Gloucester City Storage stores cars, trucks, motorcycles and small boats in enclosed, drive-up units. Most vehicles go in a 10 × 20, about the size of a one-car garage, for $224 a month plus tax, locked for 12 months. Call or text (215) 888-0468 with your make and model to confirm the fit.
What vehicles can I store?
- A second car or a seasonal convertible
- Classic and project cars
- Pickups and SUVs (check the size with us first)
- Motorcycles, scooters and dirt bikes
- Small boats on trailers, jet skis and kayaks
Why an enclosed unit beats parking outside
A car parked on the street or in a driveway takes the weather year-round: sun on the paint, snow and salt in winter, pollen and tree sap in spring. In a unit, it sits behind a steel door that you lock yourself, inside a lot that’s gated, fenced and lit at night.
It also frees up the driveway or a street spot at home, which counts for a lot on a tight Gloucester City block.
Will my vehicle fit?
StorageCafe describes a 10 × 20 unit as “the same size as the classic one-car garage,” and most cars fit. Vehicles and door openings vary, so we check before you commit. Text (215) 888-0468 with:
- The year, make and model of the vehicle
- For a boat, its length on the trailer from the tongue to the stern, and its height on the trailer
A motorcycle with gear can often fit in our 17 × 10 at $199 a month. Compare sizes.
How to prepare a car for storage
- Clean it inside and out. Dirt, bird droppings and crumbs do more damage the longer they sit.
- Fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer, then drive a few miles so it circulates.
- Change the oil if it’s due. Old oil holds contaminants.
- Inflate the tires to the pressure on the door sticker to help prevent flat spots.
- Disconnect the battery for longer storage so it doesn’t drain.
- Use a breathable car cover rather than a plastic tarp.
How to prepare a boat for storage
- Winterize the engine according to the manufacturer’s instructions before cold weather.
- Drain water from the bilge, livewells and lines.
- Clean and dry the hull and interior to head off mildew.
- Take electronics and cushions home if you’ll be gone a long time.
