Below, we’ll list the four most popular options you have for storing your car. We’ll cover a few of the biggest issues you need to take into consideration when looking for car storage, such as price and safety.
Airport Parking
If you’re taking a plane to leave your home, you may be tempted to use airport parking. After all, it is incredibly convenient, allowing you to drive home once you’ve come back.
However, this convenience comes at a cost. You’ll need to check with your airport, but the prices for parking there are usually much higher than they would be elsewhere. As well, security is a concern, since there are so many people walking through those garages.
Off-Airport Lot
Off-airport lots are typically much more affordable than the parking you’ll find at an airport, and you shouldn’t need to spend more than 15-20 minutes travelling to get your vehicle. That said, they still have a major problem that you’ll also face when using airport parking: security.
Your Home
If you’re not leaving your vehicle for a significant period of time, you may choose to simply leave your car at home. Even if you’re unable to find a friend or family member who’s free to drive you to the airport, a ridesharing service is oftentimes cheaper than paying for airport parking.
You shouldn’t leave your car outside for too long, so if you’re leaving for months at a time, you should have a garage. As well, you’d want to make sure there’s a loved one who’s able to regularly check on the car and perform any necessary maintenance.
Self-Storage Unit
If you’re going away for a week or two, you probably won’t need to put your vehicle in self-storage. However, if you’re a snow bird who wants to leave their vehicle down South for months at a time — or you have any other reason for needing long-term storage — a self-storage unit is the way to go.
There are a few reasons for this. The first is that good self-storage units are simply more secure than other units. Along with locks and security cameras, there are often people on-site who are looking out for the vehicles.
Their business model also involves people using their storage facilities for long periods of time, which means you should be able to get a good deal.
