The pride you feel when you own a classic car should carry over to the storage space. After all, this is where the vehicle will rest most of the time. The agents at Marla Williams Agency will discuss the ideal storage site and whether your garage meets the qualifications.

What is the ideal storage space for your classic car?

A classic car storage area or a self-storage unit in Kansas is ideal for your classic car. Both facilities offer temperature control, air quality, 24/7 security and monitoring, and lighting features. Protective car covers may be available, and the walls, floors, and doors are immaculate. The secure area deters rodents and animals, but employees inspect the area frequently. Unfortunately, this ideal area doesn’t come cheap; you have to make monthly payments to reap the benefits.

Can your garage or barn be an ideal storage space for your car?

It depends on the other items stored in the area. While your home garage or barn is a free and accessible enclosure, garden items, power tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items could damage or scratch the classic car should they fall or bump into it. Prevent this by relocating them and similar items to a separate room. Meanwhile, the fluctuating temperatures may cause rust, mold, faded paint, and cracked rubber on the classic car, among other things. Additionally, you must inspect and remove rodents. 

Classic car insurance covers all storage options mentioned. However, keeping your car in good condition is your responsibility. Failing that, you’ll pay extra for repairs you could’ve avoided. If you are unsure that your storage area is adequate, an insurance agent at Marla Williams Agency will review the policy and compare it with your description and photos to determine if the space is acceptable.
