In addition to their primary vehicles, many people have cars they only use to cruise around town in the summer, tackle winter roadways, or haul heavy loads. The question often arises of where to put the automobiles when they’re not in use. Investing in off-site car storage is a good idea for the following reasons.  

Why It’s Best to Store Your Vehicles in a Unit

1. Save Space in the Garage

If you have a confined garage, there might not be space to fit a special occasion or seasonal vehicle in addition to your primary vehicle. Trying to squeeze both vehicles in the tight space increases the risk of damaging both.

While pulling one vehicle in and out, you could bump into the second car or the side of the garage. Keeping one vehicle in an off-site storage facility will create more space in the garage to put smaller items as well as your primary car. 

2. Keep Your Vehicle Secure

If you don’t have a garage, parking your vehicle on the street isn’t advisable. People with bad intentions could be tempted to vandalize or steal your investment. Without a covering for protection, the car paint could get damaged by snow, hail, sun exposure, bird droppings, and tree sap, etc.

Storage facilities have large enclosed units to keep cars protected from the elements. The facilities are also gated and well-lit, with video surveillance and on-site personnel to deter theft. 

3. Grow Your Collection

Many people may not add to their car collection because they simply don’t have enough storage. If you want to pick up the hobby of collecting vintage, rare, and unique vehicles, opting for car storage will provide peace of mind knowing that each of the investments will remain in good condition. You can get a new unit to rent for short- or long-term storage for each car you acquire.
