Proper Outdoor Vehicle Storage: Tips and Risks

Open guarded lots are one of the most popular formats for storing cars and special equipment. This option is convenient for car dealers, transport companies, taxi fleets, and construction organizations. However, to keep vehicles in good condition and maintain their value, it’s important to consider several factors.

Main risks of outdoor storage

1. Weather impact – UV exposure, rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations accelerate wear and tear of the body and parts.
2. Corrosion and paint damage – especially during the winter season due to road reagents.
3. Security concerns – risk of theft or damage without proper protection.

Tips for proper storage

• Regular inspections: checking vehicle condition and recording findings in inspection reports.
• Anti-corrosion protection: applying protective coatings, especially for the body and undercarriage.
• Battery and electronics monitoring: preventing battery discharge during long-term storage.
• Security and surveillance systems: round-the-clock monitoring minimizes theft and damage risks.
• Insurance: an additional layer of protection against unforeseen situations.
