What Is Drive Up Storage?

A drive up unit is a ground level storage space with its own roll up door that opens directly to the parking area. You park, open the door, and load. Most drive up units are built like garages, with a concrete floor and a metal roll up door.

Compare that to indoor storage, where you park outside, walk in through a building entrance, and carry your stuff down a hallway, sometimes up an elevator. Drive up cuts the walking and lifting.

It's the most common storage layout for a reason: it's fast, simple, and works for most of what people store.

Who Uses Drive Up Storage?

Homeowners and renters: tools, holiday decorations, kids' bikes, lawn gear, anything that needs to come out of the garage.
Movers: temporary household storage during a move, sale, or renovation.
Contractors and trades: jobsite tools, ladders, materials, equipment.
Small business owners: inventory, signage, trade show gear, off site overflow.
Boat, RV, and trailer owners: seasonal storage in larger units like 10x20 or 10x30.
Vehicle owners: classic cars, motorcycles, project vehicles.

If you load and unload more than once a month, drive up access saves real time on every trip.

What Should You Store in a Drive Up Unit?

Drive up units work well for items that don't need climate protection. Plenty of stored goods do fine without it.

Good fit for drive up:

Tools and hardware
Lawn and garden equipment, snow blowers, mowers
Outdoor furniture, grills, patio sets
Holiday decorations and seasonal storage
Bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, sports gear
Boxed household goods
Construction materials and contractor supplies
Vehicles, motorcycles, trailers
Boats and RVs (in 10x30 units)

Pick climate controlled instead for:

Wood furniture, leather, upholstery
Mattresses, pillows, fabric
Electronics, TVs, computers
Documents, photos, art, instruments
Anything sensitive to Michigan humidity or temperature swings

Want both? We also offer drive up climate controlled units , which is rare in Michigan. Park at your door and still get climate protection.

How to Choose the Right Size

Drive up units come in several sizes. Match the size to what you're storing and how much you need to fit.

5x10 from $65: studio apartment, motorcycle, small bedroom set, business records.
10x10 : one bedroom apartment, contractor tools, seasonal gear.
10x15 : two bedroom apartment, small home, larger contractor inventory.
10x20 : three bedroom home, vehicle plus household goods, full size pickup.
10x30 : four bedroom home, boat, RV, full size truck with trailer.

Common Questions About Drive Up Storage

Can I drive a moving truck up to my unit?

Yes. Our drive lanes are sized for box trucks up to 26 ft and full size trailers. Pull right up to your roll up door.

How tall are drive up units?

Most drive up units have an interior height of about 8 ft, with roll up doors around 7 ft tall. If you need extra ceiling height for stacking or for a tall vehicle, ask us at (248) 859-8533.

Is drive up cheaper than climate controlled?

Yes, usually 20 to 40 percent less for the same size. Drive up costs less to build and operate. If you don't need climate protection, drive up is the smart choice.

Can I store a vehicle in a drive up unit?

Yes. A 10x20 fits most cars, SUVs, motorcycles, and small pickups. A 10x30 fits a full size truck, boat, or smaller RV. See the 10x20 page or 10x30 page for details.

Are drive up units secure?

Yes. The whole property is fully fenced and keypad gated. We run dusk to dawn LED lighting and 24/7 HD video surveillance. Each tenant gets a unique gate code, and we recommend a high quality disc lock on the door.

What hours can I access my unit?

24/7 with your gate code. The office is staffed 7 AM to 10 PM daily if you need help, but you can come and go any time, day or night.

Do I need to bring my own lock?

You can bring your own disc lock or buy one in our office for about $15. We recommend a disc lock over a standard padlock for better security.
