The RV Storage Rate Index: outdoor spaces post a median $85 a month, covered $150, indoor $245
In October 2026 we collected the monthly rates posted on the websites of 1,349 RV, boat and vehicle storage facilities in our directory, 4,872 price points in all. The median outdoor space lists at $85 a month, covered at $150 and indoor at $245, almost three times the outdoor rate. Length matters as much as roof: a 50-59 ft space posts a median $222.29.

Key findings
- Outdoor storage: median $85 a month (middle half $60 to $135, n = 2,550 posted rates).

- Every 10 feet costs more. Median posted rates rise from $75 for 10-19 ft spaces to $115 for 30-39 ft, $142.08 for 40-49 ft and $222.29 for 50-59 ft.

What storage costs, by type
| Outdoor | 2,550 | $85 | $60 | $135 |
| Monthly parking | 534 | $99 | $65.75 | $140 |
| Covered | 682 | $150 | $110 | $195 |
| Indoor | 1,106 | $245 | $150 | $395 |

An open outdoor space is the cheapest option and the most commonly posted. Monthly RV parking, usually a marked space on a paved or gravel lot, lists slightly higher at $99. A roof over the rig, in covered RV storage, nearly doubles the outdoor median. A fully enclosed unit in indoor RV storage almost triples it, and the spread is wide: a quarter of indoor rates are $395 or more.
What storage costs, by length
| 10-19 ft | 141 | $75 | $52.25 | $100 |
| 20-29 ft | 785 | $90 | $60 | $131.15 |
| 30-39 ft | 1,067 | $115 | $75 | $175 |
| 40-49 ft | 1,001 | $142.08 | $90 | $230 |
| 50-59 ft | 382 | $222.29 | $110 | $400 |
| 60 ft | 73 | $301.58 | $135 | $482.50 |
All types combined, so longer bands include more indoor and covered spaces. The 60 ft band holds only spaces listed at exactly 60 ft. Download this table (CSV)
Length is the other big driver. A 40-49 ft space posts nearly twice the median of a 10-19 ft one, and 50-59 ft spaces jump again to $222.29, partly because big-rig spaces are more often covered or indoor. Measure your rig bumper to bumper, including the tongue or hitch, before you ask for a quote.
What storage costs, by state
Outdoor storage is cheapest in the middle of the country: Missouri and Oklahoma post a median $50, Kansas $55, Wyoming $56 and Ohio $59. It is dearest on the coasts and the Gulf: Washington $150, Mississippi $147.50, Florida $145 and California $123. Indoor rates spread even further, from $140 in Maine to $500 in Virginia and $515 in Pennsylvania. Supply plays a part: compare these with facilities per resident on our RV storage supply map.

What it means for you
- Use the median as a yardstick. If a quote is well above the 75th percentile for your type and length, ask what you get for it, such as power, a wash bay, 24-hour access or better security.
- Ask about fees. Posted rates rarely include admin fees, deposits, insurance requirements or lock fees. Ask for the full first-month cost.
- Treat specials as temporary. A first-month discount often resets to the standard rate. Ask how often rates rise; our Rent-Hike Index shows rate-increase complaints growing every year since 2023.
- Weigh the roof against the risk. In hail and sun country, the gap between outdoor and covered may be cheaper than one roof repair. See our hail risk map.
- Book before the rush. Storage searches peak in January, according to The RV Owner's Year; spaces near cities fill first.

How we did this
- In October 2026 we visited the websites of storage facilities in our directory and extracted every posted monthly rate for RV, boat, trailer, vehicle or general vehicle storage. 1,349 facilities posted at least one usable rate, giving 4,872 price points.
- Each rate was tagged by type (outdoor, covered, indoor or monthly parking) and, where stated, by space length. We kept monthly rates between $15 and $1,500; daily, weekly and annual rates and rates for other units were left out.
- We report the median and the 25th and 75th percentiles. A facility that lists several sizes contributes several price points. Length bands use rates that gave a length of 10 to 60 feet.
- State figures are shown only for a state and type with at least 8 posted rates. Facilities that publish prices may differ from those that don't, and posted rates exclude fees, specials and taxes.
