You have several options to consider, so let’s take a look at those options.
On-base car storage
Yes, there is free on-base vehicle storage for military members facing a deployment, but there are problems associated with this option. Oftentimes we have heard that the on-base car storage is full when needed, leaving the military member with no choice but to find storage elsewhere. The other problem that arises with on-base car storage is the lack of basic amenities like checking tire air levels or starting up the vehicles so that the batteries stay charged. All too often a military member will come home after nine months to find a dead battery or flat tires, and that kind of nuisance after a long-term deployment is just a pain to deal with.
There is no doubt that on-base military storage is secure, and it is free, but is it the best for your situation?
Off-base military car storage
If you go off-base for your car storage military, there are several factors to consider: cost, flexibility, amenities, and security.
You can plan on paying anywhere from $150 to $350 per month for basic vehicle storage, whether it be at a mini storage or a car storage facility. Most of those facilities will have special military discounts, so make sure you ask about them. Most of them are reasonably secure, so that concern is also a non-factor.
What you really need to consider is the flexibility and the list of amenities available. How flexible is the secure vehicle storage company? Military deployments are notorious for being inconsistent. They may start out as nine-month deployments but suddenly extend to a year or more. Will there be a penalty if you need storage longer than what is stated in the contract? Will you be penalized for coming back early? Will your car be towed if you are late in returning? These are important questions, so make sure you get satisfactory answers before signing a lease.
Finally, check on amenities offered. Will the crew at the storage facility check your tires periodically? Will they arrange for basic maintenance? Will they start your engine to keep it running smoothly while you are away? Yes, these amenities will cost extra, but with military discounts that cost may not be prohibitive.
Call around and find the best deal in car storage for the military, and then compare it with the on-base storage. Choose whichever works best for your situation.
