Vehicle Storage Solutions with U Can Store

U Can Store has carefully considered the challenges of short and long term car storage and has designed tailored vehicle storage solutions. With comprehensive, secure, and convenient car storage facilities designed to meet the needs of businesses and individuals alike, here’s how U Can Store can revolutionise your vehicle storage.

 

1. State-of-the-Art Security Features

Vehicle theft and vandalism are growing concerns across South Africa. Personal cars and business fleets alike are at increased risk if left in an insecure car storage facility. 

Security is at the core of U Can Store’s service offering in all of our Johannesburg storage facilities. To give our customers peace of mind, we provide:

  • 24/7 surveillance: Continuous monitoring with advanced CCTV systems ensures every vehicle is under constant watch.
  • Secure access systems: Only authorised personnel can access the facility, reducing the risk of unauthorised entry.
  • Gated entry and on-site personnel: A gated entry system, combined with on-site staff and regular patrols, creates a multi-layered security approach.

Further, storing vehicles in substandard facilities can lead to complications with insurance coverage as they increase liability risk. U Can Store has aligned with insurance provider standards to meet all necessary security requirements for short and long-term car storage. This reduces liability concerns and can even potentially lower your insurance premiums!

2. Versatile Car Storage Units For Rent

If you have an extensive fleet, you’ve probably experienced limited parking space around Johannesburg. Finding secure and easily accessible car storage units for rent that can accommodate a variety of vehicles—trucks, vans, caravans and everything in between—is a challenging task. 

U Can Store has created tailored vehicle storage solutions depending on specific customer needs, with accessibility at the forefront! Whether you need to store a sentimental chassis while you’re building an engine, or rows and rows of food delivery scooters for your business, we’ve got you covered with the following car storage facilities:

  • Covered parking: Ideal for protecting vehicles from harsh weather conditions and exposure, ensuring they remain in top condition while still being easily accessible.
  • Open parking bays: Perfect for larger fleets, individual vehicles that are used frequently, or those needing easily accessible short or long-term car storage.
  • Underground parking: The obvious choice for valuable or classic vehicles needing 24/7 protection from elements and added security.

Note that not all of U Can Store’s facilities include all these storage options. Contact U Can Store helpful customer service team to learn more.

3. Adequate Space and Easy Accessibility

There’s little point in storing your vehicle in a place where you can’t easily access it! Short and long term car storage units that are difficult to reach or inadequately organised can cause frustration, disrupt schedules, and increase logistical costs.

Whether you’re a business owner with a large fleet, or an individual with a passion project on the go, we have ensured our car storage facilities have adequate space and easy accessibility so it’s never a nuisance to access your vehicles:

  • Ample space for large fleets: U Can Store’s facilities are designed to accommodate all vehicle types––with ample moveable space.
  • Optimised accessibility: Each storage option has a strategically organised layout to ensure vehicles can be accessed quickly and easily.

4. Weather Protected Car Storage Facilities

The weather in Johannesburg is unpredictable at the best of times, and changeable weather conditions can cause significant damage to vehicles left exposed! This can lead to deteriorated paint, rust, and mechanical issues, resulting in costly repairs and reduced vehicle lifespan.

We know too well that weather damage can impact vehicles’ operational reliability and resale value. As such, we ensure that our vehicle storage solutions protect your assets:

  • Underground and covered storage options protect vehicles from rain, hail, and sun exposure.
  • All facilities aim to maintain vehicles in pristine condition, reducing maintenance costs and preserving their value over time.
