Vehicle Storage Size Estimator

Q: Can cars be kept in all storage units?

Extra Space Storage offers secure car storage with select drive-up units. Be sure to measure your vehicle to help you decide what size storage unit will work for your vehicle. Browse the available unit sizes at a storage facility near you to determine your vehicle storage options!

Q: How much does it cost to rent a vehicle storage unit?

The cost to rent vehicle storage with Extra Space Storage will depend on which unit size you need, whether or not the unit is climate-controlled, and your location. Reach out to our friendly self storage team to learn about our competitive monthly rates and great move-in deals!

Q: Is it better to store your car with a full or empty tank?

Cars and other vehicles should ideally be stored with a full tank to keep them in the best possible condition while in storage. This can help prevent future damage to the vehicle.

Q: What is the average size of a car in feet?

The average length of a car is about 14.7 feet and the average width is around 5.8 feet. Check the dimensions for your specific vehicle's make and model for a more accurate measurement, or you can also measure the width, length, and height of your car yourself to get your vehicles specific measurements.

Q: How long can a car sit without being driven?

Cars can sit idle, on average, for about two weeks without deteriorating in condition. However, the current condition of your car, as well as the steps you've taken to prepare it for storage, will ultimately impact its condition. At Extra Space Storage, you can easily take your vehicle in and out of storage as needed.

Vehicle Storage Size Guide

The minimum size needed for storing a compact car is a 10x15 storage unit. Larger unit sizes, such as 10x20, 10x25, and 10x30, are perfect for large vehicle storage like pickup trucks and vans. In order to determine what car storage unit size is ideal for you, we recommend physically measuring the length and width of your car to get a better idea. Measure from the tallest and widest points of your vehicle, taking side mirrors, roof racks, and open doors into special consideration.
