If you've been searching for a garage for rent in the Asheville area, you already know how frustrating it can be to find the right space. Most standard storage units are too small, too cramped, and too limited for what you actually need. Whether you're looking for a place to store your vehicles, work on a project, organize your collectibles, or house business inventory, you need more than a 10x10 metal box with a roll-up door.
That's where Jumbo Storage comes in. Located at 36 Glenn Willow Drive in Arden, NC, Jumbo Storage offers 71 oversized personal storage units that function as your own private garage, with the space, power, and access you need to make the most of your investment.
Why Rent a Personal Garage Instead of a Traditional Storage Unit?
Traditional self-storage facilities are designed for boxes, furniture, and seasonal items. They work fine for people who need to tuck away a few things during a move or a renovation. But if you need real, usable space, a traditional unit simply won't cut it.
A personal garage rental from Jumbo Storage is a different experience entirely. These units are built like actual garages, with high ceilings, wide overhead doors, dedicated electrical service, and enough square footage to accommodate everything from a full-size RV to a classic car restoration project. You're not renting a closet. You're renting a functional space that you can make your own.
Here's what sets a Jumbo Storage personal garage apart from a conventional storage unit:
- Serious square footage. Units range from 896 to 1,500 square feet, with the option to combine neighboring units for even more room.
- 19-foot ceiling heights. Tall enough for vehicle lifts, stacked shelving, or storing oversized items without compromising floor space.
- 14-foot by 16/17-foot overhead doors. Wide and tall enough to drive in an RV, boat trailer, or large work vehicle with ease.
- Individually metered 30/50 amp electrical service. Run power tools, charge batteries, set up lighting, or plug in equipment, all on your own dedicated meter.
- 24/7/365 access. Come and go whenever you want, day or night, any day of the year.
- Fully fenced property with gate codes. Your belongings stay secure behind a gated perimeter.
What Can You Use a Rental Garage For?
One of the things that makes Jumbo Storage unique is the flexibility of how you can use your space. These aren't just places to park things and forget about them. They're spaces where you can spend time, work on projects, and enjoy what you've collected or built.
Vehicle Storage and Maintenance
If you own a car, truck, motorcycle, RV, boat, or trailer that you need to store, a Jumbo Storage garage gives you a clean, dry, indoor environment. Storing your vehicle indoors protects it from UV damage, weather exposure, vandalism, and theft, all common risks with outdoor storage or uncovered parking.
Many of our tenants enjoy working on their vehicles right inside their personal garage. Whether you're restoring a classic car, performing routine maintenance on your RV, or detailing a motorcycle, your Jumbo Storage unit is perfectly designed for that purpose. Just keep in mind that vehicle work must be done inside your unit, not in the common areas.
Hobby and Workshop Space
Have you always wanted a dedicated workshop but don't have the room at home? With 30/50 amp electrical service and generous ceiling heights, a Jumbo Storage garage can serve as your personal workshop for woodworking, metalworking, crafting, or whatever projects inspire you. You're free to add shelving, workbenches, tool storage, and accent lighting to customize the space to your needs.
There are reasonable restrictions in place to prevent issues with excessive noise, dust, or fumes, but the space is genuinely yours to set up and enjoy.
Collectibles and Display Space
Serious collectors need serious space. Whether your passion is antique cars, firearms, model trains, vintage memorabilia, or fine art, a Jumbo Storage personal garage gives you room to store, organize, and even display your collection. Add display cases, accent lighting, or custom shelving to create a showplace for your treasures, all while keeping them in a secure, dry, private environment.
Business Storage and Inventory
Asheville-area small business owners often find themselves running out of room for files, equipment, seasonal inventory, tools, and supplies. A Jumbo Storage personal warehouse is a cost-effective solution that gives you dedicated, private storage with the electrical service and access you need. The wide driveways and oversized doors make accepting deliveries straightforward, even for large or bulky items.
Please note that while you can store business materials at Jumbo Storage, the City of Asheville restricts actually operating a business on the property.

On-Site Amenities
Beyond the garages themselves, the Jumbo Storage property includes several shared amenities designed with convenience in mind:
- Community restrooms located at the entrance to the facility
- Dump station for RV owners
- Wash bay for cleaning vehicles on site
- Dumpster for waste disposal
- Extra-wide driveways ranging from 50 to 60 feet between buildings, plus a 5-foot apron extending from each building for additional maneuvering space
- Quality steel-frame construction with well-insulated doors and walls
- Pedestrian doors (3' x 7' locking doors) in addition to the overhead vehicle doors
These amenities are especially valuable for RV owners who want to wash, dump, and store their vehicle all in one convenient location.
