Motorcycle, ATV, and Small Vehicle Storage
Motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and other small vehicles take up valuable space at home, and not every garage has room to spare. Anytime Storage offers small vehicle storage solutions designed to keep your bike, four-wheeler, snowmobile, or off-road vehicle secure when you are not riding it. Whether you are storing for the winter, freeing up garage space, or looking for a more permanent parking solution, we have options to fit your vehicle and your budget.
Why Store Your Small Vehicle With Us
Storing a motorcycle or ATV at home is not always practical. Garages fill up fast, driveways are not always secure, and homeowners association rules can limit what you are allowed to park outside. Renting a storage unit gives your vehicle a dedicated space away from the elements and away from the day-to-day clutter at home.
Anytime Storage facilities offer security features like gated access and video surveillance to help protect your vehicle while it is in storage. You also get the flexibility of month-to-month rentals, so you are never locked into a long-term commitment for a vehicle you only need to store seasonally.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Small Vehicle Storage
Choosing between indoor and outdoor storage comes down to how much protection your vehicle needs and what you are willing to spend.
Indoor Storage
Indoor units offer a garage-like space that protects your motorcycle or ATV from sun, rain, snow, and temperature swings. This is the better option if you plan to store your vehicle long term or if you want the added peace of mind that comes with a fully enclosed space.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor parking spaces are a more affordable option and work well for vehicles on trailers or larger vehicles that need more room. If you choose outdoor storage, a quality cover goes a long way toward protecting your vehicle from dust, moisture, and sun exposure.
Motorcycle Storage
Motorcycle storage is one of the most common reasons riders turn to self storage. Whether you are parking your bike for the winter, living somewhere without garage space, or only riding on weekends, a storage unit keeps your motorcycle protected and out of the way until you are ready to ride again.
What Size Storage Unit Do You Need for a Motorcycle?
Most motorcycles fit comfortably in a 5x10 storage unit, which gives you enough room for the bike itself along with helmets, gear, or a cover. If you are storing more than one motorcycle or pairing your bike with other items, a slightly larger unit may be worth considering.
ATV, UTV, 4-Wheeler, and Side-by-Side Storage
Not sure what category your vehicle falls into? Here is a quick breakdown:
- ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle): A single-rider, four-wheeled off-road vehicle steered with handlebars. Sport ATVs are built for speed and agility; utility ATVs are built for hauling and rough terrain.
- UTV (Utility Task Vehicle): A side-by-side vehicle with a steering wheel and seating for two or more passengers, enclosed with a roll cage. Also called a side-by-side.
- 4-Wheeler: A common informal name for an ATV. If someone calls their vehicle a 4-wheeler, it is almost always an ATV.
- Side-by-side: The same thing as a UTV. The name refers to the seating configuration, where the driver and passenger sit next to each other rather than one behind the other.
ATVs, UTVs, 4-wheelers, and side-by-sides are often seasonal vehicles, used heavily for off-road riding, hunting, or utility work and then parked during the off-season. Storing your vehicle in a dedicated area frees up space in your garage and keeps it protected when it is not in use.
Choosing the Right Size
- A standard sport or utility ATV typically fits in a 5x10 unit.
- Larger UTVs and side-by-sides may need a 10x15 unit, depending on length and width.
- If you are storing your ATV or UTV on a trailer, measure the total length of the trailer to determine the right size, which is often a 10x15, 10x20, or larger unit.

Dirt Bike Storage
Dirt bikes are smaller than most motorcycles, but they still need a secure place to sit between rides or during the off-season. A storage unit helps keep your dirt bike protected from the weather while keeping it out of your garage or living space. Most dirt bikes fit easily in a small indoor unit alongside riding gear, helmets, and other accessories.
Go-Kart Storage
A go-kart is a small, open-wheel vehicle with a low-to-the-ground frame, typically powered by a gas or electric engine. Go-karts range from recreational backyard models used by families to racing karts used on tracks. They do not have doors or a roof, and most are not street legal.
Go-karts are not everyday drivers, which means they often sit between uses, taking up room in a garage or driveway. A storage unit gives your go-kart a dedicated space that keeps it out of the way without leaving it exposed to the elements.
Most go-karts fit easily in a 5x10 or 10x10 unit, depending on size. If you are storing a go-kart with a trailer or alongside racing gear and equipment, a 10x10 or 10x15 unit will give you more room to work with.
Snowmobile Storage
A snowmobile is a motorized vehicle designed for travel over snow and ice, typically powered by a rear track and steered by front skis. Also called a sled or snow machine depending on the region, snowmobiles are most heavily used in winter months and often spend the warmer parts of the year in storage.
When the snow melts, you need somewhere to put your sled until the next season. Storing a snowmobile at home is not always easy, especially if you ride in a warmer climate and only bring it out a few months a year. A self storage unit keeps your snowmobile shielded from heat and humidity during the off-season and out of the way until you need it again. Most snowmobiles fit in a 10x10 or 10x15 unit, depending on whether you are storing with a trailer or alongside other seasonal gear. If you are storing multiple sleds or keeping a trailer with them, measure the combined length before choosing a unit size.
