Where Can I Store My RV or Car for the Winter?

Nelson Markesbery offers a secure, gated outdoor vehicle storage area at our local facility in Florence, KY. Ideal for RVs, trucks, and seasonal cars, our storage solutions help protect your investment when you don’t have driveway space or want to avoid salt and snow damage during the winter.

Our facility features a fenced, gated yard with active warehouse oversight and camera surveillance.

Storing your vehicle off the road prevents the “salt spray” from passing traffic from eating away at your undercarriage and paint.

Our large local footprint easily accommodates oversized vehicles that won’t fit in a standard residential garage.

Located just off the interstate, we are the perfect “home base” for residents in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.

Long-Distance Vehicle Transport With Allied

Moving across the country? You shouldn’t have to drive your car thousands of miles or coordinate with a separate company. As an Allied Van Lines agent, we integrate your vehicle transport directly into your household or commercial move.

Direct Vehicle Shipping: Why a Carrier Beats a Broker

When searching for “car shipping in Northern Kentucky,” you will likely encounter “ghost brokers.” These are middlemen who collect your information and sell the contract to the lowest bidder. You often don’t know who is actually driving the truck until it shows up.

Nelson Markesbery is a carrier, not a broker. We own the equipment, employ the crews, and maintain a direct line of communication with you.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Moving or Storage

Preparation is the key to a damage-free vehicle transport or storage experience. Follow this checklist to ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey.

Wash your car thoroughly. Dirt and road grime can hide small scratches or dents, making it difficult to complete an accurate condition report before the move.

Perform a 360° photo or video walkaround. Having a digital “time stamp” of your vehicle’s condition protects both you and the mover by clearly showing the state of the car before it enters our care.

Keep the gas tank at about a quarter full. This provides enough fuel for our team to drive the vehicle on and off the transport trailer while keeping the overall weight of the shipment down.

Car alarms can be triggered by the motion of the transport truck, draining your battery. Additionally, remove E-ZPass or other toll tags to prevent accidental charges as the truck passes through toll gantries.

Ensure tires are properly inflated to protect the rims during loading and check for any active leaks that could drip onto other vehicles during transport.

Nelson Markesbery offers secure, gated outdoor storage at our local Northern Kentucky facility. Our “Cincinnati Winter Shield” program is specifically designed to protect seasonal vehicles, RVs, and boats from the damaging effects of road salt, snow, and ice common in the Tri-State area.

Preparation is key to a smooth transport. We recommend cleaning the vehicle thoroughly to document its condition, maintaining exactly 1/4 tank of fuel, and removing all personal items and toll tags. 

A carrier, like Nelson Markesbery and Allied Van Lines, actually owns the trucks and employs the drivers who move your car. A broker is a middleman who sells your “lead” to the lowest bidder. Choosing a carrier provides a direct chain of custody, better communication, and higher accountability.

Yes. As a full-service Allied agent, we can coordinate the transport of your vehicles alongside your furniture and personal belongings. This “single-source” approach is a favorite for corporate relocators because it minimizes downtime and ensures all your assets arrive at your new destination together.

Absolutely. We provide professional valuation coverage through Allied Van Lines for all long-distance moves. For local storage, our facility is gated and monitored by our on-site warehouse team, providing a significantly higher level of security than an open driveway or street parking.

We do. Our team understands the unique needs of hobbyists and collectors. Whether it’s a vintage muscle car or a high-performance sports car, we prioritize protection from the elements and secure handling to maintain the vehicle’s value and condition.
