frequently asked questions about car storage
.Where is your car storage facility located?

How do I deliver or collect my vehicle?
Collection & delivery is at our storage location. We realise it isn’t always convenient for you to drop of or collect your vehicle and can arrange transportation to your preferred location. Contact us for more information on this service. We can also meet (or drop off) our customers at local train stations including Hitchin & Luton Airport Parkway.
What if I want to use my car?
We’re classic car owners and enthusiasts, and firmly believe our customers should enjoy flexible access to their cars. Unlike most car storage businesses, we don’t ask for 14 days notice if you want to enjoy your car. Call, text or email us with 48hrs notice of when you’d like to remove your car from storage. Our normal hours for vehicle collection & delivery are Mon-Fri 10am-5pm. Longer notice is typically required for weekends and outside normal hours (a service charge of £50 applies to weekends and outside normal hours). We aim to be as flexible as possible.

Whats included with car storage?
When your car arrives for entry to storage, we’ll complete our check-in process. Multiple photos will be taken to capture your vehicles condition, any damage noted and an odometer reading taken. We take the time to get to know your car, understand any alarm/immobiliser operation and any special requirements you have. Lastly, we’ll confirm the battery location and any special instructions for connecting a battery charger. Your car will then be moved into storage, a battery charger connected and (if dry) a soft cover placed over it to protect during storage. Your keys will be secured in a lockbox at a 2nd location
How do I pay for car storage?
Once your car is in storage we’ll send you an invoice. Storage is payable in advance, by bank transfer or standing order and our bank details are on your invoice. Alternatively we can set up a direct debit and invoice you at your preferred payment frequency.
