Are you storing your recreational vehicle or part-time use vehicle in your garage? Though the convenience of having it nearby might be something you enjoy, you are putting the vehicle at risk. You are also taking up a lot of valuable space that could easily be used for something other than the vehicle. In some cases, people have more vehicles than space for storing them. If any of these scenarios sound familiar, it might be time to look into boat storage or car storage units at an off-site location. This enables you to clear space in your garage or shed, and still keep you extra and recreational vehicles perfectly safe and protected from the elements. These facilities offer seasonal and situational options, too. This way you do not have to worry about wasting space during the months when the vehicle is not in use.

Storing a vehicle is possible at a variety of locations. Different facilities offer different features and you need to find the one that will work best for you. You can store the vehicles inside in interior garages or outdoors and covered. The latter provides some protection from the elements, but is not ideal for those living in harsh climates with extremely low or high temperatures. The interior garage option is obviously the best, but you will pay more for this method than for the partial coverage method.

Outdoor options are cheaper, but they offer less protection and less security. They are easy to sneak into and your vehicle will have easy access for those not authorized to get near it. If you choose outdoor covered facilities, just make sure the surrounding area is safe and the property has good security. Some outdoor facilities offer a gated or fenced area that protects all of the vehicles inside.

Once you think you have found an appropriate facility, determine how you are going to pay for the unit. Do they charge on the monthly or yearly basis? Usually monthly basis is better because you are not locked into a long-term contract. However, if you find something that works for you and they only offer annual rentals, it can still work. Just remember there will be times when you are using the vehicle, but still paying for it to be stored. If the cost is too high, look for a location that offers monthly rental.

Finally, consider size and access. While you want it to be difficult for strangers to access your vehicle, you want to make sure you can get to it at any time. Some facilities offer only seasonal access, so if you choose this option, just make sure you absolutely will not want your vehicle when you are unable to access it. Also be sure there is enough room in the unit for your vehicle. Before shopping around for the right facility, get the dimensions of your vehicle so you can rent a space as small as possible that is still large enough to suit the needs of your vehicle.
