Many people today enjoy collecting cars.  From the amateur car hobbyist to the serious vintage automobile collector, they all have similar storing needs for their collections.   Though the size of the need may differ there are still many parallels found in both situations.  Storing cars takes space.  With most modern homes being built with two to three car garages this means even the smallest auto enthusiast mat need more garage space than that provided by their residence.  The Calgary car storage companies provide many options for storing automobiles.  A person can rent a standard drive up garage type unit to park their vehicle.  Or they may need the space and amenities offered by a drive up temperature controlled warehouse storage unit.

Depending on the value, sentimental and monetary, a car owner may or may not want to pay the extra money required to rent a temperature controlled garage unit from one of the storage companies .  If a person is simple looking to store an extra commuter car for a short period of time, they would save money by simply keeping it parked in a standard drive up unit.  The size of the drive up unit required is usually going to be the ten feet wide by twenty feet deep unit.  This size should sound familiar to most car enthusiasts.  A ten feet by twenty feet size unit is the size of a standard one car garage. 

When storing valuable classic or exotic automobiles, with one of the The Calgary car storage companies , a collector should consider a temperature controlled drive up garage.  These temperature controlled garage units will keep irreplaceable original leather upholstery and tops from cracking, rotting, or other damage.  The need to winterize the vehicle is a non issue with the use of a unit with a controlled temperature.  Tire pressure and fluid levels can be maintained at a drivable level without the concern for extreme heat or cold weather conditions.  The price for storing in this environment is more than that of a standard garage unit, but much less than the cost of replacing original manufacturer upholstery and other car parts.  Many antique car parts cannot be obtained through regular supply channels and must be costumed manufactured.

For short term parking of commuter vehicles and business utility vehicles, many of the The Calgary car storage companies offer outside parking as a less costly alternative to inside parking.  Outside parking spaces may be covered or uncovered.  The parking may be on a paved lot or simple marked gravel lot.  The price for outside parking will be generally higher for a covered and paved parking spot versus an uncovered gravel spot.  Regardless of which you choose, it will be less than a garage sized drive up rental unit.  So if you do not need inside parking, take a look at outside parking as another option.

The rules for storing a vehicle at one of the The Calgary car storage companies are going to differ from company to company, but there are some basic rules that seem to be the same at most places.  The vehicles being stored must be licensed in the name of the renter and the registration must be current and valid.  Insurance must be carried for the stored auto and meet the minimum insurance requirements indicated in the rental contract.  The vehicle should be in running condition.  Most facilities will not allow towed vehicles to be stored in their units.  These rules may or may not be enforced at all facilities.
