Vehicle, RV & Boat Storage

Vehicle storage is rented space for a car, truck, motorcycle, van, trailer, RV, camper, or boat when you do not have room at home. Spaces may be open outdoor parking, covered parking with a roof, or fully indoor storage inside a building.

Open spots are usually the lowest-cost option. Covered spots give some protection from sun, rain, and snow. Indoor spaces cost more, but they can help protect paint, seals, tires, and interiors during longer storage.

Common space lengths include 20 feet, 25 feet, 30 feet, 35 feet, 40 feet, and 45 feet. Some places allow wide or extra-tall vehicles, but height limits matter. A boat on a trailer or an RV with roof gear may need more clearance than you expect.

This service works well for people who need extra room for a second car, work van, classic car, trailer, jet ski trailer, fishing boat, travel trailer, fifth wheel, motorhome, or camper van. It is also useful if your apartment, condo, HOA, or city street rules do not allow long-term parking.

It can help during a move, military deployment, seasonal travel, home renovation, or a long work trip. Snowbirds often store an RV or boat for part of the year. New immigrants and people relocating to a new city may use storage while they find housing with enough parking.

If you are not sure what size space to ask for, measure the full length from bumper to bumper, or from trailer hitch to the end of the boat motor or spare tire. Add a little extra room for turning and access. You can start with our services and get help narrowing down the right fit.

Prices vary by city, season, space length, and storage type. Typical ranges, not quotes, are often about $50 to $150 per month for open vehicle parking, about $100 to $250 for covered parking, and about $200 to $500 or more for indoor vehicle, RV, or boat storage.

Large RV spaces and indoor boat storage usually cost more than a standard car space. High-demand cities, coastal areas, and peak seasons can push rates up. A 20-foot outdoor space may cost much less than a 40-foot covered or indoor space.

You may also see added costs for admin fees, required locks, insurance, or limited-access upgrades. Some locations offer month-to-month terms, while others may give lower monthly rates for longer stays. If you also need regular unit storage, see how much storage you may need.

First, confirm the exact size your vehicle or boat needs. Check overall length, height, and width, including mirrors, ladders, AC units, antennas, and trailers. Ask whether the space is pull-through or back-in, and whether there is enough room to turn around.

Next, ask about access hours, gate rules, lighting, fencing, cameras, and on-site staff. If you want to visit often, make sure the location's hours fit your schedule. If you need power for battery charging, winterizing support, or extra room to open doors, ask before you reserve.

For boats and RVs, check if the site requires registration, insurance, a title copy, or proof the vehicle runs. Some places do not allow repairs on site. Others may have rules for draining water, disconnecting propane, or using covers. Reading the rules up front can save time and money later.
