Secure Vehicle Storage for Motorbikes, Cars and Vans | ANVSJ

Finding safe and affordable vehicle storage is not always straightforward. Perhaps your garage is already full, your driveway leaves your vehicle exposed, or you need somewhere secure to keep a car, van, motorbike or lorry for an extended period. Choosing the right storage solution helps protect your vehicle from theft, weather damage and unnecessary wear while ensuring it remains accessible whenever you need it.

At ANVSJ, we offer secure indoor storage units and designated outdoor vehicle bays across Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. Whether you are storing a classic motorbike, a family car, a work van or a commercial vehicle, there are flexible options designed to suit different budgets and requirements.

The best storage option largely depends on the type of vehicle you own, how often you need access to it, and how long it will remain in storage.

Indoor vehicle storage provides the highest level of protection. Vehicles are kept inside secure container-style units that help shield them from weather, dirt and unwanted attention. This option is particularly popular among owners of classic cars, motorcycles and project vehicles that may spend several months off the road. Depending on the vehicle size, customers typically choose between 10ft x 8ft and 20ft x 8ft units.

Outdoor vehicle storage offers a practical and cost-effective alternative. Vehicles are parked within designated bays on monitored sites protected by CCTV and perimeter security systems. This solution works especially well for daily-use vehicles, work vans, fleet vehicles and larger commercial transport that requires quick and convenient access.

Several ANVSJ locations also provide 24-hour access, allowing customers to collect or park vehicles whenever necessary.

Storage prices vary between locations and according to vehicle size, but most customers can expect rates similar to the following:

Motorbike storage typically starts from around £17.30 per week, while cars can often be stored from approximately £20 per week. Outdoor van storage generally starts from around £25 per week, with larger vans beginning at approximately £35 per week. For lorries and larger commercial vehicles, prices commonly start from around £50 per week.

For the latest pricing and availability, it is always best to contact ANVSJ directly, as costs may vary between depots.

Security is often the primary concern when storing a vehicle away from home. Every ANVSJ depot benefits from CCTV monitoring and perimeter alarm systems, helping to provide peace of mind whether your vehicle is stored indoors or outdoors.

Many sites feature wide driveways and ground-level access, making manoeuvring straightforward even for larger vehicles, trailers and commercial transport. Unlike renting private land or maintaining additional parking facilities, vehicle storage offers flexibility without long-term commitments, allowing customers to adjust their space requirements as circumstances change.

A few simple preparations can make a significant difference to a vehicle's condition during storage.

Battery maintenance is one of the most important considerations. For indoor storage, a battery maintainer can help preserve charge over long periods. Where this is not possible, disconnecting the battery may prevent unnecessary drain.

Tyres should be inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure before storage begins. Vehicles that remain stationary for several months can develop flat spots, so occasional movement is beneficial whenever practical.

Fuel systems also benefit from preparation. Keeping the fuel tank topped up and using a stabiliser for long-term storage can help prevent fuel deterioration and internal corrosion. If an oil change is due, completing it before storage helps protect engine components.

Vehicle covers should always be breathable. Plastic sheets and tarpaulins may trap condensation, potentially causing more harm than good. Before fitting any cover, ensure the vehicle is clean and completely dry.

Where a car will remain stored for several months, it is generally advisable not to leave the handbrake engaged continuously. Wheel chocks can often provide a safer alternative while helping to avoid brake components sticking.

Where can I store a motorbike if I do not have a garage?

A secure indoor storage unit offers the greatest level of protection from weather and theft. Alternatively, an outdoor storage bay on a monitored site can provide a more budget-friendly option while maintaining excellent security.

Yes. A standard 10ft x 8ft unit will usually accommodate a motorcycle comfortably and often leaves space for riding gear, spare parts or basic maintenance equipment.

Motorbike storage at ANVSJ generally starts from approximately £17.30 per week, although pricing may vary depending on location and availability.

In most situations, yes. Two standard motorcycles can usually be positioned comfortably within a 10ft x 8ft unit. However, riders who require additional workspace or storage for equipment may benefit from upgrading to a larger unit.

Outdoor vehicle storage remains one of the most practical choices for daily-use vehicles, commercial vans and lorries. It offers easy drive-up access and often represents the most economical solution for larger vehicles. Businesses operating small fleets particularly appreciate the convenience of being able to move vehicles in and out quickly without accessing an enclosed unit.

For high-value vehicles, classics and long-term projects, indoor storage provides an additional layer of protection against weather conditions and environmental exposure. Combined with proper battery maintenance, breathable covers and moisture control measures, an enclosed unit can help preserve a vehicle's condition throughout the storage period.

Many owners also appreciate the ability to store spare wheels, tools, parts and accessories alongside their vehicle, keeping everything organised in one secure location.

Choosing the right vehicle storage solution comes down to balancing accessibility, protection and budget. Outdoor vehicle bays provide excellent convenience for regularly used vehicles, while indoor units deliver superior protection for classic cars, motorcycles and long-term storage projects.

With monitored facilities, CCTV coverage, perimeter security and 24-hour access available at selected locations, ANVSJ provides secure storage options for everything from motorbikes and family cars to commercial vans and lorries.
