We Pick up Car

We pick up your car from your residence on or off campus

We Store Car

We store your car in doors in our warehouse

We Deliver Car

We deliver your car back to you when you return to school
  • Your vehicle must have at least ¼ tank of gas at pickup.
  • At pickup, we will document any existing damage and record the vehicle’s mileage on your receipt.
  • Please remove all food and trash from the car to prevent mice.
  • You may store items inside your vehicle, but leave enough space for us to safely drive it.
  • You must maintain active insurance on your vehicle while it is in storage.

Whether you’re leaving for summer or winter break, going abroad or taking a semester off, CSS can help you out with car storage.

Leaving your car outside on a city street or in a parking lot exposed to the elements isn’t always the best or safest option for your vehicle. Learn how you can leave the worry behind and take advantage of our car storage services.

Vehicle Pickup

We make short-term and long-term vehicle storage easy by picking up your car at your address. You can even store boxes and other items in your car, as long as we can safely navigate the car on the road. When you return back to school, we’ll deliver the car to your new address during your school’s delivery time frame.

Climate Controlled, Secure Car Storage

Once your vehicle is on-site, it stays in a climate controlled storage facility. The indoor temperature ranges from the mid-60’s in the summer to the mid-40’s in the winter, so you don’t have to worry about your car enduring extreme temperatures. All cars are stored at out Boulder Storage facility because we have a drive-in door for that warehouse. The warehouse also has a motion and camera alarm system, security gate, and an employee is on premises during the day, every day, throughout the year.

Special pick up and delivery fee

The cost is between $100 - $250 for a special pick up or delivery of your vehicle at all schools we service except CU Boulder.

We are located in Boulder. If you would like your car picked up or delivered before or after winter break, or not on a designated pick up or delivery date when school lets in and out for summer break there is an extra cost for us to do this.

Do you need a vehicle driven out of state?

Some students and parents want their vehicles driven to their home state outside Colorado. We can do this for you. We will drive your vehicle and deliver it to where ever you live.

The cost on this is between $700-$1,500 for the driver, plus reimbursement for expenses like food, gas and if needed a hotel room. Plus the cost of a one-way airline ticket for the driver back to Colorado. This service is based on availability. Please contact us if interested.

Additional Car Storage Information

Pack car with boxes?
Many students pack their cars full of their items. This is fine. We can deliver boxes and tape to you ahead of time as well if you need them. We ask to please save us room to drive it through to and from the warehouse. Your car is stored in a safe and alarmed warehouse that was just built in 2014. The property also has a security gate on it. Someone is on site 5-6 days a week as well.

With our CSS vehicle storage service, if you have other items that you need to be stored that will not fit into your vehicle (like furniture, bikes, skis, snowboards, futons, etc.) You automatically get $100 off your other storage when storing a vehicle with CSS (per semester).

Car Batteries
  • If we can get to your battery easily, all car batteries will be disconnected at the time of storage. If your car battery is in the trunk and hard to get to, or in the trunk and the car is full of items, we will not disconnect the battery. Also, some of the newer vehicles have become so technical, we stay away from even attempting to touch the battery (tesla). This is to save the life of the battery. Too many new vehicles have numerous power draws on the battery even when they are being stored. The battery will be connected back up upon delivery.
  • If your car has a special code when the battery is turned back on, you need to give it to us at the time of pick up. If your battery is dead when we re-hook it up to your vehicle, we will charge it.
  • If it does not hold a charge and is dead, we are not responsible. We can easily order you a new battery and have it installed for you at cost.
  • Sometimes car batteries just die. We will replace your battery for you. The cost of this is $50 plus the cost of the new battery. We take the dead battery to the Auto parts store and get you an identical one, install it, bill the credit card on file and then staple the receipt to your contract
Vehicle Insurance and Coverage

Stored vehicles must have insurance. Your insurance is your only recourse for compensation for any and all types of damages, loss, or vandalism. We do not cover any damages that may arise during pick up or delivery from weather events, such as hail or rain.

We do not cover items missing, lost or damaged in the vehicle. The student is responsible for any items they leave in their vehicle. If you want items in the vehicle covered, all items need to be written down on the inventory sheet during pick up.

Car Storage Insurance
We do not offer insurance on stored vehicles. The customer is responsible for carrying insurance on them.
