Car storage units in Pelham, AL, and nearby areas

Q: What size storage unit is best for a car?

A 10’&#215;20’ unit is the go-to size for most standard cars. Compact cars? You might only need a 10’&#215;15’. Trucks, vans, or larger SUVs? A 10’&#215;30’ will give you the extra space you need.

Q: Can two cars fit in a 10&#215;30 storage unit?

Yes – in most cases! A 10’&#215;30’ unit is about the size of a standard two-car garage, so you can usually fit two compact vehicles side by side.

Awesome experience renting a 15 foot box truck from Allen at the pelham location! These guys answered all of my questions and helped show me how to use the truck. This was my first rental and I will be a Metro customer for life. The truck we got was also brand new so that was nice! Give these guys your business. A lot of honest good work around here.
