Covered or indoor, and why it counts
Southern California sun is gentle compared with the desert, but UV still fades gelcoat, cracks tires and bakes dashboards year after year. Covered storage blocks most of that without walls, and it usually costs less than indoor. Indoor space at Security Public Storage keeps a vehicle out of dust and rain entirely, which suits a classic car or anything with fresh paint. If you tow a boat, Storage Outlet is the one local facility listing boat storage. Check clearance height and door width before you book indoor space, and walk the stall to confirm your rig fits.
Before you sign
Ask each facility what the gate hours are, since neither advertises round-the-clock access, and figure out whether your schedule fits. Confirm the contract covers the vehicle type you own and that the space is measured for its length and height, not just a category name. Walk the property at the hour you would actually visit. Look for working cameras, good lighting and a gate that latches. Then check your auto or RV policy to see whether stored vehicles stay covered, and ask the facility whether they require proof of insurance. A battery maintainer and a good cover go a long way during long sits.

Is covered or indoor storage available?

Can I store a boat in South Gate?

Do the facilities offer 24/7 gate access?
None of the local facilities list 24/7 gate access. Confirm the posted hours before you book, especially if you work odd shifts or tow a rig on weekends. A facility that closes early can make retrieving a vehicle inconvenient even when everything else fits.
