Car Storage FAQs

Yes, most storage facilities allow vehicles and offer specialized car storage options with varying levels of security and weather protection.

Yes, a 10x20 unit (200 sq ft) can fit most standard cars, compact SUVs, and motorcycles, but it may be tight for larger vehicles like full-size trucks or large SUVs. Measure your vehicle's length and width to confirm fit.

A trickle charger is a charger for car batteries that can be left on the battery for long periods of time. A trickle charger keeps your battery from losing all charge as well as from becoming overcharged. Trickle chargers run between $15-$100, depending on how many amps you need. The longer your car is in storage, the more amps the battery will need.

It may be safest to remove the battery and place it on a trickle charger in your own home, rather than leaving it in the storage unit.

Though you may not be driving your car for a while, it must remain registered and insured to be in a storage unit. Talk with your insurance agent about switching to a less expensive temporary coverage plan, as vehicle insurance laws vary from state to state. Common coverage plans for cars in storage are comp-only and seasonal.

If you park an uninsured vehicle in a storage unit, you run the risk of receiving a citation or having your license suspended. Don’t forget to switch your insurance when your car is back on the road!
