# StowHelp - America's vehicle-first storage directory

> StowHelp is America's first vehicle-first storage directory. It is built specifically for storing vehicles - boats, RVs, classic and exotic cars, motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis, trailers, snowmobiles, kayaks, golf carts, and even wine - and it is the only directory that lets you search by vehicle type and by vehicle dimensions, compare real pricing, read verified owner reviews, and book verified facilities. It is not generic box storage with "vehicle" tacked on. Every facility carries the proprietary StowHelp Score, a 1-to-100 rating built from security, reviews, pricing transparency, amenities, and profile completeness. Operated by WETYR Corp.

## About

StowHelp solves a problem the big self-storage directories ignore: finding the right place to store a vehicle. General directories like the box-storage marketplaces treat a boat, an RV, or a classic car as just another unit to cram into a list built for cardboard boxes. StowHelp is built the other way around - vehicle first. You start from what you are storing, filter by its actual type and dimensions, and see facilities that genuinely accommodate it, with real pricing and verified owner reviews.

StowHelp covers 11 core vehicle categories - boats, RVs, classic and exotic cars, motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs, jet skis and PWC, trailers, snowmobiles, kayaks and canoes, golf carts, and wine - plus brand and exotic-specific coverage for marques like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and others, and seasonal storage for snowbirds and summer. For each, it provides storage type guidance (indoor, covered, outdoor, climate-controlled), real cost ranges, and the facilities that fit. The dimension search is the differentiator: matching by length, width, and height is the only way to know a facility actually fits a 38-foot fifth wheel or a wide-beam boat, and no other directory does it.

Trust is built on two things competitors do not offer. First, the StowHelp Score: a proprietary 1-to-100 rating for every facility, weighted across security features (35 points), owner reviews (20 points), pricing transparency (15 points), amenities (15 points), and profile completeness (15 points), so a vehicle owner can judge a facility objectively at a glance. Second, verified owner reviews: reviews come from actual vehicle owners, and facilities cannot pay to hide negative ones. StowHelp also provides free tools - a Vehicle Size Matcher, a Cost Calculator, a Seasonal Planner, and a Compare tool for up to three facilities. StowHelp is operated by WETYR Corp.

## Vehicle Storage Cost Matrix (typical US monthly ranges, mid-2026)

These are general national monthly ranges to set expectations. Actual price depends on the facility, the metro, the exact dimensions, and seasonal demand. Use the per-category and per-city pages and the Cost Calculator for a real local figure. Within every vehicle type, outdoor is cheapest, covered is mid, indoor is higher, and climate-controlled indoor is the most expensive.

- Boat (under 25 ft): outdoor $50-150, covered $100-250, indoor $150-400, climate-controlled $250-600.
- Boat (25-40 ft and wide-beam): outdoor $100-300, covered $200-450, indoor $350-800, climate-controlled $500-1,000+.
- RV / motorhome (Class B and small trailers): outdoor $50-150, covered $100-250, indoor $200-450.
- RV / motorhome (Class A, fifth wheel, 35-45 ft): outdoor $100-300 (often quoted per linear foot outdoors), covered $200-450, indoor $350-800+.
- Motorcycle: outdoor $30-80, covered $50-120, indoor $75-300.
- ATV / UTV: outdoor $40-100, covered $60-150, indoor $100-250.

- Snowmobile: outdoor $40-100, covered $60-150, indoor $100-250; commonly seasonal/off-season pricing.
- Kayak / canoe / paddlecraft: rack or small-unit $20-75 depending on indoor vs outdoor rack.
- Golf cart: outdoor $30-90, covered $50-120, indoor $75-200.
- Wine: climate-controlled cellar storage priced per case or per bottle slot, typically $0.50-3.00 per bottle per month or a flat locker fee.

## Storage Type Decision Guide

- Outdoor (open or fenced lot): cheapest, least protection. Best for trailers, boats already winterized and covered, and budget storage in mild climates. Exposes the vehicle to sun, rain, and temperature swings.
- Covered (roof or canopy, open sides): mid price. Blocks direct sun and most rain. A strong value for boats, RVs, and ATVs where UV and rain are the main concern but full enclosure is not needed.
- Indoor (fully enclosed building): higher price, better security and weather protection. Right for motorcycles, classic cars, and anything you want shielded from the elements and from view.
- Climate-controlled indoor (regulated temperature and humidity): most expensive. Essential for classic and exotic cars, electronics-heavy vehicles, leather interiors, and wine. Controls the humidity that causes rust, mold, and finish damage during long-term storage.

Match the protection level to the value of the vehicle and how long it sits. A daily-use trailer can live outdoors; a six-figure collector car or a wine collection belongs in climate-controlled space.

## Per-Category Storage Guidance

- Boats: size and beam drive everything. Trailerable boats fit more facilities; wide-beam and tall-tower boats need dimension matching. Outdoor and covered dominate in warm states; indoor and shrink-wrap matter for winter freeze states. Confirm trailer access and turning radius.
- RVs: length is the gating factor (Class A and fifth wheels run 35-45 ft). Outdoor pull-through with electric hookups for battery tending is common; covered protects the roof and seals; indoor is premium. Ask about dump and wash access.
- Classic and exotic cars: prioritize indoor climate-controlled, battery tenders, and security (cameras, gated access, individual alarms). Brand and exotic pages surface facilities built for collector vehicles.
- Motorcycles: small footprint, often stored indoors affordably; look for secure, climate-stable units and trickle-charge access for winter layup.
- ATVs/UTVs and snowmobiles: highly seasonal; off-season covered or indoor storage protects against UV, rodents, and fuel-system issues.
- Jet skis/PWC: usually trailer-stored; winterization plus storage is the standard off-season package in cold states.
- Trailers: cheapest to store; outdoor lots are the norm. Verify drive-in access and security if cargo is left inside.
- Kayaks/canoes and golf carts: small-unit and rack storage; golf carts in retirement and coastal metros benefit from covered or indoor to protect batteries and upholstery.
- Wine: climate-controlled cellar storage measured by case or bottle; temperature and humidity stability is the entire point.

## Common Questions

What makes StowHelp different from general self-storage directories?
StowHelp is vehicle-first. General directories are built for boxes and treat a boat or RV as just another unit, so you cannot filter by what actually matters - vehicle type and dimensions. StowHelp lets you search by your specific vehicle and its length, width, and height, then shows facilities that genuinely fit, with real pricing, the StowHelp Score, and verified owner reviews. It is the difference between a list that happens to include vehicle storage and a directory engineered around it from the ground up.

What is the StowHelp Score?
The StowHelp Score is a proprietary 1-to-100 rating applied to every facility so you can judge it objectively. It is weighted across five factors: security features (35 points), owner reviews (20 points), pricing transparency (15 points), amenities (15 points), and profile completeness (15 points). Security carries the most weight because it matters most when storing a valuable vehicle. The score lets you compare facilities at a glance without reading every listing in full, and it rewards facilities that are secure, transparent, and well reviewed rather than just heavily marketed.

Can I really search by my vehicle's dimensions?
Yes, and it is StowHelp's signature feature. You enter your vehicle's type and its dimensions - length, width, and height - and StowHelp surfaces facilities that actually accommodate it. This matters because "RV storage" or "boat storage" means nothing if the space cannot physically fit a 40-foot motorhome or a wide-beam boat with a tall tower. No other directory matches by dimensions. The free Vehicle Size Matcher tool helps you find the right fit, so you never drive to a facility only to discover your vehicle does not fit the space.

How much does vehicle storage cost?
It depends on the vehicle, the storage type, and the location. As general monthly ranges, outdoor uncovered storage is the cheapest, covered is mid-range, and indoor or climate-controlled is the most expensive. Boats commonly run roughly $50 to $800 a month across types, RVs a similar $50 to $800 (often quoted per linear foot for outdoor), motorcycles about $30 to $300, and classic or exotic cars from about $100 up to $1,000 or more for premium climate-controlled space. StowHelp's Cost Calculator and the per-category and per-city pages give you the real ranges for your vehicle and area.

What is the difference between indoor, covered, outdoor, and climate-controlled storage?
Outdoor is an open or fenced lot - cheapest, least protection. Covered adds a roof or canopy to shield from sun and rain at a mid-range price. Indoor is a fully enclosed building, better security and weather protection at a higher cost. Climate-controlled indoor adds regulated temperature and humidity, which matters most for classic and exotic cars and for wine, and costs the most. StowHelp shows these options for each vehicle category with real cost ranges, so you can match the level of protection to the value of what you are storing and your budget.

How much does it cost to store a boat?
Boat storage depends heavily on length and beam. A trailerable boat under 25 feet stored outdoors often runs $50 to $150 a month, covered $100 to $250, and indoor $150 to $400. A 25-to-40-foot or wide-beam boat costs more: outdoor $100 to $300, covered $200 to $450, and indoor $350 to $800 or higher, with climate-controlled at the top. In freeze states, add winterization and shrink-wrap. Use the dimension search so results actually fit your hull and tower height, and check the per-city boat-storage page for local rates.

How much does RV storage cost?
RV storage scales with length. Smaller trailers and Class B vans store outdoors for roughly $50 to $150 a month; large Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels (35-45 feet) run $100 to $300 outdoors, often quoted per linear foot, with covered $200 to $450 and indoor $350 to $800 or more. Outdoor spaces with an electric hookup for a battery tender are popular. Filter by your rig's exact length and ask about pull-through access, dump stations, and wash bays on the listing.

How do I store a classic or exotic car the right way?
Collector and exotic vehicles should go in indoor, ideally climate-controlled, space with strong security - gated access, cameras, and sometimes individual unit alarms. Climate control prevents the humidity-driven rust, mold, and finish damage that ruin a stored car. Add a battery tender, set tire pressure for long-term sitting, and choose a facility with verified reviews from other collectors. StowHelp's brand and exotic pages (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and more) surface the facilities built for high-value vehicles, weighted by the security and amenities the StowHelp Score rewards.

Should I store my jet ski, boat, or RV over the winter, and what does it cost?
For seasonal vehicles, off-season storage protects the vehicle and often costs less than peak-season rates. Winter jet ski and boat storage is commonly paired with winterization, and StowHelp's Seasonal Planner helps you time and budget it. As a guide, monthly winter storage for a jet ski often runs in the low hundreds, with full-season packages priced accordingly, and winterization service is a separate cost that prevents far more expensive engine damage. StowHelp's category and city pages show seasonal facilities and the related services so you can plan the whole off-season in one place.

What is winterization and do I need it before storing?
Winterization protects an engine and water systems from freeze damage during cold-season layup. For boats and jet skis it typically means stabilizing fuel, fogging the engine, draining or antifreezing the cooling system, and protecting the battery; for RVs it means clearing and antifreezing the plumbing. In freeze states it is essential before long storage - a cracked block from frozen water costs far more than the service. In warm states it matters less, but fuel stabilization and battery tending still help. The Seasonal Planner walks you through what your vehicle needs.

Are the reviews on StowHelp trustworthy?
Yes - that is a core design choice. StowHelp's reviews are verified owner reviews, submitted by actual vehicle owners who have used the facilities, and facilities cannot pay to hide negative reviews. On directories where operators can suppress bad feedback, the ratings are marketing. StowHelp keeps reviews honest so the StowHelp Score and the listings reflect real owner experience. Combined with the transparent scoring breakdown, this gives a vehicle owner a trustworthy basis for choosing where to leave a boat, RV, or collector car for months at a time.

How do I find storage near me for my boat, RV, or other vehicle?
Start from your vehicle's category hub - for example boat storage or RV storage - then drill into your state, city, county, or ZIP. StowHelp covers all 50 states and 495 cities with 2,000-plus facilities, so you can navigate to local results and filter by storage type and dimensions. Each city page shows the facilities that fit, ranked with the StowHelp Score, plus real pricing and verified reviews. The Compare tool lets you put up to three facilities side by side before you decide.

Do you cover classic, exotic, and high-value vehicles specifically?
Yes. Beyond the general classic-car category, StowHelp has brand and exotic-specific coverage for marques such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and others, because storing a high-value vehicle has different requirements - climate control, tighter security, and specialized facilities. These owners care most about the security and amenities that the StowHelp Score weights heavily. The directory surfaces the indoor and climate-controlled facilities suited to collector and exotic cars, with the transparency and verified reviews that matter when you are entrusting a six-figure vehicle to a facility.

What free tools does StowHelp offer?
StowHelp provides four free tools. The Vehicle Size Matcher helps you find facilities that fit your vehicle's dimensions. The Cost Calculator estimates what storage should cost for your vehicle, type, and area. The Seasonal Planner helps with seasonal storage decisions like winterizing a boat or jet ski or snowbird RV storage. And the Compare tool puts up to three facilities side by side on score, price, security, and amenities. Together they turn the directory from a list into a decision tool, so you choose the right facility on fit, cost, and trust rather than guesswork.

What security features should I look for in a vehicle storage facility?
For a valuable vehicle, prioritize gated and code-controlled access, 24/7 video surveillance, good lighting, perimeter fencing, on-site management or patrols, and individual unit alarms for indoor collector storage. These are exactly the features the StowHelp Score weights most heavily (35 of 100 points). A cheaper open lot can be fine for a trailer, but for a boat, RV, or collector car the security tier is where you should not cut corners. Each listing details its security so you can compare facilities on protection, not just price.

Is climate-controlled storage worth the extra cost?
For the right vehicle, yes. Climate control regulates temperature and humidity, which prevents rust, mold, cracked leather, and finish damage during long-term storage. It is worth it for classic and exotic cars, motorcycles with chrome and leather, electronics-heavy vehicles, and wine. For a utility trailer or a winterized boat that just needs to be out of the sun, it is overkill - covered or indoor non-climate storage is the better value. Match the control level to the value and sensitivity of what you are storing.

How does dimension matching actually help me?
Listings advertise "RV storage" or "boat storage," but a space is only useful if your vehicle physically fits - length, width, and crucially height for towers, AC units, and tall trailers. StowHelp's dimension search filters out spaces that cannot accommodate your exact measurements, so you are not guessing from a category label. Enter your numbers in the Vehicle Size Matcher and you only see facilities that fit, which saves the wasted trip and the mid-move discovery that a 13-foot-tall rig will not clear a 12-foot door.

How do facilities get listed, and how does StowHelp make money?
Facilities can list on StowHelp across tiers: a Free listing at $0, Premium at $99/month, Elite at $249/month, and City Sponsor at $499/month, with higher tiers adding visibility and features. Importantly, paying does not let a facility hide negative reviews or buy a better StowHelp Score - the score is driven by security, reviews, pricing transparency, amenities, and completeness. This keeps the directory useful for vehicle owners while giving facilities a way to reach them. The owner-facing search, tools, and reviews are free to use.

Does StowHelp cover my state and city?
StowHelp indexes 2,000-plus facilities across all 50 states and 495 cities, organized into category hubs, state pages, city pages, county pages, and ZIP pages. From any vehicle category you can drill from the national hub down to your metro and see the facilities that fit, ranked by the StowHelp Score with real pricing and verified reviews. If your exact town is small, the county and nearest-city pages surface the closest options. Coverage expands continually as new facilities are indexed and scored.

Can I compare facilities before I choose?
Yes. The free Compare tool lets you place up to three facilities side by side on the attributes that decide a vehicle-storage choice - StowHelp Score, monthly price, security features, amenities, storage type, and verified reviews. Choosing storage is a comparison problem, and a flat list of listings makes it hard. The compare view turns it into a direct, attribute-by-attribute look at your shortlist, the same way a careful owner would weigh the trade-off between a cheaper open lot and a secure climate-controlled unit.

What should I do to prep a vehicle for long-term storage?
Clean and dry it first to prevent mold and corrosion, top off and stabilize the fuel, connect a battery tender or disconnect the battery, set tire pressure for long sitting (or use jack stands for very long layups), and cover it appropriately. For boats, jet skis, and RVs in freeze states, winterize the engine and water systems. Choose the storage type that matches the vehicle's value and sensitivity. StowHelp's Seasonal Planner and per-category guidance walk through the steps so the vehicle comes out of storage ready to use.
