Your Self Storage in The Southern Highlands

We work hard so we can play hard. And how good are calm Saturday mornings on the water in our beloved boat, fishing reel in hand or thrilling Sunday arvo’s buzzing along on our jet skis?

For some of us, it’s cruising’ down the main street in Mittagong on our big black shiny motorbikes, in our classic cars or even a perfect family day cycling along the Bong Bong track, picnic in tow.

So, how do we keep all our big toys safe and secure but easy get to if we want to play? Especially limited space to store them at home?

Look at using a local storage facility to do just that - its pretty easy and if you think about the benefits of keeping everything ship shape, not that expensive.

Why Store a Car in a Storage Facility?

As awesome as things like campers, bikes, boats [pedal and powered], jet skis, vintage cars are, we know these things don’t come cheap and keeping them in tip top condition for years of enjoyment is a priority.

Storing your things at home might seem like the right thing to do but there are so many variables that mean it may not be the best way to keep them safe and secure.

Open driveways can leave your vehicles exposed to the elements and as any Southern Highlands local will tell you, there sure are some elements. Wind, rain, hail and maybe even snow as we saw in May! Fun for playing in but maybe not for your brand new Harley Davidson!

Your home garage may not be the answer either - is the space becoming overcrowded and cluttered?

Maybe there’s that ever-present fear that someone will ding your precious bike/boat/1977 Classic Holden Torana when they’re pulling in, or that you might end up in the next viral video of a kiddo drawing all over their parents’ new toy with a bright red lipstick or fresh can of spray paint - can you imagine the clean up!

Taking that well earned overseas holiday? Don’t leave your car on the street for a garbage collection truck to mistake a mirror for a cockatoo … keep it protected from the revenge of natural wildlife in a self storage unit. You can store a few extra things too!

There are also thoughts of security. Here in the Southern Highlands we take pride in the safety locals experience, but it always pays to keep your things as secure as possible. For some of us, at home might not be the best choice.

That’s where a self storage centre can come in handy. Your weekend ride will be safe, dry and secure. It will be kept stored from the elements, locked up for safekeeping and ready for you when you get the urge to get out and about no matter and whenever that is.

How to Store a Car

Storing your vehicles is actually very easy and we’re super-duper lucky that we have excellent options for this in the Highlands.

Places like Tankar Self Storage Centre in Mittagong have lots of different storage sizes for your needs and take pride in keeping your things safe and secure.

Pro Tip: If you have other things you want to store - like home goods and work equipment - rent a space that has room for both your vehicle and those other bits and you’ll be all two birds and one stone!

The right self storage will also have ground-level access and nice wide driveways so grabbing your vehicles and heading out on the highway is a breeze.

Speaking of the highway, Tankar Self Storage Centre is super close to the Hume Highway which means if you’re heading north or south on holidays with your boat or whatever it is you’re taking away with you without too many detours, side streets and off-road quests to pick it up.
