Car storage units in Lake Zurich, IL, 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.

We have rented from Cube Smart for two different moves in the climate controlled section. First, I want to commend Cube Smart for getting new lighted bars to eliminate moving trucks damaging doors. This is SO much improved and there should be no more problems with people misjudging the height on their trucks before the automatic doors go up fully. Kudos to Herb and Andy for being so kind and gracious through each move process.

They (Butterfield location)called quickly after I reserved online and made the rest of the process very quick and easy. I had a good experience. I move a lot for work, and so far, extra space storage has been consistent and reliable everywhere I've gone.
