The Car You Want to Keep, But Have Nowhere to Put

There's a problem nobody thinks much about until they actually have it.

You own more cars than you have garage spaces.

Maybe there's a vehicle you don't drive every day.

Maybe it's something you've owned for years and aren't interested in selling.

Or maybe the family simply ended up with one more vehicle than the house was designed for.

Whatever the reason, eventually you have to answer a very practical question:

Where are we going to put it?

Leaving a vehicle outside may work for some people, but anyone who has lived through a Wisconsin winter knows why having it under cover can be appealing.

Snow, ice, wind, and everything else Wisconsin throws at us isn't particularly gentle on vehicles.

Building another garage probably isn't the first solution most people are looking for either.

That's where a storage unit can be worth considering.

At Pack Away Storage, our drive-up units make moving larger items in and out straightforward, and that same access can make certain units practical for vehicle storage when the vehicle and unit are a proper fit.

Security matters too. Our facility has security cameras because we understand that customers may be trusting us with belongings that have significant financial or personal value.

We also work hard to keep our rates competitive.

If you're looking for somewhere to keep a vehicle for an extended period, cost matters. You're not just thinking about what you'll pay this month. You're thinking about what makes sense over six months, a year, or potentially longer.

Of course, storing a vehicle comes with some common-sense responsibilities.

The vehicle needs to follow our normal storage requirements, and the unit needs to be kept clean. Automotive fluids and concrete floors aren't exactly best friends, so any leaks or spills need to be addressed.

The important thing is to talk with us before assuming a particular vehicle will fit.

Tell us what you're hoping to store and we can discuss the available unit sizes and whether one makes sense for your situation.

Because sometimes the problem isn't having too many cars.

It's having too few garages.
