A 10x15 storage unit is 150 square feet — 10 feet wide by 15 feet deep. With an 8-foot ceiling that's 1,200 cubic feet. Think of a large bedroom, or about three-quarters of a one-car garage. It's the in-between size: more than a one-bedroom apartment needs, a little less than a full house.

Can you fit a car in a 10x15 storage unit?

Only a small one. A Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Honda Fit, or similar subcompact (roughly 12 to 14 feet long) can fit, with a foot or two to spare. You won't have much room to open the doors or walk around it, and most sedans, SUVs, and pickups are simply too long.

Before you rent, measure your car bumper to bumper and add at least 1 foot. If the total is over 15 feet, look at a 10x20. The full breakdown by vehicle type is in what size storage unit you need for a car.
