Looking to store a car, truck, boat, camper, trailer or RV in Ottawa?
If you have a vehicle that you are either not using now or won’t be using for quite some time, Ottawa indoor car storage, RV storage or boat storage in Ottawa is your best bet.
Storing a Car (or Truck) for a Longer Duration
During the coronavirus global pandemic, many cars have been sitting on the street, not driven.
City of Ottawa bylaw officers will be ticketing cars that have been parked on the street for longer than the posted limit (or non-posted limit according to bylaw, which is overnight or three hours in daytime) – starting in early July 2020. Cars parked indefinitely risk getting towed.
In addition to being a violation of Ottawa bylaw, it is also not safe for a car or other vehicle to remain outside indefinitely.
Whether you have a car or truck that you’re not currently driving due to financial reasons, no longer working at an officer, or other COVID-19-related matters – or you know you will be away for an indefinite period of time – long-term vehicle storage in Ottawa is an excellent idea.
At Acceptable Storage, our safe and secure facilities include heated car storage in Ottawa, as well as heated motorcycle storage. We can also accommodate trucks of virtually any size or configuration at our Ottawa storage location.

Do you own an RV, trailer or camper?
If so, you know that the season for enjoying the RV life in and around Ottawa is regrettably short.
We’re RV enthusiasts here at Acceptable Storage – did you know we have a sister company next door called Travel-Mor Trailer Sales?
We do! And here we sell RVs, trailers and more.
Thus, we offer safe, secure storage facilities for RVs, trailers, campers and other vehicles that you’ll want to store for the winter.
Now, of course, you could keep your RV outside during the Ottawa winter. That means a lot of snow and ice, and then it involves a lot of winterizing prep ahead of the season as well as RV de-winterizing before you can take your rig out onto the open road once again for the spring and summer.
Instead, why not take advantage of our Ottawa RV storage here at Acceptable Storage & Travel-Mor?
We’ll take great care of your rig, from the time we accept it for storage in the late fall, until you’re ready to pick it up again in the springtime.
Our RV storage facilities are indoors, making snow and ice a non-factor.
It’s also a safe and secure location, with digital access control, security fencing, security cameras and 24-hour monitoring & staffing.

Winter Boat Storage in Ottawa
Okay, so we’ve covered cars, trucks, RVs, trailers and more for our vehicle storage. What other kinds of vehicles do we store at Acceptable Storage in Ottawa? Why, boats, of course!
Our boat storage services are comprehensive in nature and much appreciate by our clients who are boating enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, Ottawa has a rather limited boating season.
The options for storing your boat in the winter are either in your yard or at a storage facility.
Boat storage at home leaves your watercraft susceptible to all sorts of winter conditions, from bitter cold temperatures to snow, ice, wind and more. It’s also vulnerable to theft; anyone who eyes your treasured pleasure craft could just drive away with it!
Instead, why not store your boat at a safe, secure, dedicated Ottawa boat storage facility?
Boat storage at Acceptable Storage in Ottawa is located within a fenced-in compound, complete with electronic security surveillance, motion-activated area lighting, keypad access control and much more.
Access at our boat storage facility is available year-round, 24 hours a day.
We have boat-washing stations as well.
Looking to winterize your boat? We offer basic package boat winterization as well as full package boat winterization. Need outboard motor winterization? We have that, too.
Let us know what you need, and we’ll set you up!
Got a canoe or kayak that you want to store? Whether it’s for the winter or for the whole year round, we have a dedicated Ottawa kayak and canoe storage facility that features a covered canoe rack with anti-theft locking devices.

What are my options for winter vehicle storage in Ottawa?
Acceptable Storage offers heated, monitored indoor storage for cars and motorcycles, and outdoor gated storage for RVs and boats, plus rack storage for canoes and kayaks. The Bank Street site has over 20 acres and more than 700 numbered RV storage sites.
Is indoor or outdoor storage better for a car in winter?
Indoor heated storage protects a car best, since it avoids freezing temperatures, road salt and snow load. Outdoor storage costs less and suits RVs and boats that cannot fit indoors. Acceptable Storage offers both. Classic, luxury and electric vehicles benefit most from heated space.
How do I prepare an RV for winter storage in Ottawa?
Empty the fresh, grey and black water tanks, clean the interior, remove all food and check seals and windows for gaps. Cover vents and protect the roof from snow and sun. Acceptable Storage has a free wash area and a dump station.
How do I winterize a boat for storage?
Clean the boat, drain all water systems, protect the engine and cover the hull before storage. Remove food and personal items. Acceptable Storage stores boats outdoors on gated land with wide lanes, so a fitted cover or wrap adds protection against snow and wind. Follow your engine manufacturer’s winterizing steps.
Can I get to my vehicle during the winter?
Yes. Acceptable Storage provides access during customer access hours, and its own plow and tractor keep lanes open after heavy snowfall. We’re happy to share the current access hours when you reserve.
How secure is the vehicle storage lot?
The property is fenced, gated and monitored by cameras, with staff checking the grounds on a schedule. Only permitted customers can enter. Heated vehicle storage adds a monitored indoor space for cars and motorcycles that need extra protection.
How much does winter vehicle storage cost in Ottawa?
Pricing depends on the vehicle type, size and storage length, and we’re happy to give you an exact quote. Call 613-822-7666 or request one with your vehicle’s length and your storage dates. New RV and boat storage clients receive one month of free storage.
When should I book winter storage?
Book before the first hard freeze, usually in October or early November in Ottawa, so you can choose your space and prepare the vehicle. Acceptable Storage offers both short-term and long-term storage, from a single season to a full year.
