Car and vehicle storage in Echuca
A car parked on the street or under a tree for months does not come back the way you left it. Sun, hail, birds and the odd curious passer-by all take a toll. A lock-up unit at Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, keeps it under a roof and behind a gate until you need it.
We have 300 drive-up units on one site, including tall-door units. Gate access is 8am–8pm, 7 days. Call (03) 4410 8566 with your vehicle’s length and height.
$1 first 4 weeks for new customers, then the normal rate. 3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026.
Who stores a vehicle with us
- Travelling for a while. Heading off around Australia in the van, or overseas, and the second car needs a home.
- Working away. Contract, seasonal or fly-in fly-out work where the car sits for weeks at a time.
- Short on space at home. A second car, a weekend car or a ute that blocks the driveway.
- Classic, show and project cars. A vehicle you want out of the weather between runs, or a restoration waiting for parts.
- Between houses. Settlement dates that leave you a garage short.
Which unit for a car?
| Vehicle | Starting size | Rate (per 4 weeks) |
|---|---|---|
| A car | 6.0m × 3.0m | $254 |
| A car that needs a taller door, or more width | 6.0m × 4.0m H | $266 |
| A longer vehicle | 8.0m × 3.0m | $320 |
| Large vehicle that needs turning room | 9.0m × 4.0m H | $411 |
These follow the labels on our live sizes and prices table. Measure the overall length, including tow bar and bike rack, and the overall height, including roof racks, pods and aerials. Then call us so we can match a unit and confirm vacancy.
As a guide, most sedans and hatchbacks are well under 5 m long, and many dual-cab utes are a little over 5 m. Check your owner’s manual rather than guessing, and allow room to open a door and walk around the car.
Getting a car ready for storage
- Wash and dry it before it goes in. Bird droppings and dust left on paint do damage over time.
- Clean the inside. Remove food, rubbish and anything that might attract mice; rural Victoria has mouse years.
- Check the tyres and pump them to the recommended pressure. For a long stay, move the car a short distance every so often so the tyres don’t flat-spot.
- Look after the battery. Ask us about battery and fuel when you call, and follow your manufacturer’s advice for long storage.
- Use a breathable car cover if you have one. Avoid plastic sheets that trap moisture.
- Leave no loose fuel. Spare jerry cans and petrol tins can’t be stored.
- Tell your insurer. Let them know where the car is kept, and check your cover while it is off the road.
Picking it up again
Gates open 8am–8pm, 7 days, so you can collect after work or on a weekend. There is no 24-hour access, so plan a late return around that. If the car is unregistered, arrange a trailer or tow; trucks can drive in.
What else is on site
