What Affects Boat & RV Storage Pricing?
Storage Type
The biggest cost factor. Outdoor lots cost 40–60% less than enclosed buildings. Climate-controlled units are the premium tier.
Vehicle Size
Many facilities charge per foot per month. A 20-ft boat costs roughly half of a 40-ft RV at the same facility.
Location
Coastal cities and major metros charge 30–80% more than rural areas. Florida, California, and Arizona are the priciest markets.
Season
Northern states often offer lower winter rates. Book off-season for 15–30% savings. Summer storage near lakes costs a premium.
Security & Amenities
Facilities with 24/7 access, cameras, gated entry, wash bays, and dump stations charge $20–$50 more per month.
Contract Length
Month-to-month costs more. Signing a 6- or 12-month lease can save 10–20%. Ask about seasonal package deals.
Tips to Save on Boat & RV Storage
Compare at least 3 facilities
Prices vary up to 200% between facilities in the same city. Use our directory to compare side-by-side.
Ask about per-foot pricing
If your boat or RV is under 25 ft, per-foot pricing ($8–$15/ft/month) is often cheaper than flat rates.
Book during off-season
September–November is the best time to lock in rates in most markets. Facilities offer discounts to fill empty spots before winter.
Consider covered over indoor
Covered storage provides 80% of the weather protection at 40% lower cost. Best value for most boats and RVs.
Negotiate multi-year contracts
If you plan to store long-term, ask for a 2-year rate lock. Many facilities will hold prices in exchange for commitment.
Check for move-in specials
Many facilities offer the first month free or 50% off. Ask about current promotions before signing.
