Whether you are preserving a classic car, storing an extra vehicle, or need winter car storage while traveling, Secure Storage offers flexible and secure car storage solutions across Oregon. Our vehicle storage options are designed to protect most cars from weather, sun damage, and security risks while keeping access convenient.

Depending on the location, we offer uncovered parking spaces, covered parking, and fully enclosed storage units that can accommodate a single vehicle or additional interior space for related items.


Vehicle Storage Options

Choosing the right vehicle storage depends on how long you plan to store your car and the level of protection you want. Uncovered outdoor parking is the most affordable option and works well for short-term needs or less sensitive vehicles. Covered parking spaces provide protection from rain and direct sunlight, helping reduce weather-related wear. For the highest level of protection, enclosed storage units keep vehicles inside a controlled environment and shield them from the elements.

Covered Outdoor Car Storage

Covered outdoor car storage offers a practical middle ground between uncovered parking spaces and fully enclosed storage units. These covered parking areas provide overhead protection from rain, snow, and direct sunlight while remaining more affordable than indoor options.

This type of vehicle storage helps reduce sun damage to paint and interiors and limits exposure to weather-related wear. Covered outdoor spaces are commonly used for most cars, trucks, and recreational vehicles when full climate control is not required. While the sides remain open, the added coverage offers meaningful protection from the elements and is a popular choice for seasonal or medium-term storage.

Enclosed Car Storage

Our enclosed storage units offer the ultimate solution for long-term or high-value vehicles. These units function like private garages and include concrete floors, steel walls, insulated ceilings, and full lighting.

Enclosed car storage maintains stable temperatures to help protect interiors, paint, and sensitive components. This type of storage is ideal for classic cars, luxury vehicles, and trucks that benefit from consistent conditions. Indoor storage is also commonly used for motorcycles, boats, RVs, and other recreational vehicles.

Security and Facility Access

Secure Storage facilities are designed with security in mind. All Secure Storage locations feature fenced lots, electronic gate access, and surveillance to help protect vehicles from theft and vandalism. Access is available during posted gate hours, allowing you to pull in and out of your unit when needed. Vehicle covers are recommended for uncovered parking spaces, especially for long-term storage.

  • Release the parking brake and slightly open a window

These steps help reduce wear and keep your vehicle in good condition while stored.
