How Much Is a Storage Unit for a Car?

If you’re collecting, selling, or storing multiple cars, you may be asking: how much is a storage unit for a car? The answer depends on three things—your vehicle size, how many vehicles you’re storing, and the level of features you need (like power, security, or drive-thru access). Let’s walk through what to expect when pricing car storage units, especially if you need something bigger than a standard 10x20 unit.

Average Car Storage Unit Sizes

Most vehicles can fit in a 10x20 or 10x25 unit, but for collectors or resellers, those sizes won’t cut it. Larger vehicles like trucks, RVs, trailers, and high-end collections require extra clearance, depth, and accessibility.

At facilities like Elite RV and Storage, we offer oversized units ranging from 30 feet to over 100 feet in length, all with tall roll-up doors, man doors, and extra width for maneuvering. These are ideal for:

  • Classic or collector cars that aren’t driven daily
  • High-value exotic vehicles that need secure indoor storage
  • Business inventory or dealership overflow
  • Multi-vehicle setups with tools, trailers, or parts

Some of the most common large car storage unit sizes include:

  • 30 x 20 (600 sq ft): Fits one large vehicle with room for tools, jacks, and walkaround access.
  • 45 x 20 (900 sq ft): Great for two smaller cars, or one vehicle plus shelving and workspace.
  • 65 x 20 (1,300 sq ft): Ideal for storing three to four cars side-by-side or staggered.
  • 98 x 20 (1,960 sq ft): Useful for business fleet storage, luxury collections, or trailer + car pairings.
  • 116 x 20 (2,320+ sq ft): A warehouse-style unit suitable for multiple collector cars, indoor detail space, or a long-term dealership extension.

What Impacts the Cost of Car Storage?

The cost of a car storage unit will vary depending on location, amenities, and unit size. However, when you move into collector-level square footage, prices generally increase due to additional security, accessibility, and demand. Here’s what can affect your rate:

  • Square footage: Larger units naturally cost more per month, but often offer better value per square foot.
  • Drive-thru or dual-door access: Units with front and rear roll-up doors are ideal for easy loading and unloading—especially if you rotate vehicles often.
  • Power access: Many collectors prefer storage units with power for battery maintainers, lights, or detail work.
  • Climate features: Insulated ceilings and walls help protect against extreme temperature swings, even if the unit isn’t fully climate controlled.

How Many Cars Can I Fit in a Storage Unit?

Here’s a rough estimate for how many standard-sized vehicles fit into different unit sizes:

  • 30 ft long: One car + accessories
  • 50 ft long: Two cars or a car and trailer
  • 70–75 ft long: Three smaller cars or two large vehicles
  • 98–100 ft long: Three to four cars with extra room for ramps, jacks, or cleaning space
  • 116 ft long: Up to five cars or full business inventory

Can You Store Multiple Cars in a Storage Unit?

Absolutely—especially when you’re renting an oversized unit. In fact, many resellers and car enthusiasts choose large units so they can:

  • Keep all vehicles in one secured place
  • Organize tools, parts, and detailing supplies
  • Maintain privacy for private collections
  • Avoid HOA restrictions on parking multiple cars
