I've got a Land Rover which I can't store at home in London because of the LEZ.
Keeping it temporarily at my girlfriends parents house in Suffolk while we are building a house nearby, but progress is slow on the build and I'm starting to feel the car has overstayed its welcome at the in-laws :/

Can anyone help? Looking to park the car up. Can be outdoors, or in a barn or anything really. As long as its off the road as I will probably SORN it. Doesn't leak oil... in fact could be just the answer if you are looking to 'man-up' your driveway! Only required for 9 months max. Probably more like 6 months.

Was thinking £25pm?

Please spread the word!

Problem is that at 2m tall it doesn't fit into most lockup style garages.

Home store said between £10 and £15 per week which, although more than initially budgeted, isn't bad for secure indoor storage with 24 hour access!

Evening AOK!

I can confirm (As car storage is my business) - That's a ruddy good rate. Just make sure your insurance company knows it's there so it's still covered under the insurance (As a few PHers have done when their cars come into me) then you'll be fine!

However if you get stuck, do let me know as I deal with a few PHers that are London based, admittedly my rates are a little more than Home store I'm afraid!

Would I be right in thinking that the going rate is between £16 and £20 per week for specialist car storage?

Despite my forum name I don't store cars. Car storage does not generate sufficient income per square foot for me.

Depends on where it is and what it offers.

Going UK rates for proper, professional car storage tend to be in the per-week range of ~£15 (farmer with spare big barn) to ~£50 (dehumidified with CCTV and 24hr security guard).

I suspect the upper end of those prices are for storage close to/in London.

It would be great to know what the market would stand for top quality car storage around Cambridge. There is a lot of money around here now but are there enough "car" enthusiasts to make the investment worth while.

I know of Autostore but thanks for the link.

The basic charge may be £80/month but if you want dust free and dehumidified then if is over £90 PLUS VAT so £108 before you add a few "extras".

Something to think about....
