If you are looking to increase rentals on your Don Mills storage units and want to have a quick and easy way to do that, you should consider offering vehicle storage. Car storage is very popular in Ontario and you can capture a share of that market very simply. There are probably Don Mills storage units that you have that you could very easily turn into car storage units. The size for car storage units is usually the same as what units can hold a two bedroom house.

A ten by twenty space is perfect for car storage. It is about the size of a one car garage and can hold most sizes of cars and trucks. Smaller cars can even fit into Don Mills storage units that are ten by fifteen. This would have to be a pretty small space, though. Be careful when recommending a ten by fifteen to callers because there are not that many cars that can fit into the space.

There are basically two types of car storage. There are the outside spaces that customers in Ontario can just park their cars in. Since they are outside, they will be exposed to the weather so this may not be the best option for some callers. The major benefit of an outside parking space is that it is a lot cheaper and customers will be able to store their vehicles at a greatly reduced cost.

The Don Mills storage units that will protect cars the best are the inside spaces. They are just storage units that people can put their cars in. This will offer the best protection from the elements, but will cost more than an outside space. Make sure to build the door heights high enough so customers can easily get their vehicles in and out. The best way to ensure that customers can fit their vehicles in is to build units with a ten foot ceiling instead of the normal eight foot ones.

There are few stipulations that you will want to have when you are using Don Mills storage units to store cars in. The car needs to be in running condition in order for it to be stored. The main reason for this is so people do not just bring in junk cars and then leave them there. This will cost you money since you will need to tow vehicles off your property and will make your site look like a junkyard. You want to maintain a professional image as a company and junky cars can ruin your company image.

The car will need to be titled and insured. This is more of a legal issue as opposed to just a personal preference. This will help you avoid storing stolen cars. This is not a good business to get into. The car will need to have minimal gas in the gas tank. This is necessary because a full tank of gas will be a fire hazard and it will make the unit smell like gasoline. It is hard to get that smell out of the units once it is there. Another thing that you will want to do is offer storage for boats and RVs. This could be a good money maker that will bring in a lot of extra revenue.
