View Full Version : Car storage in the MAR?

A college buddy of mine just moved over to DC from San Jose. He's got a beater VW and a Nissan 350 Z. Anyway, he's staying with his GF right now in DC while he is shopping around for a house. Of course there is very little parking in DC, so the Z is at his work in Germantown and he commutes with the Passat.

He's looking for a place to store his car. He's not sure how safe a self-storage place is, and is wondering if anyone has a garage spot or even driveway spot in a quiet neighborhood he can keep the car. Not sure what he'd be willing to pay, but looking to see if anything is even available. Would be for about 2 months until he can find and close on a place.

My parents would prolly be cool with it, but their place is hella far - in Stafford. Something on the beltway would be best. I don't understand what it is with retirees and moving to the country... :confused

Thanks,
Ryan

Id offer my place, but Tina would be pissed to have another car in the driveway :)

What dates does he need this storage?

Public storage in Germantown would run $325/month. The place is alarmed.
Generally public storage is expensive anywhere in the MAR.

Megatron -

I "could" help out your friend; but, not sure if I can do "two" months. I can apply for a "one" month pass and your friend can park in the street in Cameron Station (very safe -- patroled -- basically, a snobbish enclosed area). However, I cannot get a two month pass ... it "might" be possible for me to renew his pass for him ...

Alternatively, I have another way -- and we could discuss it ... if he would like. I am located off duke street and 395 in cameron station.

thanks all! i'll get in touch with him with all the options. my parents said it was cool too. they just put a wrap around driveway on the house so there is plenty of room.
