Indoor Storage in Chicago
Much like traditional self-storage, indoor storage units are the safest, most secure option for your vehicle in Chicago, however because of that they are also the most expensive. Prices do vary by size, and some small cars/motorcycles can fit in a 10x10 or 10x15 unit, but your average size automobile will require a 10x20 unit.
Outdoor storage in Chicago
Outdoor storage in Chicago ranges from an unpaved lot to a dedicated parking spot on the facility grounds. Typically these spots are uncovered, however some outdoor options do have canopies you can park under. These spots will cost more than their uncovered counterpart, but they are still a much cheaper option than indoor vehicle storage.
