What Size of Vehicle Storage do I Need?

Every vehicle is unique, and the amount of storage space you require will depend on what you’re looking to store. Here’s a quick breakdown of the types of vehicles we accommodate and the typical unit sizes required:

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are compact and fit easily into a standard 5x10 storage unit. This size provides enough room for the bike along with accessories like helmets, gear, and covers.

Cars

Sedans, hatchbacks, and smaller cars are best suited for a 10x20 unit. This gives your vehicle enough room while protecting it from dust, dirt, and any weather-related issues. Want more specific information on storing cars? Check out dedicated article.

Trucks and SUVs

Larger vehicles, including trucks and full-size SUVs, might require a 10x30 unit. This size ensures there’s space to comfortably store your vehicle without feeling cramped.

RVs, Motorhomes, Campers, and Trailers

Larger recreational vehicles, such as RVs, motorhomes, campers, and trailers, typically need extra spacious storage accommodations. At Ankeny Mini Storage, indoor storage for these vehicles ensures they are protected from harsh weather and potential exterior damage. We have 10x35 units with 2 roll-up doors, which you can drive thru. Indoor storage helps maintain these vehicles’ longevity by safeguarding them from wear and tear, making it perfect for seasonal or long-term storage.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Storage

Proper preparation is key to keeping your vehicle in excellent condition while it’s in storage. Here’s how to get ready:

  1. Wash and Wax the Exterior: Cleaning the exterior helps protect the paint from dirt and dust buildup. Waxing adds an extra layer of protection.
  2. Change the Oil: Dirty oil can cause corrosion if left sitting for an extended period.
  3. Fill the Gas Tank and Add Stabilizer: Avoid moisture buildup in the tank and keep the fuel stable during storage.
  4. Check Tire Pressure: Inflated tires prevent flat spots. Ensure they’re set to the recommended PSI level.
  5. Disconnect the Battery: This helps prevent draining, especially for long-term storage.
  6. Cover Your Vehicle: Even in an indoor unit, a high-quality cover adds an additional layer of protection against dust.

By taking these simple steps, you’ll ensure your vehicle is ready to hit the road when you need it again.
