How much should car storage cost?
As with anything in life, you get what you pay for!
If you are looking to store your car for as cheap as possible, you are likely to end up with it being parked in a field somewhere, or if you are lucky, an airport parking style facility. Squeezed in next to hundreds of other cars and carelessly moved around from one row to the next as other customers come and go. Another option is to rent a private hard standing space for as little as £50 per month, or rent out a garage at the back of a block of flats in the city for around £100 per month.
However, if you are looking to store something special or that you truly value, whether it’s a classic car, a sports car, or something really unique like an American muscle car, then you want to know that your much loved and valuable automobile is kept under lock and key. Not just the kind of lock and key of an up and over garage door that is vulnerable to breaking and break ins.
High end, specialist car storage requires the security of Fort Knox, to give you complete peace of mind that your pride and joy is totally secure. That’s why Lynx Car Storage has state of the art CCTV and alarm monitoring and an onsite presence. Our unique rural location on a private road provides utmost discretion and all customers are vetted prior to disclosure of the location. You won’t find our facility location on google maps!
All our cars are given their own private bays, connection to a battery charger and are cleaned every time they are taken in or out of storage. With temperature and humidity control, you can think of it more like a luxury country hotel for your car rather than your bog standard bed and breakfast. So how much should car storage cost? Well, we charge £175 per month + VAT, for high end car storage that keeps your car in tip top condition. Which is around industry standard for climate controlled car storage.
To put it into perspective, this is still cheaper than airport parking, speaking of which, if you are going away for a few months and need somewhere safe to store your car, we can arrange your taxi to and from the airport to take the stress out of your journey or deliver and collect your car from you. We are only an hour and a half from Heathrow and Gatwick terminals making it an ideal location if you live on the South coast. Your car will be clean and ready to go upon your return. Paying for high quality, climate controlled, car storage rather than scrimping and paying for a budget option will ultimately save you money in the long run given the damage that poor quality storage can do to your car, especially in the Winter months. Some other facilities will charge extra for things such as a battery conditioner or Tax and MOT reminders, however we like to keep our pricing simple and these extra benefits are included in our cost.
Preventative maintenance is an option we provide to give your car that extra bit of pampering whilst in our care. For just £25 per month we will do a full systems check, including fluid levels and pressure adjustments, run it up to operating temperature and take it for a drive on our private road to ensure everything is in full working order for when you are ready to next take it out.
The cost of car storage depends entirely on what you are looking for. But at Lynx Car Storage, you can rest assured that you will get a top of the range experience at an affordable price. Plus, we provide a Price For Life Guarantee, meaning that we will NEVER increase the standard monthly cost of your storage.
