Car, Motorbike & Trailer Storage in Kent

Somewhere secure to leave a car, motorbike or trailer in Kent — locked inside its own 20ft container on a gated, CCTV-monitored yard in Paddock Wood, with 24/7 access whenever you want it back.

Stored inside, not parked outside

Most vehicle storage near here is a space on a field or a corner of a yard, with your car sat out in the weather next to everyone else’s. Ours is different: your vehicle goes inside its own 20ft shipping container, and you put your own padlock on the door. Nobody else has a key, and nobody walking past can see what’s in there.

The containers are dry, ventilated and damp-proofed, standing on hardstanding rather than grass — so the yard works in January as well as July, and you’re not driving off a soft verge in the wet.

What we take

Cars	Yes. A 20ft container takes a standard car.
Motorbikes	Yes — with room for the bike and its kit.
Trailers	Yes — box trailers, plant trailers, general trailers.
Caravans & motorhomes	No. We don’t store these, so please don’t make the trip.
Boats	Depends on the size — give us a ring and describe it and we’ll tell you straight away.

Why people use it

The site

Security	Electric gate on fob entry, palisade fencing, CCTV recorded and monitored 24/7, lit at night.
Your unit	Your own 20ft container, your own padlock — only you hold the key.
Access	24/7 by fob once you’re set up. Drive right up to the container; no height restriction at the gate.
Power	There’s external lighting across the yard, but no electricity inside the containers — worth knowing if you were hoping to keep a battery on charge.
Minimum term	One month, then 14 days’ notice when you want to leave.
Insurance	We’re covered by public liability insurance. Cover for the vehicle itself is something you arrange.

Straight answers

Do you store motorbikes?

Yes. A motorbike goes into its own 20ft container the same way a car does — locked, dry and out of sight, with room for the bike and its kit.

Do you store caravans or motorhomes?

No. We know it’s a common request, but it isn’t something we offer — we’d rather say so plainly than have you drive over.

What about boats?

It depends on the size of the boat. Give us a ring, describe it, and we’ll tell you straight away whether it will work.

Can I get to my vehicle at any time?

Yes. Once you’re set up you have 24/7 fob access to the yard and your own container. New customers arrange a time to come and see the site and do the paperwork first.

How quickly can I move a vehicle in?

Usually the same day. Ring or email us and we’ll sort a time to meet you at the site.

Is there power in the container? Can I keep a battery on charge?

No — there’s lighting across the yard, but no electricity inside the containers, so a battery conditioner won’t work. Disconnect the battery, or take it home to charge between visits.

Can I keep tools, spare fuel or oil in there with it?

Tools and kit, yes. Spare fuel, oil, paint and gas bottles, no — flammable substances are on the list of things our terms don’t allow in a unit.

Do I need my own insurance?

We carry public liability insurance. Cover for the vehicle itself is yours to arrange — check your policy allows for the vehicle being kept in storage off the public road, and tell your insurer where it is.

Do I need to SORN it?

If the vehicle is off the road and you’ve stopped taxing it, the DVLA requires you to declare it SORN. That’s between you and the DVLA — it isn’t something we arrange.

What’s the minimum term, and how do I leave?

One month minimum. When you want to leave, give us 14 days’ notice.

How do I pay?

Bank transfer, standing order or cash, monthly.

Where we are

The yard is on Queen Street in Paddock Wood, between Tonbridge and Maidstone — around fifteen minutes from Royal Tunbridge Wells and twenty from Maidstone. We serve west Kent: Tonbridge, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Staplehurst, Marden, Cranbrook and the villages in between.

Because vehicles are stored in a container rather than a parking bay, it’s worth the drive even if you’re not local — you’re leaving it locked and out of sight rather than on a field.

We also offer removals across the same area, and the full range of container storage for homes and businesses.
