Did you know that a majority of Americans wish they had more storage in their homes? As a result, garages are often packed with household items, including Christmas decorations, bowling trophies, lawn tools, and sports equipment. This leaves vehicles sitting in the driveway, the street, or even parked in the backyard. Renting a vehicle storage unit is the best solution.

From a regular trailer and an 18-wheeler to a crane, you can rent a storage unit to store your vehicles safely. Hobbyists can use these vehicle storage facilities to store classic vehicles or RVs. Business owners can opt to store company cars, service pickup trucks, and even construction vehicles in a vehicle storage facility when they’re not in use. This frees up valuable space on any property and protects your investments.

1 Vehicle Storage

A growing number of subdivisions and communities no longer permit vehicles to be parked anywhere except in a garage or driveway. To comply with HOA rules, protect your vehicle, and prevent damage, a storage unit may be your best solution for storing seasonal watercrafts, ATVs, additional cars, or motorcycles.

This category of storage encompasses all types of transportation and recreation, such as RVs and boats. Boat storage, RV storage, and car storage are all under the same umbrella of vehicle storage, too!

There are numerous self-storage facilities in the U.S. that now offer rental space for your car, boat, or RV. The rates vary depending on the space size and amenities offered. There are also specialized places that cater only to cars, RVs, or boats. These units help you store your vehicle safely and provide space for other tasks, such as cleaning and routine maintenance.

Prices will vary significantly, depending on the amount of space you need and the features you desire. It’s important to do your homework before you decide on a facility to reduce your risk.

One piece of advice we recommend is to store your vehicle close to your residence or your place of business. Being nearby makes it easy to check in on your vehicle, notice the early signs of weather damage, and keep your vehicle in peak condition. Choosing a vehicle storage unit near you will provide unmatched peace of mind.

2 Car Storage

There are numerous occasions when storing your car temporarily or even for an extended period is necessary. Whether you’re moving overseas temporarily or are an avid classic car collector, there are a variety of self-storage facilities across the country that can allow you to safely store your car when it’s not in regular use.

You want to find the right storage facility for your needs, and you also want to make sure your car is stored properly. If you choose a facility you're not comfortable with, or the car isn’t stored safely, then you could run into issues down the road.

Some car storage facilities offer climate control, surveillance, and accessibility. You want to choose the facility that provides the right amenities to store your luxury car for your desired period of time. It’s essential that your vehicle remains undamaged and free from mechanical issues while it’s in the facility. In hot climates like Miami, Panama City Beach, Houston, Buckingham, or Los Angeles, an enclosed unit would be ideal to protect your vehicle from the sun, rain, and wind.

Tires can get flat, the battery can die, and the gasoline can break down, leading to difficulties restarting the engine. If there isn't any protection from external elements and the proper safety precautions aren't taken, you could be putting your beloved car at risk of damage or theft.

Apart from climate-controlled storage, gated vehicle storage is also a valuable amenity that’s worth the investment to ensure safety. If you're unsure about the facility's security measures to protect your car, be sure to ask plenty of questions before signing a contract and leaving your car behind.

3 Boat Storage

In many parts of the country, boat owners do not have the luxury of keeping their boats on the water year-round. Some leave their boats docked at the lake or have a private dock right off their backyard. However, lakes in northern climates, such as those in Chicago or New York City, can freeze solid.

Due to the risk of freezing and other issues, boating enthusiasts often need to find a place to store their boats during the offseason. For those who have small boats, jet skis, or other types of water vessels, a boat storage unit may be the best option for keeping your vessel safe and free from harm when it’s not in use.

In coastal cities like Los Angeles, Long Beach, or Fort Lauderdale, numerous facilities offer outdoor boat storage spaces, providing an economical way to store your boat. Like outdoor car storage spaces, these resemble parking spaces and will keep your boat out of harm's way. You can park your boat right in the storage facility on your trailer, so it will be ready to hook up and pull out of storage once the weather warms up and boating season returns.

If you own a larger boat or even a medium-sized boat, you may need a specialized storage facility to house your vessel in the offseason. These types of boats don't really fit into a standard storage facility, such as those used for much smaller vessels and other personal watercraft.

While it may cost more to store a larger boat, it's essential to ensure that your vessel is placed in the right type of storage facility to protect it from the weather and minimize the risk of damage. When storing your boat, consider the size of the vessel, but also pay close attention to the level of protection you're looking for in a vehicle storage unit.

4 RV Storage

Cartoon RV with green background to represent vehicle storage units.

An RV is a great way to travel all over the continental U.S. at nearly any time of the year. It’s an excellent choice for families with kids, retired couples, and anyone else who has the leisure and resources to spend time exploring the country.

Families that own recreational vehicles need to find a safe place to store them during the year when they are not traveling. Most of these families take the RV out during the summertime when their children are out of school and there’s an opportunity to spend some great vacation time together. Other RV owners include retirees (and potentially their adult children) who can travel at any time they want, but may still have obligations at home.

RVs are a great vehicle for visiting the Grand Canyon, checking out Las Vegas, or exploring the Rocky Mountain National Park near Denver, all without the extra expense of hotels or resorts.

However, there are issues to consider regarding ownership. For example, these vehicles are often too big for home garages. Many communities and subdivisions prohibit parking and storing an RV in front of your house, in the backyard, or even in the driveway.

An RV storage unit is the ideal choice! It allows you to store your RV off-site, so it's not at your home. However, it still provides a safe location where your RV will be protected and accessible. The majority of RV storage units are outdoor parking spaces and land lots. This is the most economical way to store your RV when you’re not on the road. Some outdoor RV parking spaces even offer some shelter from the wind and rain with stand-alone canopies and three-sided wall canopies.

Protecting your RV from the elements may be important to you, but RVs are also designed to withstand outdoor conditions. With the exception of extreme weather conditions, storing the RV outside should never be a concern. 

If you’re looking to store your RV indoors during the offseason, you'll need to find a vehicle storage facility with units large enough to house your RV. While these are not as common as the outdoor storage options, they do exist across the United States. Be sure to write down the exact dimensions of your RV before calling around for an indoor RV unit. That way, the person you talk to can discuss with you whether your RV will fit in an indoor storage unit at their facility.

5 Motorcycle Storage

Only a few states in the country can boast 12 months of beautiful motorcycling weather. It's not very common, and it's not something that most people can expect or look forward to. With the exception of people in those states, bikers in America have to find a way to store their bikes properly during the colder months. Bikes need to be protected from the elements, and it's essential to plan for this before the first snowflakes start to fall.

Allowing motorcycles to sit outdoors during snowstorms and freezing temperatures can be hard on the mechanical components. It's also not good for the metal, rubber, and other products that make up the bike.

Sport bikes with a lot of plastic can be at high risk in frigid temperatures because plastic is highly prone to cracking in cold weather. The cold makes the plastic brittle, which can cause significant damage to the bike if it's not properly protected from cold weather in northern cities like Minneapolis or Boston during the winter months.

In addition, motorcycles are easy targets for thieves and vandals because they are significantly smaller and lighter than cars. Motorcyclists who live in an apartment complex or a home without a garage will need a safe storage option for their bike when they won't be riding it for a while. A motorcycle storage unit can be an economical way to protect your bike and keep it ready to ride any time!

6 Trailer Storage

You don’t need to take up your garage or yard space trying to store a trailer, and you don’t have to worry about what your HOA might say. Just bring your trailer to a storage facility and let them keep it safe for you!

Trailers are incredibly versatile for hauling a wide range of items, including furniture, other vehicles, boats, and even construction equipment. They’re great options for moving things from one place to another and can provide a lot of help when you're moving to a new house or need to take large items to donate or sell.

Businesses and private owners alike own trailers, and they all need a safe place to store them. Trailer vehicle storage units are a great way to protect your trailer from damage, vandalism, and theft when it’s not in use.

Most storage facilities offer outdoor parking spaces that are ideal for storing trailers. When you're ready to use your trailer, simply drive up, hitch it up, and go! If you need to store multiple items, you can even lease an enclosed outdoor storage unit for your trailer and store your trailer with items already loaded.

These kinds of enclosed spaces aren't the best choice for empty trailers simply because they really aren't necessary. But storing trailers and items together in an enclosed space is great for safety and protection.

Before storing your trailer, ensure you've thoroughly inspected it and completed any necessary maintenance. Then, store it in a way that makes retrieval easiest for you. With the right facility, you’ll have very little risk to worry about. Your trailer will be exactly where you left it!

Whether you use it frequently or not, having it easily available at a vehicle storage unit is the best option.

7 ATV and Small Watercraft Storage

Cartoon red jet ski to represent vehicle storage units.

An ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle), snowmobile, or small watercraft (such as a jet ski) is small enough to fit in any drive-up unit that is 5x10 feet or larger. Renting a smaller unit also costs less and provides protection against theft or vandalism.

Storing these small vehicles at home isn’t always an option. Many people lack the extra space in their garage, and even fewer have a storage shed where they can store an ATV or watercraft. If you live in a neighborhood that an HOA regulates, you probably also have significant restrictions on what you can store at home that’s visible from the street or from other residents’ homes.

Because of that, you need an off-site space to keep your ATV or watercraft. We’ll help you find storage units that meet all of your needs. It’s safe and protected, and your vehicle will be out of the elements, but still easy to access when you need it.
