Storing Your Vehicle
In a Personal Garage
Those with room in a
personal garage often opt to store their car at home instead of at a storage
facility. This is a great option for storing small vehicles like cars and
motorcycles, though doing so can potentially make the space crowded and reduce
their storage capacity for household essentials. Oversized recreational
vehicles like RVs or boats may
be too large for a garage and need to be stored in a driveway or on the street,
which can be inconvenient or conflict with HOA requirements. Storing your car
in a home garage gives you the following:
·
Easy access for
checking the vehicle’s condition
·
Protection against
storms and sun exposure
·
Protection from theft
and vandalism
·
No additional cost to
store
Storing Your Vehicle
In an Indoor Storage Unit
Indoor storage units
provide a secure, enclosed space for cars, motorcycles, and
other small recreational vehicles. If you lack storage space at home, keeping
your vehicle in an indoor storage unit is a great solution for freeing up
garage space. Common unit sizes like 10 x 25 can be great
for storing compact cars or large trucks. Storing a vehicle in a storage unit
is a great idea, but it’s important to take precautions to keep your vehicle safe in
storage. Here are some of the benefits of keeping your car in an
indoor storage unit:
·
Saving space in a
home garage
·
High-quality security
features
·
Protection from
intense weather
Storing Your Vehicle
In an Outdoor Parking Space
Outdoor parking
spaces are ideal for storing large recreational vehicles like boats, RVs, campers,
trailers, commercial vans, and
trucks. While outdoor parking spots don’t provide the same protection from the
elements, renting a covered outdoor space or investing in a quality car cover
can help mitigate some of that risk. When deciding if outdoor parking is the
right storage option for you, here are some of the benefits to consider:
·
Designated parking
spot
·
Secure storage
environment
·
Frees up driveway
space
·
Avoids breaking
neighborhood HOAs or apartment guidelines
