[Misc] Storing a car

WATFORD zero · Oct 15, 2024

Someone I know has a need to store a car for possibly up to a year or two (long story). It can be stored outside and the condition of the car doesn't matter.

They have been quoted £200 a month. Anyone know anywhere cheaper ?

Thanks in anticipation :thumbsup:

Does location matter? They could store it at mine (SW Herts) for less than £200/month!

The Brighton/Sussex would better but thanks for the offer

What does that mean exactly? They don't mind if it has no wheels or seats when they come back?

Depending on what it is, I may be able to offer you something in mid-sussex

Interesting, do you offer reasonably priced indoor storage? If so I may be interested for a few months too :smile:

Try here . . .or any farm

even an open sided barn must be better than just outside . . . . . If its not scrap already it soon will be . . . . I've never understood the logic of storing stuff outside and not doing anything. . . .they only go one way

Service road behind my house …they could park it so i could see it from a bedroom window….£199 a month be ok?….oh hold on special discount as its you £198 per month

Can one use the car now again to keep it ‘ticking over’……how much they expecting to pay for say Shoreham

£200 pm? Christ. I store my caravan when not using it in a Gold award (for insurance purposes) storage site with CCTV, high fences, fob access only etc for £30 pm.

There are some advantages to not living in the South East!

No idea if it’s a suitable option but I’d be able to get them a bit of money off a fitted car cover if that helps.

Admittedly that’s not much help if he hasn’t got a physical place to store it admittedly. Although it would probably help keep it in decent nick for when he wants it back.

Does one want to drive incognito as Jeeves is visiting family

If they behave they could get let out sooner?

I used this firm - based near Firle - a few years ago.

Car storage - classic, prestige and sports - Motorline, Firle, East Sussex

Car storage is not always practical at home. We can keep cars safe and secure from the elements and opportunistic car thieves.

I can’t remember the specific fees, but they weren’t outrageous.

Would you take… £195?

just leave it in an NCP in town - then say you have lost the ticket - pay the 24hr fee job done

there is a car in gatwick short stay that has been there for at least 3-4 years
