Extra Space Storage
Richardson self-storage with vehicle parking, cameras, and staff reviewers call courteous and patient.
Richardson sits where US 75 meets the George Bush Turnpike, which makes it a practical base whether you commute into Dallas or head north to the lakes. For car and vehicle storage, the choices here are few but solid: two facilities inside the city and seven more within reach. Both local spots hold a 5.0 average from renters, and one keeps its gate open around the clock.

Two facilities cover car and vehicle storage inside the city. That breaks down to one indoor unit and one outdoor space, so you are choosing between a roof over the vehicle and a spot in the open. With two locations and no covered middle option, it pays to call ahead and confirm what is open before you drive over. The nearby towns add seven more facilities if neither local one fits your schedule or your vehicle's size. Extra Space Storage carries a 4.9 rating across 444 reviews, so plenty of people have opinions about it. Self-Storage at U-Haul is newer to the review game with just six ratings, though it holds a perfect 5.0.
Both facilities handle vehicle storage, but they are built for different habits. Self-Storage at U-Haul is the one with 24/7 gate access, cameras, a wash on site and climate control, which matters if you store something with a battery and electronics you would rather not cook in the Texas heat. The wash bay is a nice thing to have before you tuck a car away. Extra Space Storage lists cameras and earns its keep on reputation, with hundreds of reviews behind that 4.9. If you want a facility with a long track record, that is the draw. Ask either one about gate hours, since only the U-Haul location advertises round-the-clock entry.
North Texas sun is hard on paint, rubber and dashboards, and hail season runs through spring. An indoor bay solves most of that, but if you go outdoor, a quality cover and a windshield shade are cheap insurance. Pull the battery or put it on a maintainer if the car will sit for weeks. Wash off bird droppings and tree sap early, because they etch clear coat fast. Before you sign anything, read the storage agreement for what your auto policy covers while the vehicle is parked. Check the gate hours against your own schedule, and walk the aisle you will use to see how tight the turns are for a longer vehicle.
There are two facilities in Richardson itself, one indoor and one outdoor. Another seven sit within reach in nearby areas, which gives you options if the local pair is full or does not match your vehicle size.
Self-Storage at U-Haul lists 24/7 gate access along with cameras, a wash and climate control. Extra Space Storage does not list around-the-clock entry, so confirm gate hours with them directly if late access matters to you.
The two facilities average 5.0. Extra Space Storage holds a 4.9 from 444 reviews, a large sample. Self-Storage at U-Haul sits at 5.0 from six reviews, so that score reflects far fewer renters.
Indoor protects paint and interior from sun, hail and dust, which counts for a lot in North Texas. Outdoor usually costs less and suits a work truck or a rig you move often. Weigh how long the vehicle will sit against what you want to spend.
