Car storage units in Gastonia, NC, 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 rented out a unit at this establishment for almost a year. From the time we got our unit to moving out, the transition was super smooth! I do want to commend this particular place on New Hope for their outstanding customer service. If I had a question about anything, they were super helpful and very friendly! We had a small hiccup on renting their truck which had an oil leak but they were right on it and got us a truck at their sister location on franklin (Which I highly DO NOT recommend that particular location, due to unsatisfactory customer service, please see that review on their page). Highly recommend this storage place on New Hope and will use them for any future storage needs I may have, thank you!!!
