Indoor Car Storage Units

Identifying the Best Car Storage Options for You

When it comes to selecting car storage, it’s useful to explore all options so you can make the best choice. Consider how long you expect your unit lease will be, and what precautions you might need to take for your car, such as shelter from rain or snow.

Whether you’re trying to save space at home, declutter your garage, or haven’t got the room in your driveway, leasing a unit long-term might be a useful option for you. Short-term car storage can also be helpful if you are going away on vacation or a business trip and want peace of mind that your car is stored in a unit while you’re away.

Car Storage Preparation

Whether you are storing your car while traveling, or are putting it away for the winter months, long-term car storage is a useful solution.

Tips for Long-Term Car Storage

  • Store your vehicle over drip trays or cardboard to prevent fluids from leaking into the storage unit.
  • Empty your gas tank before storing a vehicle for any period of time.
  • Clean the car to keep the outer paint in reasonably maintained condition and remove any dirt or food inside.

Car Storage FAQs

Yes, you can park your car in a storage unit for as long as you like. You’ll need to ensure your storage space is large enough to fit your particular car, and that it has drive-up access. CubeSmart has over 1500 facilities nationwide and offers car storage throughout, including both indoor units and covered parking spaces. A facility manager can help you determine what type of car storage unit best fits your needs.

A 10’×20′ storage unit or parking space will usually accommodate most cars. This size will fit most SUVs and sedans. If you want to store a small, compact car, or a motorcycle, a 10’×15′ storage unit or parking space may work for you. Make note of your vehicle’s measurements to find out exactly which size you require. If you are renting a storage unit rather than a parking space, you’ll also need to ensure it has drive-up access.

If you have a shiny convertible that you’re putting into storage for the winter season, you’ll need to prepare your car for long-term storage.
