vehicles – Store recreational, collector, or seasonal cars without cluttering your driveway or yard.
  • Stay organized – Enjoy a cleaner garage, more room for equipment, and a clutter-free outdoor space.

Peace of mind – Know your vehicle is safe, secure, and accessible whenever you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our vehicle storage units are designed to fit almost anything—from a car, truck, SUV, or trailer to other options like a motorcycle, recreational vehicle (RV), or even a snowmobile. Whether it’s a daily driver or a seasonal ride, we’ve got the right storage spaces for you.

Before storing your car, wash and potentially wax it. Then, make sure the antifreeze is set for the season. Add fuel stabilizer to ensure the fuel remains usable for up to 12 months. Change or top off all fluids. Vacuum it to remove crumbs that might attract pests. Finally, remove the battery and store it separately.

If you want added protection for a classic car or luxury car, climate-controlled storage maintains consistent temperature and humidity to guard against rust, paint damage, and weather extremes. However, unless your area has extreme temperatures, you can usually get by without climate control for vehicle storage. Only very delicate vehicles or vehicles stored in areas with extreme cold or heat need the added feature of climate control. Keep in mind that climate control adds to the cost of storage for a car.

Most car self-storage facilities offer flexible accessibility, with many providing 24/7 access so you can get to your car whenever you need it. Always check the specific hours of your chosen facility.
