Putting your motorcycle in storage keeps your bike secure and protected from the elements when you're not hitting the open road. With convenient facilities near your home, accessing your stored motorcycle is as simple as pulling it from your garage – but with the added security and climate protection that your driveway or overcrowded garage can't match.

Choosing the right storage unit size for your motorcycle depends on your bike's dimensions, how much gear you plan to store, and whether you need space to move around for maintenance. While most motorcycles can fit in smaller units, having extra room for helmets, riding gear, tools, and easy maneuvering makes the storage experience much more convenient. Use this guide to find the perfect fit for your two-wheeled investment.

This is the most popular motorcycle storage option, as it offers advanced protection from the weather, theft, and other potential risks of bike damage or added maintenance requirements. Some facilities even offer climate-controlled motorcycle storage to make preparing your motorcycle for winter storage a little easier. Many indoor motorcycle storage units feature drive-up access and other conveniences, including 24/7 access to your bike and unit contents.
You can store your motorcycle outdoors at a storage facility. Similar to car storage, you also have the option to keep your motorcycle in an open-air parking lot. Some facilities even have awnings over their storage area for added sun protection. If you choose outdoor storage for your motorcycle, your bike will likely be parked in a standard 8x20 space. This is a cheap motorcycle storage option, but it will require extra work for winterization and long-term storage preparation.
Motorcycle storage costs vary depending on factors like unit size, location, amenities, and seasonal demand. Most motorcycle owners opt for indoor storage to balance protection and affordability.
Unit Size | Dimensions | Standard Indoor | Climate-Controlled | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5' × 5' × 8' | $55 ($35 - $75) | $70 ($50 - $95) | Small bikes, scooters | |
| 5' × 10' × 8' | $83 ($60 - $110) | $105 ($80 - $135) | Standard motorcycles | |
| 10' × 10' × 8' | $136 ($100 - $180) | $165 ($125 - $220) | Large bikes + gear | |

| 10' × 20' × 8' | $225 ($170 - $300) | $275 ($200 - $360) | Motorcycle collection |
If you’re only looking to store a motorcycle for a short period of time, outdoor storage will give you the best bang for your buck. But remember - outdoor storage won’t protect your motorcycle from extreme weather like excessive heat, hail, rain, or snow.
Storage Type | Average Monthly Cost | Price Range | Protection Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| $65 | $30 - $100 | Basic security only | |
| $100 | $50 - $150 | Some weather protection |
