Good self storage units make good neighbors. At least that is what many homeowner associations think as they frown upon vehicle storage in a driveway or on the street. It is not the vehicles purpose, whether it is for hobby, business, or investment, neighbors hate them for, rather it is their dominant presence that neighbors find so offensive. Sure, they may come over, lean on your boat with one hand while sharing their own fishing stories with you. They might even discuss engine size and the proper way to flush out the engine. But when they are sitting at home staring out the front window, they are wishing it was gone.
Boat storage, RV storage, motorcycle storage, and car storage are all types of vehicle storage. They are hobbies and investments, and the best way to protect them is to put them in vehicle storage at a self storage facility. Your neighbors love them too, but not next to their home. That is why homeowner associations get together to discuss the restrictions on
vehicle storage in the neighborhood. For the same reason you would not want your neighbor to get his mail in his birthday suit is the same reason why they do not want you to park your RV at your house. Both are found unbearable and unpleasing to the eyes. So, before you bring home your boat for the winter, think about vehicle storage at a self storage facility.
When you are shopping around for vehicle storage, keep in mind that pricing varies for many reasons. A self storage property manager does not quote vehicle storage prices based on how much his date cost him last night. Vehicle storage pricing is sort of like vacation package pricing. The more storage space you need the higher the price. It is just like the bigger hotel room you book, the more it is going to cost. Like a vacation, the date influences the cost of vehicle storage. Self storage like vacation resorts has its busy and slow times of the year. Expect to pay more when you are reserving a storage unit in the industrys peak season. If you book a hotel room with a Jacuzzi and ocean view, you will be lucky to have money left over for the mini bar. Comparing this to vehicle storage, the more options included with your vehicle storage the less money you will have in your pocket. Vehicle storage options include climate control and insurance. Unless you are camping, hopefully when you are going on vacation you are staying indoors. Vehicle storage has the option of indoor storage and outdoor storage.
Since we are on this vacation comparison lets continue using it to show why it is important to book both in advance. If you do not book a vacation in advance, not only will you pay the premium rates, there is a good chance a room with a view is unavailable. Though you can just show up to a self storage facility with your RV and get a vehicle storage space on demand, you might not get what you want out of vehicle storage. For instance, all the vehicle storage spaces with electric hookups and indoor garages might be all taken up. Call ahead so you can get what you want.
Be a good neighbor and rent a vehicle storage space from a self storage facility. Do not wait to be told, and just assume that your boat or RV is not welcome no matter how much your neighbors seem to admire it.
