Why Greenville Drivers Choose Self Storage for Vehicles

Shelter From Sun, Rain, and Storm Debris

Eastern North Carolina weather keeps vehicles busy with heat, pop-up storms, and a long tropical season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and a vehicle that sits at home for months faces all of that, plus pollen and falling debris.

A roof between your vehicle and direct exposure to that weather can make a huge difference. The preferred spot to store a car is indoors in a cool, dark, and dry place. When that is not possible, we always recommend a quality cover that lets the vehicle breathe instead of trapping moisture. A covered parking space gives you a roof without needing a garage of your own.

More Room at Home for Daily Life

Limited parking space at home is the other main reason vehicle owners seek storage off their properties. Campers, boats, and trailers take up a lot of room. Moving them to a nearby secure lot clears your yard and keeps your driveway open for daily life. Moving a trailer or boat off your property frees space for projects, a garden, or guests.

Covered vs. Outdoor Vehicle Parking at iLock Storage

iLock Storage in Greenville offers two parking types. We provide our tenants with a wide selection of self storage options, so they can find the one fits their vehicle, budget, and plans.

Both types of parking options are large enough to take on storing different sized cars, trucks, trailers, boats, and RVs.

iLock Storage offers 12×40 covered spaces for large RVs, boats, trailers, and other vehicles. The roof protects your vehicle from exposure to sun and rain, and when paired with an additional cover, you have solid damage prevention against any unpredictable weather. and the lights help when you stop by in the evening.

Covered spaces also have electrical outlets. Ask the office about outlet rules before you plug in.

Outdoor Parking Spaces

Outdoor parking is open-air space on the same property, behind the same monitored gate. It suits vehicles that can handle the weather for a shorter stay. It also benefits owners whose budget’s prefer a lower price, since covered storage is usually the premium vehicle parking option in Greenville. Make sure to always use a fitted cover that allows your vehicle to breathe.

How to Pick Between the Two Types of Vehicle Storage

Ask yourself these questions. How long will the vehicle sit? Is is specialized, valuable, or especially sentimental? How much weather can it take?

A classic car, a newer camper, or a boat that rests all winter points toward covered parking. A work truck or a trailer you will use often or pull out of storage in a two or three months can do fine outside. If you are unsure which fit is best for you, contact our experts in our office with any storage questions.

What to Look for When You Compare Vehicle Storage

Here are four to run through before you reserve a parking space.

1. Size: Measure Before You Reserve

Leave extra room to open doors, extend slide-outs, and walk around. Compare your numbers with the available vehicle storage sizes at iLock Storage.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Storage

A little prep helps a vehicle rest well. Check your owner’s manual first, since boats and RVs have extra steps. Then use this list as a starting point.

Wash and dry it. Dirt and moisture can wear on paint. Let the vehicle dry fully before you cover it.
Fill the tank and add stabilizer. AAA suggests a fuel stabilizer for gas that will sit, followed by a short drive to mix it through.
Keep the battery charged. Use a battery maintainer, or disconnect the battery if you have no outlet.
Check the tires. AAA says extra air pressure can help prevent flat spots. Follow the numbers in your owner’s manual.
Use a cover that breathes. A tight plastic tarp can hold moisture against the paint.
Keep pests out. Remove food and wrappers, and ask your mechanic how to block openings safely.
Take photos and confirm coverage. Both steps make life easier if a question comes up later.

Visit about once a month if you can. Look at the cover, check the tires, and give the battery a glance. Small problems in stored vehicles are easier to fix when you catch them early.
