Car storage Glasgow area

[Orchid1]

Bit of a long shot but thought I would ask. Does anyone know any decent car storage places in the Glasgow area or even a secure place with garages to rent that are big enough for a full size saloon?

I'm toying with the idea of getting a Mercedes 190 (W201) as a second car for weekends in the summer or just whenever the fancy takes me but I don't want to leave it parked outside on the street the whole time.

I've looked at Waterside Classics in Rutherglen however it looks the kind of place that is only really for show cars and doesn't have 24 h access which would be more ideal. Also looked at Gumtree but it's either huge industrial units or peoples own private garages that are barely big enough for a Fiat 500 let alone a saloon.

Any suggestions welcome.

From time to time, people with underground car parks advertise to rent out their space.

I pay £500 a year for an undergorund parking space in finneston. It's got a cctv camera pointing straight at the car, 24hour attendant and remotely operated security gates. (negotiated discount by paying yearly)

They get snapped up quickly. Best bet is to set up a gumtree alert for "underground parking"


Edit: here's one after a quick search:

Thanks i'd never considered underground car parks as i'd always assumed they were unsecure but will definitely look into it more.

Car Storage
Located in Glasgow, Scotland. Our premises are safe, secure and dehumidified. The storage climate is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year by automatically controlled dehumidifiers drying the air to 55% relative humidity. This delivers the optimum environment to store and protect your car. Preserving the metal components but equally importantly the leather and wooden materials which can deteriorate if the environment is too dry.


The floor is painted concrete with a membrane underneath, this prevents moisture rising up from the ground. The painted surface remains dust free, which is easily maintained, providing a clean and pleasant environment for car storage.

Given the size of the building the only way to create the perfect 55% relative humidity was to invest in an absorption desiccant system controlled by a humidistat. This means every vehicle is maintained the way it should be protecting our clients’ pride and joy as well as prolonging the life of an investment.

No mechanical work is undertaken on site to limit the risk to vehicles in our care.

Located within easy reach of the M8, M74 and M80 motorways, though not full disclosed publicly for security purposes, our site is discreet. Physically strong, the building has the highest security locks (gen 6/7) and a Red Care advanced alarm system. The building is devoid of any markings or branding.

We’re the car storage professionals and invite you to contact us regarding your requirements – long term, winter storage or interim collection and delivery (to and from various events such as Rally, Classic Car Shows, Racetracks).
