There are moments when a car simply needs a proper place to go, often on short notice. An unexpectedly booked holiday. Construction work is making the driveway unusable. A business trip that grows from days into weeks. An auction purchase that needs collecting before you are ready for delivery. For many people, the first instinct is to look for somewhere to park the car for a few weeks.
What they usually discover is that parking is not really the answer.
If you need short term car storage in London – from two weeks upwards – Windrush provides a fully managed solution from our west London facility. From the moment the vehicle arrives, we professionally check it in, securely store it, monitor it throughout its stay, and prepare it properly for collection or delivery when required. Whether the car is with us for a fortnight or several months, it receives exactly the same level of care we provide to every vehicle entrusted to us.
Short-stay car storage in London - What it actually means
Short-stay car storage is very different from leaving a car in a car park or a self-storage facility. At Windrush, your vehicle is not simply left and forgotten. It is managed throughout the stay. On arrival, we check and document the vehicle. During storage, battery condition and tyre pressures are monitored, and the car remains protected within our secure west London facility. Before collection or delivery, it is prepared and made ready exactly as it should be.
Our minimum stay is two weeks, with storage starting at £195 plus VAT per week.
Why clients use Windrush while they’re away
No two situations are quite the same, but the reasons clients use short-term car storage in London tend to fall into a few familiar categories.
Holidays and Extended Travel – Leaving a car on the street, in a driveway, or in long-stay airport parking for weeks at a time is rarely ideal. Whether you are travelling for two weeks or several months, Windrush allows you to leave the vehicle properly stored, professionally managed, and ready for use the moment you return.
Building Works and Renovation – Driveways become inaccessible surprisingly quickly once contractors, skips, scaffolding, and machinery arrive. Short-stay storage keeps the vehicle safely out of the way while work is completed, eliminating concerns about security, access, or damage.
Business Travel – Many of our clients travel regularly and for long periods. Leaving a car unattended in London makes little sense when collection and delivery can be arranged directly from your home, office, or airport. We collect the car where convenient and return it wherever you need it.
Auction Purchases – Buying a vehicle at auction and arranging immediate onward delivery do not always align. We can receive vehicles directly from the auction house, store them securely until you are ready, and deliver them onward at the appropriate time.
Between Homes or Garages – A move, renovation, delayed completion, or new garage build can temporarily leave a vehicle without a proper home. Short-stay storage solves the problem cleanly and professionally.
Seasonal Use – Some clients do not require year-round storage but prefer the car to be professionally managed during periods when they know it will not be used.
What’s included in the storage fee?
Every vehicle stored at Windrush, whether short-term or long-term, receives the same standard of care. This includes:
- Professional vehicle check-in and condition recording
- Secure indoor storage within our west London facility
- Battery and tyre monitoring during the stay
- Vehicle preparation before collection or delivery
- Access to our 24-hour drop zone for convenient handover
- Collection and delivery anywhere required
We can collect directly from your home, office, airport, dealer, workshop, or auction house. This can be by a driver or with your car in an enclosed transporter. You tell us where the car needs to be – we take care of the rest.
A service designed around convenience
One of the advantages of working with Windrush is continuity. Once your vehicle is booked in, its details and requirements are already on file with us. If plans change, the stay needs extending, or additional services are required, everything can be arranged quickly without starting the process again.
For many clients, a short stay becomes the beginning of a long-term relationship.
Suitable for everything from daily drivers to supercars
We store everything from modern daily-use vehicles to concours classics and high-value supercars. Regardless of value, we handle every car carefully, check it properly, and manage it professionally throughout its stay. For owners of significant vehicles, managed storage is invariably a far better solution than leaving a car unattended for weeks at a time.
How It Works:
- Get in touch with your dates and requirements
- We confirm availability and arrange the booking
- Drop the vehicle at our London facility or arrange collection
- We check the car in and manage it throughout the stay
- The vehicle is prepared for collection or delivered wherever required
