Types of Vehicle Storage
Extra Space Storage offers four types of vehicle storage: indoor drive-up, outdoor, covered, and indoor climate-controlled. With different sizes, levels of protection, and costs, each option has its advantages.
Indoor Drive-Up Vehicle Storage
Want an enclosed space for your vehicle? Indoor drive-up vehicle storage is the option you want. At Extra Space Storage facilities throughout the nation, storage units with drive-up access can be used to store cars, motorcycles, and even small recreational vehicles.
Pull the vehicle into the unit, close and lock the door, and you have a garage-like storage space that provides maximum protection from the elements. In most cases, a drive-up storage unit is the more expensive option for storing a vehicle than outdoor storage.
Best for: Motorcycles, ATVs, seasonal vehicles, and everyday cars where full weather protection is the priority but climate control is not required
Climate-Controlled Vehicle Storage
Keep your vehicle in good condition year-round by renting climate-controlled indoor storage. Climate-controlled indoor storage units help protect against extreme heat, freezing temperatures, and humidity damage to electronics, paint, leather, and rubber seals. There are three types of climate control you can rent, depending on your vehicle's needs—this is typically the most expensive vehicle storage option.
Climate-Controlled: Typically maintains a consistent temperature between 55 and 80 degrees
Heated: Temperature typically stays above freezing temperatures
Air-Cooled: Helps keep the storage space cool by blowing cold air
Best for: Classic cars, luxury vehicles, long-term storage, and any vehicle with sensitive electronics or finishes that need protection from temperature or humidity extremes
Covered Vehicle Storage
Though availability may be limited, covered vehicle storage is a good in-between cost solution at Extra Space Storage. Covered vehicle storage is essentially outdoor parking with a protective roof, which provides some coverage from sun exposure and precipitation, and the price point generally falls somewhere in the middle of indoor vehicle storage and outdoor vehicle storage.
Best for: RVs, boats, and larger vehicles that need weather protection at a lower cost than fully enclosed indoor storage
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
If you have a vehicle that's too large to fit inside an enclosed storage unit, outdoor storage is a good alternative. This option is typically available as a designated parking stall or an open parking lot at Extra Space Storage locations. While outdoor parking doesn't provide coverage from the elements, it's often a good option for cheap vehicle storage!
Best for: Large RVs, boats, trailers, and commercial vehicles where cost is the primary consideration and weather exposure is acceptable

What Size Storage Unit Do You Need For Your Vehicle?
Use the chart below as your starting point, then follow the steps to confirm the right fit for your specific vehicle.
Unit Size | What Fits | Common Storage Type | Ceiling Height * |
Motorcycles, ATVs | Indoor/enclosed | 8 ft – 10 ft | |
Compact cars, select motorcycles & ATVs | Indoor/enclosed | 8 ft – 10 ft | |
Sedans, SUVs, small trucks | Indoor/enclosed | 8 ft – 10 ft | |
Large trucks, vans, small RVs, boats | Indoor/enclosed or outdoor | 8 ft – 10 ft /unlimited | |
10x30+ | Large vehicles, RVs, boats, trailers | Outdoor uncovered | Unlimited |
Find Your Starting Point: Refer to the chart above to determine the best size for your vehicle type.
Measure Your Vehicle's Full Length, Width, & Height: Including side mirrors, tow hitches, and roof accessories.
Add Clearance on All Sides: Plan for at least two feet on each side and three feet at the rear.
Account for Maneuvering Space: Longer vehicles and anything on a trailer need extra approach length.
Check Ceiling Height & Clearance if Storing Indoors: Most units provide 8–10 ft ceilings, but functional clearance may be slightly lower due to the door mechanism. If your vehicle is close to the limit, contact your local facility to confirm ceiling and clearance height before reserving.
*Contact your local facility to confirm ceiling height for indoor units.
How Access, Clearance, & Height Affect the Size You Need
Your vehicle's dimensions are just the starting point. Door clearance, side clearance for safe positioning, approach length for maneuvering, and vertical height for roof-mounted accessories all determine the unit size you need. Plan for a unit that gives you room to work, not just room to fit.
Factor | Consideration | Impact on Sizing |
Access Ease | Smoothly entering and exiting your unit | Affects the width and height of the unit required |
Clearance | Space around the vehicle for safe positioning | Influences the overall size and layout of the unit |
Maneuvering | Room to drive the vehicle into the unit | Impacts the length of the unit needed |
Height | Vertical clearance for roof racks, antennas, or raised suspensions | Determines whether a standard 8 ft clearance unit is sufficient |
