What you can rent
The mix leans toward covered and outdoor space. Three of the four facilities list outdoor spots, 2 offer covered, and 2 have indoor bays for anyone who wants the hull out of the sun and weather. Every one of the 4 handles boats and vehicles, so you can bring the trailer or a second car along. Note that none of the listings here mention trailer-only or parking-only options. Call ahead if that is what you need. Two Public Storage locations carry the strongest ratings, at 4.8 and 4.7 stars across 398 and 364 reviews. MyPlace Self Storage sits at 4.7 with 248 reviews. Stache Storage of Charleston has no reviews yet.
Choosing between them
Start with access hours. Three facilities advertise 24/7 gate entry, which is worth a lot if you fish early or pull in after dark. The rest keep office hours, so confirm the gate schedule before you sign anything. Security setup varies too: some list gated entry and lighting, MyPlace adds cameras. Then think about coverage. A covered or indoor bay costs more but keeps UV off the vinyl and gelcoat, and Charleston sun is not gentle. Outdoor spots are fine for a trailer or a boat you use often. Check the ground drains well before you commit, and ask whether the lot sits high enough for storm season. Your own insurance may also want to know how the yard is secured.
Around Charleston
These facilities serve the whole metro, from the peninsula out toward the beaches and the rivers. If you launch on the Ashley, the Cooper, or farther out on the Intracoastal, pick a yard on the side of town you actually drive. A twenty minute difference each way adds up over a season. Ask about turning room for a trailer and how tight the aisles get when the lot is full. Visit in person before you rent. Look at the gate, the lighting, and whether other rigs look cared for. Reviews help, but your own eyes on a Saturday morning tell you more.

Questions people ask
How many boat storage facilities are in Charleston?
There are 4 listed in Charleston, plus 5 more nearby, for 9 total in the area. They average 4.7 stars across reviews. Three of the 4 in town offer 24/7 gate access, and every one of them handles boats and vehicles.
How many of these facilities offer covered or indoor space?
Two of the 4 list covered storage and 2 list indoor bays. Three offer outdoor spots. If you want the boat fully out of the weather, ask about indoor availability first, since that is the smaller category here.
Do I need to worry about sun damage in Charleston?
Yes. Strong sun wears on gelcoat, vinyl, and tires over time. A covered or indoor spot reduces that wear, and a quality cover helps if you park outside. Check the cover drains and fits well so water does not pool.
What should I check before renting a spot?
Confirm gate hours, lighting, and camera coverage, and walk the lot to see how tight the aisles are with a trailer. Ask whether the ground drains after heavy rain. Then check with your insurer about coverage while the boat sits in storage.
