What Affects Storage Costs?

Climate Control in Vancouver

Vancouver's wet climate and high humidity significantly affect storage. The primary concern isn't temperature—it's constant moisture that causes mould, warping, and corrosion.

Climate-controlled units in Vancouver need de-humidification systems, not just temperature regulation. Standard heating and cooling isn't enough—moisture must be actively removed from the air.

21 Vancouver facilities offer climate control, and in this city, it's not optional—it's damage prevention.

Why Vancouver storage is different: The North Shore mountains trap wet ocean air over the city from October through May. Standard units stay damp for months. Vancouver's mild winters mean items never freeze dry—they just sit in moisture. Coastal fog creeps in even on sunny days. Without climate control, cardboard boxes get mould spots within a few weeks, leather develops mildew, and electronics corrode.

Most Vancouverites use storage for ski gear between Whistler weekends, expensive bikes during the wet months, camping equipment, or furniture during moves—and Vancouver's tight housing market means people move a lot. 

Even with climate control, throw some silica gel packets in your boxes. Vancouver humidity finds a way.

Drive-Up vs Indoor

Drive-up units let you pull up directly to your unit—no elevators or hallways. Makes loading and unloading much easier for heavy items or frequent access. 9 Vancouver facilities on FindStorageFast offer drive-up access. Indoor units typically include climate control and better weather protection.

Who uses drive-up storage: Contractors and tradespeople running businesses from storage units access tools and equipment multiple times daily. Landscapers and seasonal businesses load equipment directly from trucks. If you're making frequent trips, drive-up access is more efficient than indoor units with hallways and freight elevators.

Vehicle and Boat Storage Around Vancouver

Vancouver traffic affects storage accessibility year-round.. Between the rain, occasional snow, and the already congested roads and bridges, many Vancouverites opt for winter car storage. One thing to keep in mind - winter storage spots fill up fast - usually by late October or early November. Book early if you think you will need it.

9 Vancouver facilities we track offer vehicle storage, starting as low as $104/month. Options include outdoor parking spaces and indoor drive up units. Some facilities also offer climate controlled, indoor drive up units for a premium.

Richmond and Burnaby typically offer better vehicle and RV storage prices than downtown. Prime Storage in Burnaby offers car, boat and RV storage, Maple Leaf locations, and Advanced Self Storage have vehicle storage available.

Vancouver tip: Book covered or indoor storage for boats. Salt air from the coast causes corrosion over time.
