Published by Chenelle on

Are you planning on keeping your vehicle in storage? What better way to get around this process than to keep yourself informed of the vehicle storage cost? We let you in on pointers for you to consider when making this important choice concerning your vehicle!

Why consider the cost of keeping your vehicle in storage?

Your vehicle is your prized possession. You invest most of your hard-earned savings when purchasing your car. Naturally, you would want only the best solutions for your car where storage is concerned. How do you get the best while also ensuring it does not blow a hole in your wallet? We are here to tell you how.

The need to keep your vehicle in storage can come up at any time. It is especially common if you are moving overseas. Prior to flying out, you will have to keep your vehicle in storage before you have it flown when you need to. It is obviously impractical to take it with you beforehand because you must first decide on a place to keep it.

It can even be the other way around. So many people visit Dubai yearly. They will not bring their vehicles but will have them shipped once they have settled. That small period of transit means you will not have a safe space to keep your vehicle in storage. Storage Dubai with Aeon Shipping offers customers a safe space to keep their vehicles in storage. Your vehicle will be in safe custody until you could gain access to it.

On the other hand, if you collect cars, you might need to be in possession of it right throughout. Especially if you don’t put them into use, keeping them cooped up in a garage might not be ideal. For one it occupies a large space, leaving you scrambling for space for more important things. Storage is an excellent solution in such cases as well.

Storage of cars in Dubai will vary based on several factors. Location, services offered and the type of storage are some of these reasons.

Factors that affect the vehicle storage cost

Size of space required

Size of space is one factor that will affect the size will vary based on the type of vehicle you wish to keep in storage. If for instance, you wish to keep a motor bicycle, the amount of space required will be low. In turn, the cost will also be low.

If however, you are planning to keep a larger vehicle like a car, a boat or an SUV, then you will require a considerable amount of space. The larger the space, the more it is going to cost. It might be helpful to crosscheck across the board to ascertain how much other companies would charge to keep a vehicle in storage. If you plan to keep a luxury or exotic vehicle in storage, you must expect higher costs to keep it in storage. Cross checking will be important if you have budgeted the process of keeping your vehicle in storage.

Therefore, no matter what you plan to keep in storage, the overall cost of storage will mainly depend on the amount of space required by your items.

Type of storage and vehicle storage cost

While there are a number of storage solutions to cater to your needs, the main two include indoor and outdoor storage.

Storage in Dubai offers multiple packages where the indoor storage option is concerned. Indoor storage costs more in comparison to outdoor storage. This will ofcourse depend on whether you harbor a long term or short term requirement. If it is a long-term requirement or you wish to keep a luxury vehicle stored, this option will suit you best.

For instance, our platinum package will offer you a dedicated space of storage for your exotic/luxury/vintage vehicles. With this you will also receive detailed reports of your vehicle while it is kept in storage. From car charging to car washes, this is one wholesome service that is worth the money you pay.

The outdoor option lets you keep your vehicle in storage,at half the cost. Your vehicle will be well taken care of right throughout. This shared space is ideal if you only wish to keep your car in storage for just a couple of days. We have installed CCTV cameras installed and security personnel stationed to observe anything suspicious.

Security

If it is a storage facility with no security, it is no better than keeping your vehicle parked by the side of a road. Professional storage companies who take credibility and responsibility seriously have almost always amped up their security game. Constant surveillance of the premises is carried out through the installation of CCTV cameras that operate 24/7 365. Additionally, we have security personnel who have been stationed to ensure no one goes in or out without being noticed.  Due to the highly secure environments that storage units maintain, they are considered to be some of the most secure places to keep your vehicle stored.

Added services and features

Apart from the obvious few, there are certain other features that will determine the cost of keeping a vehicle in storage.

Professional staff members are retained by most companies. They have embarked upon the process involved with vehicle storage time and time again. From the loading to the unloading, taking care of your vehicle, ensuring the vehicle is safe, and even preparing detailed reports, they know it all. For instance, if your vehicle needs to be transported from the airport, our crew members will take care of it for you.

Certain vehicles that are of high value require constant care as well as attention to detail. This might involve sports vehicles, luxury vehicles and even classic cars. We understand your vehicle is your most prized possession. This is why temperature controlled facilities that have been designed to keep such vehicles safe might be ideal for you. Rest assured, your vehicle will be safe against harsh weather conditions- rain or shine, and dust. Let us not forget the pests as they can damage a vehicle easily if left unattended. The tightly closed facilities easily keep the pests and rodents out.
