Storage Type
Parking Spaces
Rental parking spaces offer you an affordable vehicle storage solution for a variety of temporary and long-term storage needs. These spaces are located outdoors and uncovered, which provides accommodation for a wide range of vehicle types and dimensions, from small cars to larger RVs or even boats. Parking spaces are a practical option when you own a vehicle that typically would not fit into an enclosed storage unit due to their length or height.
It's important to note that due to their exposure to the outdoors, these spaces may not be the ideal choice for storing vintage or classic cars, which often require a greater level of protection from the elements. However, for general vehicle storage, rental parking spaces offer a budget-friendly solution for storing seasonal or secondary vehicles, or types that cannot be readily stored in private garages or on the street. To properly accommodate the diversity of vehicle storage needs, these spaces come in a range of both smaller and larger sizes.
Small Parking Spaces
Small parking spaces are a popular choice for making space in your driveway or garage. Here's a list of vehicles that our small parking spaces can accommodate along with their average sizes:
- Small Cars: Typically 12-15 feet (3.6-4.5 meters) long.
- Large Cars or Pickup Trucks: Generally around 18-20 feet (5.5-6.1 meters) long.
- Small Utility or Boat Trailers: Usually about 10-13 feet (3-4 meters) long.
- Campers such as Tent Trailers or Camper Vans: Often between 16-21 feet (4.9-6.4 meters) long.
- Small Boats or Jet-Ski with Trailer: Typically 14-19 feet (4.3-5.8 meters) long.
These parking spaces provide a secure and convenient solution, whether you use your vehicle seasonally or need a place to store it for an extended period of time. Whether you're looking to free up your driveway or garage, or simply need a safe spot for your camper or trailer when it's not in use, these outdoor parking spaces offer a practical choice.
Large Parking Spaces
For larger vehicles, we offer uncovered parking spaces located outdoors. While these spaces can be used to store smaller vehicles and trailers, they are in fact ideal for larger or taller vehicle types, including:
- Large Boats: Typically 20-30 feet (6.1-9.1 meters) long.
- Large RVs: Generally around 33-40 feet (10-12.2 meters) long.
- Boat Trailers: Usually about 22-28 feet (6.7-8.5 meters) long.
- Large Utility Trailers: Often between 14-18 feet (4.3-5.5 meters) long.
- Cargo or service vans
- Cube vans
These parking spaces provide a secure and convenient solution for your larger vehicles, especially if you need to store your vehicle for an extended period of time. Whether you're seeking a safe spot to park your RV or boat when it's not in use, or simply want to free up space in your driveway, these outdoor parking spaces offer a practical and accessible storage option.

Choosing the right mini-storage unit size is crucial to ensure your belongings are accommodated and protected. Consider the following questions to determine your specific needs:
- What items do I plan to store? Identify the nature and volume of items you intend to store. Take measurements of larger or bulkier items to gauge the space they will require.
- Will I need to access my items frequently? If regular access is necessary, opt for a unit that offers easy accessibility and consider smaller sizes for added convenience.

- How efficiently can I pack and stack my items? Make the most of vertical space and pack items compactly to optimize storage capacity.
- Do I anticipate needing more storage space in the future? If you foresee the need to store more items later on, choose a larger unit to cater for potential expansion.
