Car storage units in Mount Prospect, 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.

I highly recommend this facility. My father and I went there to look at storage space I already had set up to rent out the following week and the man working -his name was Nic, was extremely helpful. He showed us to my storage space, explained how it works getting in and out of the building, etc. He was very efficient. In addition, this facility was extremely well kept and we left feeling we made a good choice on the storage facility. I highly recommend Public Storage on Central Road in Mt. Prospect. And thanks again Nic for the help.
