Written by Daniel Duran — Owner & Warehouse Solutions Specialist, 16+ years in Denver moving, logistics, and warehousing. Boxstars has operated in Denver since 2016, serving 200+ Colorado businesses with 100,000 square feet of warehouse and outdoor storage space, maintaining a 5.0-star rating from 106+ Google reviews.
What Types of Vehicles Can Be Stored at Boxstars Denver?
Boxstars accepts recreational vehicles (RVs), boats and watercraft, trailers (enclosed and flatbed), motorcycles, ATVs, classic cars, work trucks, and commercial vehicles in its fenced outdoor storage yard. The 5555 Joliet Street facility maintains 24/7 perimeter fencing with controlled gate access, accommodating vehicles from 10 feet to 40+ feet in length.[1]
The outdoor yard suits vehicles that do not require climate control — the Denver facility operates as an ambient warehouse with outdoor vehicle parking. For clients requiring indoor climate-controlled vehicle storage (such as high-value classic cars sensitive to temperature fluctuations), Boxstars can arrange specialized accommodations on a case-by-case basis. The standard vehicle storage offering utilizes the outdoor secure yard adjacent to the main warehouse building.
Contractors storing work trailers and equipment represent approximately 30% of Boxstars’ customer base, while recreational vehicle owners (boats stored during winter months, RVs between camping seasons) comprise another significant segment. The facility’s proximity to I-70 — 2 minutes from the interstate and 20 minutes from Denver International Airport — makes daily access practical for both commercial and personal vehicle storage needs.[2]
How Much Does Vehicle Storage Cost in Denver?
Boxstars charges vehicle storage rates based on square footage occupied, starting at $4 per square foot per month for outdoor block storage, with no contracts, setup fees, or security deposits required. A typical 20-foot enclosed trailer occupies approximately 160 square feet (20 ft × 8 ft), resulting in a monthly rate of $640. Smaller vehicles like motorcycles (approximately 20 square feet) cost around $80 per month.
The transparent pricing model eliminates hidden fees common in Denver vehicle storage facilities. Unlike competitors requiring 6-month or 12-month contracts, Boxstars operates on a month-to-month basis — clients pay only for the months they use the space. The facility does not charge gate access fees, administration fees, or insurance markups beyond the base square footage rate.[3]
For businesses storing multiple vehicles (fleet parking for contractors, dealership overflow, rental equipment), Boxstars offers volume pricing. A construction company storing five work trailers (800 total square feet) would pay approximately $3,200 per month, with potential discounts for annual commitments. The no-contract policy allows seasonal businesses to scale storage up during peak months and down during slow periods without penalty.
What Security Features Protect Stored Vehicles?
The Boxstars vehicle storage yard features 24/7 perimeter fencing, controlled gate access with individualized entry codes, and on-site warehouse staff presence Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM MST. The facility maintains Warehouse Legal Liability insurance, General Liability coverage, and Workers’ Compensation insurance, providing $1 million in liability protection for stored property.[4]
Vehicle owners receive unique gate access codes programmed for their storage period, creating an audit trail of facility access. The fenced perimeter eliminates casual visibility from Joliet Street, deterring opportunistic theft. While the facility does not operate 24/7 video surveillance as a standard feature, the industrial park location experiences consistent daytime activity from adjacent businesses, providing passive monitoring during business hours.
Clients storing high-value vehicles (classic cars, custom motorcycles, luxury RVs exceeding $150,000) should maintain their own comprehensive vehicle insurance. Boxstars’ Warehouse Legal Liability coverage protects against facility negligence but does not replace personal vehicle insurance for theft, weather damage, or vandalism. The facility recommends clients verify their homeowners or vehicle insurance policies extend coverage to off-premises storage locations.[5]
Can I Access My Vehicle After Hours or on Weekends?
Boxstars provides 24/7 gate access to the vehicle storage yard for all active clients, despite warehouse office hours of Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM MST. Vehicle owners receive personalized gate codes functioning at any time, allowing weekend retrieval for camping trips, boat launches, or contractor job site needs without advance scheduling.
The self-service access model differentiates Boxstars from attended storage lots requiring appointment-based vehicle retrieval. A Denver homeowner storing an RV can arrive Saturday morning at 6 AM, enter the gate code, hook up the vehicle, and depart for the mountains — no staff coordination required. The facility layout provides sufficient maneuvering space for full-size RVs and truck-trailer combinations to enter, turn, and exit without assistance.
For clients requiring vehicle loading or unloading assistance (moving boats onto trailers, connecting fifth-wheel RVs, equipment transfers), warehouse manager Kyle Ronemous or warehouse manager Jose Ramirez can be scheduled during regular weekday business hours at no additional charge. The 48-hour onboarding standard applies to vehicle storage clients — most accounts activate within two business days of initial contact.[6]
How Does Vehicle Storage Integrate with Other Boxstars Services?
Boxstars clients frequently combine vehicle storage with warehouse space rental, commercial storage, and cross-docking services — a contractor might store work trailers outdoors while maintaining indoor inventory in the 100,000-square-foot warehouse. The integrated logistics model allows businesses to consolidate multiple storage needs at a single Montbello Industrial Park location.
E-commerce sellers using Boxstars for fulfillment services (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon FBA integration) often add vehicle storage for delivery vans or equipment trailers. A DTC brand operating a 200-pallet warehouse account can park its box truck in the outdoor yard for $400-500 per month, eliminating the need for separate vehicle storage contracts across Denver. The facility’s proximity to I-70 enables efficient daily routes — load inventory in the morning, park the vehicle on-site overnight, repeat.[7]
The no-minimums policy extends to vehicle storage: clients can rent a single motorcycle space without committing to warehouse pallet storage. Conversely, existing warehouse clients (retail brands, alcohol distributors, medical equipment companies) add vehicle storage as needed without renegotiating contracts or paying setup fees. Daniel Duran’s 16+ years in Denver logistics enables custom solutions — a flooring contractor storing both material pallets and work trailers receives unified billing and coordinated access.

What Are the Alternatives to Outdoor Vehicle Storage in Denver?
Denver vehicle owners choose between outdoor uncovered storage ($50-150/month at self-storage facilities), outdoor covered storage ($150-300/month), indoor climate-controlled storage ($200-500/month), and on-street parking (free but unprotected). Boxstars’ outdoor fenced yard occupies the middle tier — more secure than open self-storage lots, less expensive than indoor climate-controlled units.[8]
Self-storage chains like Public Storage and Extra Space Storage offer vehicle parking at $100-200 per month for uncovered spaces, but charge premium rates ($250-400) for covered carports. These facilities typically require 1-month to 3-month advance notice for large vehicle spaces, as RV and boat storage sells out during summer months. Boxstars’ industrial location and 100,000-square-foot footprint provide greater space availability and flexible month-to-month terms.
Indoor climate-controlled vehicle storage — appropriate for classic cars, vintage motorcycles, and high-value collectors — costs $300-600 per month at specialty facilities. Boxstars does not position its outdoor yard as a climate-controlled solution; the ambient warehouse environment suits work vehicles, recreational equipment, and daily-use trailers rather than automotive collections. For clients requiring temperature stability, Boxstars can arrange climate-controlled accommodations on request, though the standard offering remains outdoor fenced storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to store my vehicle at Boxstars?
Boxstars maintains Warehouse Legal Liability and General Liability insurance covering facility negligence, but clients should maintain their own comprehensive vehicle insurance. Personal auto policies or specialty RV/boat insurance protect against theft, weather damage, and vandalism not covered by facility liability. Verify your insurance extends to off-premises storage locations before parking your vehicle.
Can I store a vehicle with expired registration or no license plates?
Yes, Boxstars accepts vehicles with expired registration, project cars without plates, and non-operational vehicles for outdoor storage. The private fenced yard is not subject to street parking regulations requiring current registration. However, vehicles must be towable or drivable for initial drop-off and eventual retrieval.
Is there a minimum storage period or long-term contract?
No, Boxstars operates on month-to-month terms with no minimum storage period and no long-term contracts. You can store a vehicle for one month during a home renovation or 12+ months for seasonal equipment. The facility charges only for months used, and you can terminate storage with standard 30-day notice.
Can I perform maintenance or repairs on my vehicle at the storage facility?
Minor maintenance (checking tire pressure, adding fuel stabilizer, battery trickle charging) is permitted during your vehicle access. Major repairs involving fluid changes, part replacements, or extended tool use are not allowed in the outdoor yard due to environmental and safety regulations. The facility is designed for vehicle parking, not a working shop.
How quickly can I start storing my vehicle after contacting Boxstars?
Most vehicle storage accounts activate within 48 hours of initial contact, following Boxstars’ standard onboarding timeline. Daniel Duran or warehouse managers Kyle Ronemous and Jose Ramirez conduct a brief site walkthrough, assign a storage space, program your gate access code, and finalize billing. Call (303) 296-7827 to begin the process.
