Does anyone know of any business that offers secure indoor car storage, preferably near Tamarindo or Liberia, for a 4×4 vehicle full of personal goods that would be stored for periods from 6 months to a year? I would also consider San Jose if a good storage facility is available there.
I would greatly appreciate any leads.
I believe there is secure indoor storage on the road from highway 21 to Playa del Coco (on the north side before the turn off to Hermosa). I think it is owned by K-West. The only number I have is old but you could try – 2670-0011.

Thanks Johnr
Check to see if it is climate controlled or you will have your car and it’s contents coated with mold & mildew.
Oh and where ever you end up storing your car and items, throw dryer sheets around inside to keep out the critters!
Good luck.

Hi David:
I have a lot of friends that store boats and campers over the winter here in Minnesota. Most used moth balls for years to keep out mice. Some clever individual found out that dryer sheets (scented of course) not only keeps out the mice but tends to also keep out the dreaded asian beatles and other critters over the winter. The bonus is when you open everything back up in the spring you have a nice smell instead of moth balls. They claim you need to just throw them around everywhere. Include under seats, glove boxes, storage cabinets, inside boxes or tubs. I didn’t believe it until I saw a friends pontoon stored in a metal farm shed last year. Not a single mouse dropping or dead bug in site.
Interesting, John. When we lived in Michigan, we had a red squirrel that made its overwinter home in our gas grill out on the deck. We weren’t using it and so didn’t mind save for the mess of cleaning it up every spring.
Nothing I tried deterred the little devil. I tried a paper towel soaked in amonia but the squirrel incorporated it into its nest. Then I hit on Old Spice aftershave.
I soaked a small rag with it, put it in the closed grill, and never saw the squirrel again. And months later, in that closed space, the “scent” remained.
