Can You Store an ATV in a Storage Unit?

ATVs can be kept in a storage unit, along with other small off-road recreational vehicles. Extra Space Storage offers small vehicle storage and climate-controlled units, which can help protect your ATV, at many of our self-storage facilities across the U.S.

What Size Unit Do I Need to Store My ATV?

For all-terrain vehicles like ATVs, we recommend renting a medium-sized drive-up storage unit like a 10x10 or 10x15. This should even offer enough storage space for a helmet, gloves, and more. If you're planning to also store other vehicles like bikes and motorcycles, look into renting a larger storage unit.

How Do You Prep an ATV For Storage?

Prep an ATV for storage by taking the time to properly clean it. This will help keep it in good condition while it's in storage, protecting it from rust, pests, and corrosion. Here are some key steps for cleaning and prepping an ATV for storage:

• Wash off dirt, mud, and debris from the body and wheels, then throughly dry every part

• Apply a thin layer of lubricant to moving parts

• Fill the gas tank and add fuel stabilizer

• Disconnect the battery and store separately

• Inflate tires

• Cover with a breathable cloth

Should I Get a Climate-Controlled Storage Unit for an ATV?

While it's not always necessary, renting a storage unit with climate control can help protect your ATV from humidity and extreme temperature changes, keeping the body in good condition in storage.
