Many self storage facilities offer storage for various types of vehicles along with the typical storage units. The types of vehicles that are allowed to be stored may range in size from jet skis to large boats and motor homes, depending on the amount of space the facility has set aside for this type of storage.

The manager of the self storage facility should be contacted to be sure that the facility can accommodate the vehicle that needs to be stored and to get information about any rules that may be in place for the storage of vehicles. One standard self storage rule for vehicles is that the vehicle must be operable and have current insurance and tags if they are needed for that type of vehicle. Another rule that is standard is that no one is allowed to take up residence in any type of stored vehicle and no pets can be kept in the vehicle while it is parked on the grounds of the storage facility. There may also be rules as to how the customer can bring certain vehicles onto the grounds. For example, a large motor home may not be able to maneuver between the buildings from the front gate to the assigned storage space and may need to be driven through a back gate closer to the storage parking area.
