b. Covered Outdoor Car Storage is are parking garages or carports where the car is parked that is partially closed with walls and a roof and has minimum security against theft and dust.
c. Shared Indoor Car Storage is a big warehouse-type parking lot shared with other car parkers, gives proper security to the cars and is the best storage option.
d. Personal Indoor Car Storage is rented by the individual car owner to park their expensive cars.
2. Which Car Storage Size Will Be Right?

a. 10 x 10 Car Storage is good for small and mini cars.
