    Default Car storage options - Calgary and area

    I was curious to know if anyone has suggestions for affordable car storage options for up to a year. I initially was going to store at Specialty Auto Storage, but they currently don’t have any spots open.

    Looking for a place to store that is a reasonable price.

    Thanks. I presume that isn’t heated. .

    Has anyone gotten a recent quote for heated options? I’m just not sure if it’s wise to leave a car in an unheated space over the winter. As I’ll be away from 6 months to a year.

    I put my truck in at sprinbank sentinel storage. Was $200 for my own unit but wasn’t heated but was fine. There’s this one too and have communal heated at $19/ft. https://www.springbankselfstorage.com/car-truck-storage

    You're totally right. All cars need to stay in heated spaces all the time to prevent....something. Wait a second...

    Keeping them in heated spaces is a good way to encourage rust, so that's nice.

    Don't mind me, I'm trolling because I'm poor. Y'all know how to store nice cars better than me, since I've never done it.

    Look on kijiji or rentfaster for someone looking to rent out a private garage. I have spare garage space that I've rented out for storage for close to 10 years, but unfortunately no spots currently available.

    Yes, LoL. Just offering other options aside from the $40 monthly one.
