Yes, there is, oftentimes, free military vehicle storage available for those called off to duty.

But what if the vehicle storage lot is full? It does happen, you know, and when it does, military members must make a choice.

How to choose vehicle storage

Choosing car storage military is a bit more complicated than doing a Google search. Most military deployments are for six months, nine months, or longer. That is a long time to leave your vehicle unattended and uncared for. All manner of damage can happen to that car while you are away serving your country. With that in mind, it is important to consider the safety and the extra care a car needs while sitting idle for such a long time.

Let’s, for a moment, set aside the matter of cost. Cost may, or may not, be a factor, and your voucher may, or may not, cover the entire cost of long term auto storage military but it is a simple matter to call around and find out costs. This article will concentrate, rather, on other factors equally important.

Secure vehicle storage is important

Without a doubt you will want secure vehicle storage, so check out the security offered by an car storage facility you choose. How easy is it to reach the storage area where your car will be parked? Is there a fence around the facility? Is there video security monitoring? How rapid is the response to an alarm at the facility? It takes very little time to vandalize or steal a car or truck, so concentrate on finding the best vehicle storage security you can afford in your area.

And what about extra car care?

Are there premium services available at the car storage facility? Will they start the engine on your vehicle occasionally? Will they check the tires to make sure they are not underinflated? Will they detail your vehicle, and arrange for periodic maintenance? An idle car is a car prone to engine problems, so carefully consider finding this option.

And what about climate controlled car storage? At least thirty-eight states in the United States experience climate extremes, and extreme weather can adversely affect the surfaces on a car or truck. This is an option you might want to seriously consider. Even if you don’t initially sign up for it, you might want it available should you change your mind.

That should give you enough to think about as you ponder and look for vehicle storage for the military. Again, if you have questions, call the pros at Fort Worth Car Storage. After thirty years in this business, we have the answers!
