Do You Store Cars, Motorcycles, Boats or Other Types of Vehicles?We do not store cars or boats on our property. We do store motorcycles, rideable lawnmowers, ATVs, scooters and E-bikes. We recommend coming down to see the facility and the unit to make sure it will fit inside. We do also ask that you drain the gas from the vehicle to avoid any leaking in the units. (For vehicle storage, you must provide proof of ownership, and the party signing the lease must be the owner of the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be insured through your own provider, as we do not offer any coverage on vehicles.)
