Of the 4 facilities here, 3 offer outdoor parking, 2 have indoor units and 1 is covered. Outdoor works if you drive the rig regularly and want the lowest cost, but expect sun and UV to work on gelcoat and tires over a few seasons. Indoor is the better call for a stored boat or a vehicle that sits from November to April. One facility in the group also handles climate-controlled storage, which helps with damp and condensation. Ask how the unit is ventilated before you commit, especially for anything with upholstery or a wood interior.
Jay Street Self Storage carries the strongest rating here at 4.9 from 62 reviews, with indoor and outdoor space plus boat and trailer room, gated access and cameras. Store Space Self Storage has a much larger review base at 677 and a 4.7 rating, and it takes boats. CubeSmart Self Storage, also 4.7, is the covered and climate option with gates and cameras. Self-Storage at U-Haul has indoor and outdoor space, 24/7 gate access, cameras, a wash bay and climate control. If you want to rinse road salt off before parking, that last one is worth a call.
Check gate hours against your schedule, because only one of the 4 facilities here advertises around-the-clock access. Confirm your rig actually fits the space and the drive aisle, and measure height if you are going indoors. Ask whether the facility wants proof of insurance and whether the lease is month to month. Plan on a battery maintainer for anything stored more than a few weeks, and winterize the water system before the first hard freeze. Boat owners should confirm trailer storage is included in the rate rather than billed separately.
There are 4 listed in Rochester, with 6 more nearby. Two offer indoor storage, 3 offer outdoor, and 1 is covered. Two handle boats and one takes trailers.
Jay Street Self Storage leads at 4.9 from 62 reviews. Store Space Self Storage and CubeSmart Self Storage both sit at 4.7, with 677 and 303 reviews respectively. Self-Storage at U-Haul has no rating yet.
For a vehicle or boat that sits all winter, indoor keeps snow, ice and freeze-thaw cycles off the finish and out of the seams. Outdoor is fine for a rig you move often. Either way, pull the battery or put it on a maintainer and winterize the plumbing.
Self-Storage at U-Haul is the one facility here advertising around-the-clock access. The others keep set gate hours, so confirm them before you plan a late pickup or an early season start.
