Car storage units come in a variety of options, including outdoor car storage, indoor car parking and covered car storage units .

Outdoor car storage is typically the least expensive parking option. Storage providers usually provide a partitioned space behind a gated perimeter. Some storage facilities may also have video surveillance, which adds another layer of security. The con to this type of storage is that your vehicle is exposed to the elements.

The next step up would be covered car parking. A covered car storage unit is comparable to a carport on one’s home. The covering provides some protection from the elements and will prevent the accumulation of ice and snow.

A step up from covered car parking are indoor car storage units where the vehicle is parked inside. The indoor space is comparable to a garage and offers the most security and protection. Often, these are the most expensive of these three most common car storage options.
