Planning on living abroad for 3 months without my car. I plan on keeping my car and will need it when I’m back to continue my travels in North America. I plan on pausing my insurance and doing a “storage plan” so I can start it back up when I’m back. I can’t leave it with family because they are thousands of miles away.
Looking for advice on where to store my car for a relatively inexpensive price in the western U.S. Will probably decide which city to fly out of based off of where my car is. This would be in a couple of months, so will probably be through most of winter by then.
Also would greatly appreciate any advice on things to do to keep my car in good condition while I’m gone, like preventive measures.
A couple years ago, I used Avail car sharing out of the Denver airport while I was out of the country for 3 months. It’s a program run by Allstate, so it’s fully covered by their policies when your car is with them. If you’re comfortable with someone potentially driving your car occasionally, it’s a great option. You get paid (a small amount) each day it is used, and more importantly (for me, at least) free parking at the airport. My return date kept changing, but it was super easy to change that as well. Worth looking into as long as your car isn’t a super beater.
