Reasons To Use A Car Storage Unit

Blog

Did you know that there are storage units made for storing vehicles? They're similar to regular storage units, except they're large enough to fit your car, and you're actually encouraged to do so. You may be wondering why someone might need to store their vehicle in such a unit, but there are many reasons. 

Waiting to Repair the Car

If you plan on repairing one of your cars but have to wait for an opening at the shop or save enough money for the repairs, you can store it in a storage unit until then. That way, you can free up the space it was occupying at your home since you won't be able to drive it anyway. You could even find a storage facility near your mechanic's shop, so they can easily access the car once they're ready to repair it.  

Selling Your Car

If you're selling your car, you might want to keep it at a storage facility until it sells. You could store it in a more populated area than where you live, so it's easy to show it to anyone interested in buying it. It will also free up a parking spot at you're home for guests, other vehicles you own, etc. 

Added Security

One of the best parts of storing your vehicle in a storage unit is the extra security measures that most storage facilities provide. Suppose you have a particularly valuable car and don't have very good security at home. In that case, it makes sense to store it at a storage facility that likely has security gates, cameras, guards, etc.  

Not Enough Parking Spots at Home

If there aren't enough parking spaces at your home for all of your vehicles, and there isn't consistent street parking available, a storage unit might be your best option for parking your car. Rather than parking illegally or circling your block hoping a spot opens up, you can simply rent a car storage unit nearby and have a consistent place to park at all times. 

Need Your Car to Be Covered

A car storage unit is an excellent option if you don't have a garage and need your car to be covered and protected from the elements. You can keep it safe from rain, snow, mud, etc., just as you would if you had your own garage. If you want, you could only store your car in the unit when there's bad weather in the forecast and keep it at home when there's no need to protect it from the elements.
