How to Choose the Right Storage Option For Your Car
Look for somewhere to store your car?
There are four common types of car storage offered at self-storage facilities: Enclosed car storage, Indoor car Storage, Covered car storage, and car Parking Spaces. Each offers different perks and comes at different price points.
Enclosed car Storage is the safest and most secure means of storing your car. These are large self-storage units that essentially act as garages you can drive your car straight into, and are accessed via a large roll-up door. Enclosed units provide protection from winter weather and prevent any unwanted access to your car, but that protection comes at a price: you’ll pay more for these units than for other car storage options. You’ll also have to choose your size carefully, to make sure your car will fit. If you live in an area with harsh winter weather, an enclosed unit can save years of your car’s life.
With Indoor car storage, your car will be parked inside a large structure such as a warehouse with other vehicles. Indoor car storage provides the same protection from the elements as enclosed storage, but since your car will be in a shared space there will may be different access requirements. This is also typically one of the more expensive car storage options.
With Covered car storage, you’ll typically park your car under a standalone roof alongside other vehicles, though some covered units do have three walls separating your vehicle from the rest. Though you won’t get as much protection as from an enclosed unit or indoor, the roof structure will protect your car from the harshest elements, and you’ll pay less than an enclosed or indoor unit, too. When using Covered car storage, you’ll still want to make sure to properly winterize your car, and should consider using a cover.
A car Parking Space is exactly what it sounds like: an area for you to park your car. The parking area may be paved or on a variety of unpaved surfaces including gravel, dirt, or an open field on the storage facility’s grounds.
Though car Parking is typically much cheaper than enclosed units or covered spots, your vehicle will be directly exposed to the elements, so covering your car and winterizing are must do tasks to keep your car in top condition
You can use SpareFoot (www.sparefoot.com) to browse the car storage options near you and get an idea for the availability and price of different car storage types in your area. You can use SpareFoot’s filters to search for your chosen car storage type, then sort by price, distance, and review ratings.
Once you’ve found a place you want to store your car, you can use SpareFoot to reserve online in minutes for free. You do not need to pay until you get to the facility and drop off your car.

    they all say yes insure then it is a lie, second they say mant years of experience but only because the poor customer was unable to catch them in time, they fix price ans excellent service then it is double pay and the worst service with lots of damages incomplete job and lots and lots and lots of missing boxes plus never give receipts plus insults ... 4 moves at the end I had to rebuy even glasses to drink water, laptop and and and...... as I have to move again maybe I will ask police to control them and cameras in out around their truck and im the house ,,, not even the Bible and rosaries were saved, maybe because they were silver, crystal and antic... sorry to say I do not trust any now, plus none were real professionals though the pay was too high. disgusting.... I feel very sick, disappointed, sad, unable to replace what were stolen damaged.... etc.... i cried and cried got sick from depression and hated my life for having worked so hard to find myself cleaned off by criminals .... of course there will be some honest real professionals but where and how to find them. ..

      That is very disconcerting to me, it is very hard to trust a moving company that is a second chance company that hires three time losers simply because the turn around of employees are based on the need for a warm body to complete the job and bring the money to keep the company in the black.

      I like that idea very much, much quicker than boxes and because the bags are crushable they can be easily moved and placed where you want. Even better if they are clear so you can see through your items -- see what you packed and find it when you get where you're going. Naturally you would be putting your breakables into boxes and cushioning them well.

    Not everyone would miss them. Also, your video leaves out critical issues for California, like having to provide for their own defense, what would that cost? Also, how successful will they be when water rights are negotiated? Do you really think they US would let them to continue to draw from water sources within the US like they do now? Southern Cal would start losing pop when they start running out of water or Cal would have to start spending way more money and energy on desalination plants.
