Parking space or enclosed unit: which do you need?
Most vehicle storage is a parking space rented by length, outdoors or under cover. An enclosed 10×20 unit fits most cars and protects them from snow, salt and sun, at a higher price. Motorcycles fit in a 5×10.
How do you prepare a vehicle for storage?
- Fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer.
- Change the oil if it's due.
- Disconnect the battery or put it on a trickle charger.
- Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.
- Clean the inside so nothing attracts pests.
- Call your insurer: some reduce the premium for a car in storage.
