Cost by Storage Type
Monthly rates vary significantly by storage type. Here's what you can expect to pay in 2026. These are typical market ranges rather than medians from our own sample: the prices facilities publish are for the facility as a whole, not per storage type, so we do not compute a per-type median from them.

What Affects Boat & RV Storage Pricing?
Storage Type
The biggest cost factor. Outdoor lots cost 40 to 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 to 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 to 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 to $50 more per month.
Contract Length
Month-to-month costs more. Signing a 6- or 12-month lease can save 10 to 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 to $15/ft/month) is often cheaper than flat rates.
Book during off-season
September to 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.
