I cannot imagine a storage facility allowing someone to plunk a car or truck in a unit. The fire hazard would be too great.

ETA: I searched. There are some that allow vehicles in a unit $109 a month in Shreveport. I couldn't find the rules, e.g. will they allow an older vintage car that leaks?


Fire hazard? They are mostly all metal and concrete block. We store the wifes car in one during he winter months to keep it indoors. 10' x 20' costs about $180 month. (She needs this large of one to keep from running into all the doors and walls).

I rented one for 60 days in the last year. They required me to pay like $15 a month for insurance on my stuff. I asked the person working there if anybody had ever had anything stolen or filed a claim. She said not in the 7 years she had worked there.

The fire hazard is the car. Newer cars may not be a problem, but older cars with gas leaks can be.
