Student Storage FAQs

Most compact cars, like a Honda Civic or Mazda 3, offer dimensions of roughly 10-14 ft by 6 - 5 ft

Compact cars will usually fit in a 15x10 storage unit.

 

Most mid-sized cars, like a Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu, Dodge Challenger and most other muscle cars measure roughly, 14 - 16 feet in length by 6 ft in width.

Mid-sized cars will fit in a 20x10 storage unit. 

 

Full sized vehicles like SUVs and trucks tend to measure between 16-18 feet by 6 feet.

Full sized vehicles would be ideal for 30x10 storage units or even outdoor spaces.

 

Typically, you should overestimate how much space you need. Call our vehicle storage experts to determine what size is best to fit your car.

No, on average a car is roughly 15 feet. Therefore we recommend a storage unit that is at least 20 feet long and 10 feet wide.  

If you are unsure, measure the length and width of your car and one of our auto storage experts can help you find the right space.
