If you own an RV or boat, you already know the off-season dilemma: your driveway isn't big enough, street parking isn't allowed, and leaving it exposed to the elements all winter is asking for trouble. RV and boat storage gives you a secure, affordable place to keep your vehicle protected between adventures — without the HOA violations or the weather damage.
At Bolt Storage, we offer flexible outdoor, covered, and indoor storage options built for oversized vehicles. Prices start around $75/month for outdoor spots and go up depending on the level of protection you need.
Types of RV and Boat Storage
Choosing the right storage type comes down to how long you're storing, your local climate, and your budget. Here's how the three main options compare:
Outdoor Parking: Open-lot storage in a gated, camera-monitored facility. Most affordable option — typically $55–$80/month. Best for frequent use or mild climates where weatherproofing is less of a concern.
Covered Parking: A roof overhead protects against rain, UV damage, snow, and hail. Expect to pay $125–$200/month. A smart middle ground for most RV and boat owners.
Indoor Storage: Fully enclosed units offering maximum protection from weather and theft. Ranges from $150–$400+/month depending on size and location. Ideal for long-term storage or high-value vehicles.
What Can You Store?
Our facilities are built to handle oversized and recreational vehicles of all kinds, including RVs, motorhomes, and camper vans (Class A, B, and C), boats and powerboats on trailers, personal watercraft like jet skis and wave runners, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, travel trailers and fifth wheels, and work trucks and oversized vehicles.

Boat-Specific Storage Tips
Boats have a few unique storage considerations worth knowing before you rent.
Trailer access: If your boat is on a trailer, confirm the facility has wide enough lanes and tall enough clearance for your rig.
Winterization: Before long-term storage, drain water systems, add fuel stabilizer, and cover or shrink-wrap the hull to prevent freeze damage.
Moisture control: Even in covered or indoor storage, boat covers and moisture absorbers help prevent mold and mildew on upholstery and below deck.
Who Uses RV and Boat Storage?
Our vehicle storage customers range from seasonal RVers and weekend boaters to full-time snowbirds and small business owners. Common reasons people rent include HOA or neighborhood restrictions on oversized vehicles, limited driveway or garage space, winter storage during the off-season, and keeping a high-value asset secure year-round.

FAQ: RV and Boat Storage
How much does RV storage cost per month?
It depends on the storage type and your location. Outdoor uncovered spots typically run $75–$150/month. Covered storage averages $125–$200/month. Indoor storage ranges from $150–$400+ depending on vehicle size and facility amenities. Bolt Storage pricing varies by location — check your nearest facility for current rates.
How much does boat storage cost?
Outdoor boat storage generally runs $70–$120/month. Covered storage averages $150–$190/month. Indoor or climate-controlled options can run $200–$500+/month for larger vessels. Smaller boats on trailers are on the lower end; larger powerboats cost more due to space requirements.
What's the best storage option for an RV or boat?
If you're in a region with harsh winters or hot summers, covered or indoor storage is worth the extra cost — it protects your investment from UV damage, freeze damage, and moisture. If you use your vehicle frequently and your climate is mild, outdoor storage is a practical and affordable choice.
Can I access my RV or boat anytime?
Many Bolt Storage facilities offer extended or 24/7 access. Check your specific location for access hours — availability varies by facility.
Do I need insurance for stored vehicles?
Most storage facilities require proof of insurance for vehicles stored on-site. Your existing RV or boat insurance may cover storage — check with your provider. If not, storage insurance is typically affordable and easy to add.
How big of a space do I need?
For most travel trailers and mid-size boats, a 10x30 or 10x40 space works well. Class A motorhomes and larger boats may need a 12x45 or larger. When in doubt, measure your vehicle including the hitch or trailer tongue and contact us — we'll match you to the right size.
