--- title: "How Much Does Car Storage Cost in Canada? 2026 Prices" description: "Monthly and winter car storage prices across ten Canadian regions for 2026: outdoor, covered, indoor, heated and private unit, and what moves the price." url: https://car-storage.ca/guides/car-storage-cost-canada/ last_updated: 2026-10-24 --- # How much car storage costs in Canada Outdoor parking is the cheapest, a heated indoor space the most expensive, and a city like Vancouver or Toronto costs more than Winnipeg or London. Here are starting prices and what drives them. ## Starting prices by region Monthly rates, except the winter package, which is for the whole season. | Region | Outdoor | Covered | Indoor | Heated | 10 x 20 unit | Winter package | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Toronto & GTA | $99 | $135 | $200 | $250 | $270 | $1,250 | | Ottawa | $75 | $100 | $175 | $250 | $190 | $900 | | Hamilton | $75 | $100 | $160 | $225 | $165 | $850 | | London | $65 | $90 | $150 | $210 | $195 | $800 | | Kitchener-Waterloo | $75 | $100 | $155 | $215 | $195 | $850 | | Montreal | $75 | $100 | $175 | $250 | $250 | $900 | | Vancouver | $150 | $195 | $300 | $350 | $310 | $1,000 | | Calgary | $75 | $110 | $130 | $200 | $200 | $1,200 | | Edmonton | $75 | $105 | $110 | $150 | $200 | $700 | | Winnipeg | $65 | $90 | $110 | $150 | $120 | $700 | Starting prices in CAD before tax, from published storage rates and market estimates, October 2026. The facility, your car and the dates set the final price. ## What changes the price - Protection: Outdoor is cheapest. Covered parking costs a little more, unheated indoor more again, and heated or climate-controlled the most. - City: Vancouver is the highest in our table and Winnipeg and London are among the lowest. Space near downtown is scarce. - Private or shared: A private 10 x 20 unit usually costs more than a shared indoor spot, but the car, tools and tires can stay behind one door. - Length of stay: Short stays often cost more per month. A prepaid winter can cost less. Ask for both. See [short-term storage](https://car-storage.ca/storage/short-term-car-storage/). - Extras: Pickup and delivery, a battery tender (from $20/month), a wash before storage (from $75) and spring prep (from $100) are separate lines. ## A worked example A Toronto owner stores a car for five months, November to March, in an unheated indoor space. At from $200/month that is about $1,000. Add a battery tender at from $20/month for five months, about $100, and a flatbed each way at from $150 one way, about $300. That comes to about $1,400 before tax. A winter package in the same city starts from $1,250 per winter and may bundle some of those extras, so ask what is in it. These are starting prices, not quotes. Your car, the dates and the facility set the final number. ## Work out your total Pick a storage type and region, then add the extras you want. - Indoor, unheated: Toronto & GTA $200/month; Ottawa $175/month; Hamilton $160/month; London $150/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $155/month; Montreal $175/month; Vancouver $300/month; Calgary $130/month; Edmonton $110/month; Winnipeg $110/month - Heated or climate-controlled: Toronto & GTA $250/month; Ottawa $250/month; Hamilton $225/month; London $210/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $215/month; Montreal $250/month; Vancouver $350/month; Calgary $200/month; Edmonton $150/month; Winnipeg $150/month - Covered parking: Toronto & GTA $135/month; Ottawa $100/month; Hamilton $100/month; London $90/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $100/month; Montreal $100/month; Vancouver $195/month; Calgary $110/month; Edmonton $105/month; Winnipeg $90/month - Outdoor parking spot: Toronto & GTA $99/month; Ottawa $75/month; Hamilton $75/month; London $65/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $75/month; Montreal $75/month; Vancouver $150/month; Calgary $75/month; Edmonton $75/month; Winnipeg $65/month - Private 10 x 20 unit: Toronto & GTA $270/month; Ottawa $190/month; Hamilton $165/month; London $195/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $195/month; Montreal $250/month; Vancouver $310/month; Calgary $200/month; Edmonton $200/month; Winnipeg $120/month - Short-term storage: Toronto & GTA $125/month; Ottawa $95/month; Hamilton $95/month; London $85/month; Kitchener-Waterloo $95/month; Montreal $95/month; Vancouver $190/month; Calgary $95/month; Edmonton $90/month; Winnipeg $80/month ## Prices by type Lowest starting price across the regions we cover. - [Outdoor parking spot](https://car-storage.ca/storage/outdoor-car-storage/): from $65/month - [Covered parking](https://car-storage.ca/storage/covered-car-storage/): from $90/month - [Indoor storage, unheated](https://car-storage.ca/storage/indoor-car-storage/): from $110/month - [Heated or climate-controlled indoor](https://car-storage.ca/storage/heated-car-storage/): from $150/month - [Private drive-up unit, 10 x 20 ft](https://car-storage.ca/storage/private-garage-unit/): from $120/month - [Winter package, indoor, November to April](https://car-storage.ca/storage/winter-car-storage/): from $700 per winter Starting prices in CAD before tax, from published storage rates and market estimates, October 2026.

It is also the least protected. See [storing a car outside](https://car-storage.ca/guides/storing-a-car-outside-in-winter/). **Is heated storage worth it?** For a classic, an exotic or a car with delicate trim, many owners think so. For a daily-driver’s second car, unheated indoor is often enough. See [indoor vs outdoor](https://car-storage.ca/guides/indoor-vs-outdoor-car-storage/). **Do I pay in advance?** Often some of it. Ask about the deposit, the billing period and what happens if you collect the car early. See [how to compare quotes](https://car-storage.ca/guides/how-to-compare-car-storage-quotes/). **Does the price include tax?** No. Our starting prices are before tax. ## Related - [Car storage prices and calculator](https://car-storage.ca/pricing/) - [Indoor vs outdoor car storage](https://car-storage.ca/guides/indoor-vs-outdoor-car-storage/) - [How to compare car storage quotes](https://car-storage.ca/guides/how-to-compare-car-storage-quotes/) --- Find a spot: https://car-storage.ca/request-a-spot/ · Email: info@car-storage.ca
