Yes, you can store a car in a storage unit. The short version: get the right size, prep the car properly, and pick the spot that matches your budget and how long your car will sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Size Storage Unit Do You Need for a Car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most cars<\/strong><\/a> can fit in a 10×20<\/strong> storage unit, but here’s a fuller picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
10×15 (150 sq ft):<\/strong> This fits subcompact and compact cars. These average 14–15 feet<\/a>. But there’s not much room to walk around your car once it’s parked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
10×20 (200 sq ft):<\/strong> Most people pick this for a car. It’s about the size of a one-car garage, so there’s room to spare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
10×25 (250 sq ft):<\/strong> This size is better for larger SUVs, extended-cab trucks, or smaller cars stored alongside other belongings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
10×30 (300 sq ft):<\/strong> You’ll need this for full-size trucks, cargo vans, or lots of extra storage space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nBefore you commit to a size, measure<\/a> your car’s length, width, and height, and remember to factor in the side mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Height is the spec you should remember to ask about. Storage unit doors are around 7 feet 8 inches<\/a> high, which works for most cars and SUVs. But a lifted truck or a van with a roof rack might not clear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
