What the two facilities offer
CubeSmart Self Storage carries a 4.7 rating across 325 reviews and offers covered, vehicle, and climate-controlled space. The climate option matters in Rhode Island, where humidity swings and winter cold are hard on upholstery, rubber seals, and batteries. It is gated with cameras on site. Public Storage sits at 4.4 stars over 78 reviews and covers more ground: covered, indoor, outdoor, boat, and vehicle storage. It is gated, lit, and has 24/7 gate access, which helps if you load up after dark or head out before sunrise. Both are worth a call before you commit.
Pick your spot by season
An indoor bay keeps a classic or a convertible out of sun and hail, and it spares you scraping ice off glass in January. Covered stalls cost less and still block the worst of the UV and weather, though wind-driven rain finds its way in. Outdoor is the cheapest route and fine for a trailer or a beater you aren't fussy about. If your rig sits for months, pull the battery or put it on a maintainer, and top off the fuel with a stabilizer before you park it. Check gate hours against your own schedule before you sign anything.
Getting there and around
Johnston is a short hop from Providence, so this is a sensible base if you store a vehicle in the city and drive in for work or a weekend. The interstate access is the real draw: you can be on the road toward the coast or the western part of the state without threading through downtown streets. Boat owners should look at the Public Storage listing, since it is the one facility here that names boat storage. Call ahead on availability for the size you need, and ask what the gate access rules are on weekends and holidays. Confirm your insurance covers the vehicle while it sits off your property.

Questions people ask
How many vehicle storage facilities are in Johnston?
Two are listed in Johnston, averaging 4.6 stars across their reviews. Another seven sit nearby if neither fits your size or schedule. Both local facilities offer covered storage, so you have options for keeping a vehicle out of the weather.
Which Johnston facilities have climate control?
CubeSmart Self Storage is the one listing climate-controlled space, alongside covered and vehicle storage. That is worth asking about if you store something with leather, vinyl, or electronics you want protected from Rhode Island humidity and cold.
Is 24/7 gate access available?
Yes, Public Storage lists 24/7 gate access, and it is also gated and lit. That suits anyone who loads a rig at night or leaves early. CubeSmart is gated with cameras but does not list around-the-clock hours, so confirm its schedule directly.
Can I store a boat in Johnston?
Public Storage names boat storage among its options, along with covered, indoor, outdoor, and vehicle storage. That makes it the one local facility to call for a boat. Ask about the space you need and how the gate works before you haul it over.
