Should you own classic cars or have more than you can keep at your home, then getting a storage unit is a must. Ground level storage keeps your car safe and protected. You won’t have to worry about weather or potential thieves. When you put your car in a storage unit, it will be safe from both hazards.

Ground Level Storage for Car Storage Options

When it comes to placing your car at a storage unit, you often have a few different options to choose from. Knowing which one will work for you depends on your particular situation and budget. Here are your choices:

Indoor Car Storage

These storage units are basically just like your garage. They are enclosed and have a door that you can lock. If you have a classic or expensive car that you don’t want sitting on your driveway or on the street, then you should consider getting indoor car storage.

This unit can also keep your vehicle protected from the elements and other hazards. There are many different sizes of ground level storage units available. You should be able to find one that can hold a compact car or a truck. It doesn’t matter what type of vehicle you need to store, there’s a unit that can accommodate it.

Box-n-Go Storage & Moving – as Easy as 1-2-3

We Pick Up

We Store/Move

Store on your driveway or inside our secure facility. Load/unload only once. Ground level access.

Getting a ground level storage unit is also beneficial because you can easily drive your vehicle into the space. These units give you the ability to store your auto for a short amount of time or for longer. Whenever you are ready to take your vehicle out of storage, you can accomplish that task easily with the right storage unit.

Ground Level Storage – Covered Car Storage

With this type of storage, there will be a roof that protects your car from the sun and other weather conditions, including rain and hail. Even though this storage option has a cover, there aren’t any sides. Thus, it’s possible your vehicle could be exposed to wind and variable temperatures. If you live in an area that has a temperate climate, this can be a more affordable way to store your car. It’s also incredibly easy to access your vehicle when you need it and take it out for a spin.

Outdoor Car Storage

This is the most affordable storage option when it comes to your vehicle. Benefits to outdoor storage include that your car will be placed in a locked facility. This controls who has access to it. This option keeps it safer than keeping it on the street or in your driveway. The downside to this option is that your auto won’t be protected from the weather, unless you decide to put a cover over it.

Box-n-Go is a mobile storage company. Unlike traditional storage companies, we deliver storage units to the customer. We leave them with the customer for a few days so they can pack at their convenience, and once they’re done, we come back, pick up the units, and store them at our secure, centrally located warehouse. Once in the warehouse, your belongings are accessible to you seven days a week. Access is free — all you need to do is give us a call, and we’ll move your units to the access area, where you can drive right up to them and do whatever you need to do.

Customer: I was doing extensive research online. After I read customer reviews, I checked out the rates, which were very competitive — in many cases better than anyone else out there. I placed my order online, and within 48 hours my containers were delivered to me. I was honestly surprised how much stuff fit into the container. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I honestly would recommend it to anybody.

Box-n-Go is a very customer-oriented company. We do everything possible to make sure customer needs are met. We know moving and storage can be a very difficult process — a very difficult part of a customer’s life — so we try to accommodate customer needs as best we can, to make the process as easy as possible. So give us a call or visit us online at boxngo.com.

Finding the Right Vehicle Storage Option

When it comes to finding the right storage unit, one of the things you’ll need to consider is how long you plan on storing your vehicle. Many storage places give you short-term and long-term storage options. How much you have to spend will also determine the type of auto storage you can get for your car. Some of the storage options include the following:

Winter Storage

If you own a classic car, then you may put it away during the winter months to keep it pristine. A storage unit is a good option, as placing it in ground level storage is a great way to keep it protected. Using an indoor storage unit is the best option, as this will ensure your vehicle isn’t exposed to extremes in temperature or other damaging weather conditions.

Ground Level Storage for Military Deployment

Should you find yourself heading overseas for military service, then placing your vehicle in long-term storage is beneficial. Again, placing it in an indoor unit will keep it safe and protected until you come home.

Life Transition

Life comes with a lot of changes, and if you find yourself in the middle of one of these, you may need some short-term storage for your car. This can be especially beneficial if you are moving within the same town. You have the option of getting indoor, outdoor or covered storage for your car. The right option will depend on your budget and whether you want the vehicle protected from the weather.

With any storage facility, my concerns are, number one, safety and theft of my items — how well are they going to be cared for? Are they going to be damaged, shaken around, especially in a pod? Then also ease of access — it’s not like a roll-up-door storage locker where you can just go and get in; it has to be brought out. And I thought, boy, all that moving around, it’s going to be a wreck. And cost, and so on. And then, working with the people there — how easy is that going to be?

I was very pleased with the service. When I first packed up, I didn’t order enough pods, and here I am in the middle of moving, on a deadline — I have to fly out across the Pacific, so it’s not like I can wait around. I needed more pods. They delivered me more pods on the spot, and I packed them up.

Over the years — and I’ve been here quite a few years, because I moved from the mainland to Hawaii, and now from Hawaii to Panama — I’ve had these storage lockers for years. I went from four to three, three to two, and now two to one. Every time I’ve had to come here or contact them, they’re Johnny-on-the-spot, so accommodating. When I call in to make my payments, I almost feel like I work here now, because I know everybody so well. They’re very understanding and easy to work with.

I’ve had other storage lockers — this is the best experience I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve been here so long. My kids are already saying they’re going to use Box-n-Go when they move. You don’t think your stuff’s going to be in storage that long, but it is. And with all the ins and outs of the pods, nothing has ever been damaged. Not one thing. So I’m very pleased. Very pleased.

If you’re going to be out of state, your stuff’s secure, it’s taken care of, it’s not deteriorating. We had a leather saddle in there for years — I said to my husband, it’s going to be full of mold, even your shoes get moldy when they’re locked up. We took it out — it’s perfect. It’s temperature controlled, all of it. I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely recommend them. I have recommended them.

This was the first time I was renting storage. My first concerns were: where was the storage place, and was it safe? I’m putting all my valuables and keepsakes — things that are really important to me — so it was really important that they felt safe, that the company was a real company I trusted. Also the cost — how much was it going to be? I didn’t want to have to worry, while I’m out traveling, about being hit with all these fees on top of it, or weird things. So those were the main concerns.

What surprised me the most — there are so many things I could say, but I guess just how easy it was. I had no idea. The whole process was very easy. When I moved everything, the box came to me, I put everything in there — it was just so simple and affordable. And then even getting into my storage: because I decided to keep traveling a little bit longer, it was super easy just to drop in, take stuff out or put some in. It was just so easy. And I felt very safe. So it totally blew my expectations of what I thought storage would be, because it’s just been very pleasant.

I recommend them all the time to many people — mostly because I feel safe, I feel like my storage is in a safe place, and just because of how easy and affordable this whole process has been.

When I first called Box-n-Go, I spoke to Frank, and he was very thorough with the information I needed — sizes, prices and rates, the contract based on the number of months, any specials. I thought, wow, he’s giving me everything; I’m not really having to ask. I liked that a lot — the information was provided up front. I told him I’d take everything, look through it, do some research, and come back to him. But I pretty much knew everything he’d said made sense, and I felt really comfortable with him. He was oriented toward good customer service, just on point. I had nothing in my mind that said I wanted to look any further.

I did some searches and Box-n-Go came up. I’d talked to some other people before, but when I got to Box-n-Go I was just like, “You know what? I’ve made my decision.” I had no hesitation about going with anyone else.

The container came to my home, and it was exactly the size I thought it was — no surprises, no “this is too big, this is too small.” I put everything in it, it got picked up, everything was on schedule, exactly as Frank had said. I was definitely pleased.

I really liked working with Frank. He was my point person the whole time I had my storage. I’d call him, he remembered me, and he made every attempt to be on point with everything. When I’d come to the storage facility to check on things — take some out, put some in — he was always there, friendly. And there were the two Stans; customer service was great, the warehouse guys were great. Everyone was friendly, no one was rude, no one was lost or disappeared. They helped me move stuff in, they helped me move stuff out. It was great — even though I was taking my stuff out of storage.

I would recommend them to everyone. So kudos to Frank, the two Stans, the warehouse guys, and Box-n-Go in general.

Business Vehicles

Finding a place to park your business vehicle at the end of the day could be a challenge.

However, if you need more protection for the vehicle, then you always have the option of getting indoor storage or covered storage. Since it’s your business vehicle and money, you get to decide the best way to take care of your stuff.
