Vehicle Storage

The office of Parking Services offers free vehicle storage during Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. For vehicle storage during these periods, an authorization form must be completed. In addition, a valid WUSTL parking permit or a break storage placard must be displayed on the vehicle, and the vehicle must be parked in the appropriate zone. All documentation and information is available from Parking Services. The vehicle storage location during each of these break periods will be determined by the office of Parking Services and printed on each break storage placard.

Vehicle storage on campus is prohibited during the summer. For a list of vehicle storage facilities in the area that will accommodate vehicle storage during the summer months, please contact Parking Services.
At other times during the academic year: Commuters may not leave a vehicle unattended on campus for more than 72 consecutive hours without the express written consent of Parking Services.
Campus residents may not leave a vehicle unattended on campus for a period exceeding 12 days without the express written consent of Parking Services.
