FAQs

Where are we located?

We are conveniently located right next to where the A23 meets the A272. We are 15 minutes from Gatwick Airport and only 20 minutes from the M25.

How often can I access my car?

During our opening hours of Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm, you are welcome to have access to your car whenever suits you. Any out of hours or weekend access is available upon request.

Who has access to the vehicle vault?

Only our internal team will ever be granted access to the vehicle vault. Fingerprint recognition enables us to uphold minimal access to where your car will be stored.

Can you deliver my car to me?

Sure! We have the facility to be able to deliver your car to you whenever you want it, wherever you want it. The cost for this will depend on the delivery location.

Yes. We prefer to work on a 12 month commitment for all our storage agreements, but we can accommodate whatever you may require.

Do you offer a multiple vehicle discount?

Sure! The more cars you have in store with us, the better your agreement will look. Contact us directly for more information on this.

We’d advise you to keep your car insured with your current provider at all times, but if you do require it to be insured, we can assist with this.

We're geared up to make homes for anything from vintage classics right up to modern hypercars.
