Frequently Asked Questions
What size storage unit is best for a car?
A 10’×20’ unit is the go-to size for most standard cars. Compact cars? You might only need a 10’×15’. Trucks, vans, or larger SUVs? A 10’×30’ will give you the extra space you need.
Can two cars fit in a 10×30 storage unit?
Yes – in most cases! A 10’×30’ unit is about the size of a standard two-car garage, so you can usually fit two compact vehicles side by side.
Can I store a classic car in a storage unit in Altoona, IA?
Absolutely. For a classic, luxury, or collector car, your best bet is a climate-controlled indoor unit. This keeps temperature and humidity stable, helping preserve your vehicle’s finish and components.
