If you plan on keeping some additional boxes in your car storage unit, keep in mind that you have enough space when thinking about the dimensions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following dimensions can help you determine what car storage unit space is right for you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>10\u2019 x 20\u2019 \u2014<\/strong> Sedan, motorcycles, and other recreational vehicles&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>10\u2019 x 25\u2019 \u2014<\/strong> Sedans, small SUVs, and pickup trucks&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>10\u2019 x 30\u2019 \u2014<\/strong> RVs, boats, large pickup trucks, SUVs, and cargo vans&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car Storage Types Available&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Outdoor car storage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Covered outdoor car storage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indoor car storage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to decide which one fits your needs and budget. Indoor car storage is the most expensive option, but your vehicle won\u2019t have to deal with the outdoor elements. You also might get a climate-controlled unit as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An outdoor car storage space leaves your car vulnerable to the elements, but you can purchase a car cover to avoid it from being fully exposed. This option will be the least expensive option for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The covered outdoor car storage unit will be priced somewhere in between the other two options. They\u2019ll typically have a canopy for your car, but because that\u2019ll only provide partial protection, you still may consider buying a car cover to avoid the rest of the elements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation Tips for Storing a Car&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019d be nice to rent a storage unit for your car and then drive it into your unit, that\u2019s not the best idea for you or your vehicle. While you might have a place to store a car, you\u2019ll need to complete some or all these steps depending on your situation prior to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Tips\/Storage\/How-To-Store-A-Car-IN-Self-Storage-20835\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">putting your car into storage<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Deep cleaning<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want your interior and exterior nearly spotless. If you leave dirt, grime, and crumbs, it could lead to pests getting into your car and rust could damage the outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Freshly charged battery<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure you get your car battery checked before storing a car. A new battery or a freshly charged battery will go a long way in making sure you don\u2019t have any trouble later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Use a battery maintainer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t plan on having anyone checking on your car, you may consider purchasing a battery maintainer. A battery maintainer will make sure your car\u2019s battery stays at a certain level, and the recommended level for your vehicle depends on your car\u2019s specifications and battery type.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on having someone check on your vehicle, you might not need a battery maintainer because they can start the car every two weeks and drive it for about 15 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Full tank of gas<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid any corrosion, you\u2019ll want to make sure your car\u2019s tank is full before putting it into car storage. A full tank of gas will help you out tremendously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Fuel stabilizer<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A fuel stabilizer is a great way to protect that brand new tank of fuel into your car. A fuel stabilizer makes sure your fuel doesn\u2019t evaporate or ruin your carburetor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Change your oil<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get your oil changed as well, especially if it won\u2019t be used for several months. If you tell your technician that you plan on storing your car, they\u2019ll know what to do to prepare your vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Protect tires with Jacks<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cars that stay still for long periods of time can cause tires to create flat spots because of the weight. Nobody wants flat or unusable tires. You should take the time to use jack stands to raise your vehicle to protect your tires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Car-storage-3.jpg\" alt=\"A woman begins to plug into an electrical outlet for her RV in the car storage area.\" class=\"wp-image-4315\" width=\"476\" height=\"267\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Adequate car insurance<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may not be using it and it\u2019d be great to save a couple hundred dollars, you\u2019ll still need car insurance. U-Haul and other storage places require car insurance. Plus, if you or anyone else drives it on the road, it\u2019ll need insurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Protect Engine cylinders<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You might want to protect your engine cylinders by removing the spark plugs, spraying some oil into the cylinders, and then replacing the plugs. A mechanic can quickly get this done for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Wrap wiper blades<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiper blades that are in the same places for long periods of time can get stuck to your windshield. You can use plastic wrap on each blade to prevent sticky residue. You also can pull the wiper blades out and away from the windshield, or you can remove the blades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"11\">\n<li><strong>Plug the exhaust outlet<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid pesky critters getting into your car, you should cover your exhaust outlet. You can use aluminum foil or a rag. Just make sure you take it out before starting your vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"12\">\n<li><strong>Cover vents<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need your car vents open inside your vehicle while it\u2019s resting in your car storage. It\u2019s another way you\u2019ll prevent pests getting into your car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"13\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t use your parking brakes<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should put your car in the brake position when you\u2019re not using it, it\u2019s not a good idea to do it while the vehicle is in storage. If the parking brake is used for a long time, the breaking surface could fuse with the wheel to become stuck in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"14\">\n<li><strong>Park on a tarp<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you park on a tarp, it\u2019ll protect the floor in the off chance your vehicle leaks fluids. This is more likely when it comes to non-climate control units.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"15\">\n<li><strong>Use a car cover&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless your car is in an indoor car storage unit, you should use a car cover. A cover will protect your vehicle from all the weather elements along with pests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Moving Help\u00ae for Storage Units&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might not have many boxes or any boxes to move when using a car storage unit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/\">Moving Help<\/a> can still be there for you.
