Yes, you can store a car long term! Leases at our storage facilities are month to month, so you can store a car or personal vehicle for as long as is necessary. The cost of long-term car storage can vary depending on the type of car you're storing and how long you plan on renting self storage.

While you can store your car in a storage unit, we do not allow for customers to use our storage units as a vehicle workshop. Extensive maintenance and repairs must be done elsewhere.

Though you may not be driving your car for a while, it must remain registered and insured to be in a self storage unit. Talk with your insurance agent about switching to a less-expensive temporary coverage plan, as vehicle insurance laws vary from state to state. Common coverage plans for cars in storage are seasonal and comp-only. If you park an uninsured vehicle in a storage unit, you run the risk of receiving a citation or having your license suspended. Don’t forget to switch your insurance when your car is back on the road.

No, 10×10 storage units aren’t big enough for most U.S. cars. We didn’t mention 10x10s above because the only car in the U.S. that’s less than 10 feet in length is the Smart Fortwo. However, our 10x10 storage units can accommodate smaller vehicles such as motorcycles.

If you arrive at one of our locations and the storage unit isn’t quite big enough for your vehicle, we’ll work with you to find a larger storage unit that will work. If you’ve overestimated how much space you need, we can help you get into a smaller storage unit to save you some money.

While many car storage solutions can be costly, Extra Space Storage strives to provide customers with affordable vehicle storage so they can store classic cars or automobiles without having to break the bank.
