Vehicle Storage

[Guest imported_DaveZZZ]

Hi folks.

I am just curious how many of you have to pay for vehicle storage, what you pay and what you get.

If that's too personal, sorry- no offens meant. I'm just looking into some options, and wondering how prices go; climate controlled vs. non, what an adequate sized storage pen is, are these at specialty locations or just any old U-Store-It type place, etc.

Thanks

Dave

The factory I work for here in Southeastern Indiana has a warehouse, heated, and alarmed that we rent space for $60/month during the winter season. We only had a few takers, as the biggest problem was that they wanted you to leave your car and then arrange for any visit during regular buiseness hours. Keep this in mind when you choose a place as this will hamper you when you get the urge to show it off to someone, or you want to go tinker with it. Also this facility was offered with no liability insurance in case of fire, etc.

I pay $100.00 for the season for each vehicle in an unheated wood frame garage.

Season from November through May.

A few miles out of town (Canandaigua, NY).

In my area (which Peter Heizmann has been to), gets $45 a month in an unheated (but very clean) pole barn.

There is a 3 car garage around the corner from me that gets $100 a month per stall. I think I will sell my cars and rent mine out...

We are three guys who has rented this place:

Here's our garage in Finland:

Heated place for 1 car + not heated place for 1 car makes about 85 USD/month.

You can see not heated area here in the pic and heated area in the background(door open, place for 4 cars).

That is pretty neat seeing pictures of all of our iron over there. I guess that says something about our cars.

Speaking of storage, how many of you that have unheated garages with pre-1930 autos, jack the tires up off the ground for the winter? Or put plastic under the cars, on the concrete, as a vapor barrier? As for price, 75.00 seems to be the going rate for cars around here. Karl

Another option is free climate controlled storage and letting people enjoy the car.

Last winter I stored my 55 Bird inside the Technology Building at the Local University.

I went over and dusted it every week or two.

Free storage and everybody enjoyed looking at it.

I think I'll put a car in there next winter.

I also had a couple of bike in there last winter.

It was also a great way to advertise AACA like I did.

I have three extra spaces in my garage, no heat, all concrete, that I rent for $20.00 per month each.
