They should allow it. I just moved to Antioch, and rent a 10x20 storage unit for my Vette. It's 2 blocks away, and I can take my car out whenever I want. :)

Good luck in your search.

I don't believe it is heated, but I plan to start it weekly, and drive it when the weather is suitable. Heated storage that you have access to whenever you want may be a bit pricey. There are many places you can store your car in a heated environment, but you won't have access to it until spring. Many Corvette specialty shops (Corvette City, Corvette Collection) and auto museums will store a limited number of cars during the winter months.

Good luck!
