I’ve had a few friends ask me about places to store their cars and I didn’t have any I could recommend until I found out about The Vault, a hidden underground parking that provides vehicle management and storage solutions.
Parking in Kuwait is a mess, majority of homes and apartment buildings have outdoor streetside parking that’s usually overcrowded and messy. Unless you live in a pretty fancy area, you usually don’t want to park your nice car out on the streets. Kuwait’s weather is also pretty harsh so you also don’t want to leave your car parked outside all summer long especially if its an older classic car. That’s when a service like The Vault comes handy.
Accessing The Vault is an experience by itself since to get down to the basement you’ll have to take your car via one of the two car lifts. When I arrived at the complex someone was waiting for me outside and helped me take my car down. Once the doors of the lift opened up in the basement, I drove into The Vault to find a bunch of interesting looking Porsches parked on one side, and then a line of Ferraris parked on the other. I instantly knew I was in for a treat. I love cars so it’s always exciting to check out other peoples special cars, no matter what they are. Special cars don’t have to be expensive, they just have to be interesting or unique. Since The Vault can only hold 45 cars, the owner is being choosy with what cars he accepts, think of it as being a boutique parking lot. And like I said, it isn’t about how expensive the cars are. Inside The Vault I spotted the super cute Nissan Figaro and a 1975 Land Rover Defender, both of which aren’t that expensive. But then you also had a like-new-condition classic Ferrari 348 and Zaid Ashkanani’s championship-winning Porsche GT3 Cup car parked nearby.
The Vault stores both cars and bikes and their “promotional” prices right now are as follows:
Cars
1 Month: KD75
3 Months: KD213
6 Months: KD408
12 Months: KD720
Bikes
1 Month: KD38
3 Months: KD108
6 Months: KD204
12 Months: KD380
They offer trickle charging for your car so the battery doesn’t die, they also offer car washes and they’ll check your car routinely and notify you in case your car develops a leak or something. Anytime you want to take your car out you can come to the facility, park your current car and drive off with the stored one. Really practical especially since The Vault is located near three major roads, the 6th Ring Road, Highway 30 and Gulf Road. If this is a service you’re interested in you can contact them on 94083166 or send them a DM @vmskw
Update: Their promotion is over and the prices have now changed.

Nice its completely worth if you have a nice fancy car
is there any other company that is cheaper.
1 Month: KD75 for a normal car is a bit expensive
if its a normal car i guess you can just get a membership at any multistory parking lot in the city.
Do you mean Land Rover* Defender?
oops 🙈
Sorry mate the defender didn’t exist in 1975, that would be Landrover Series 3, sorry to be picky LoL
Interesting… I can see it being handy in crowded places like KW City, but unless we have a metro, I couldn’t see myself parking one car, just to get another…on my way to work.
FYI By”Storage”, I thought you meant a long term parking.
Yup I meant long term parking. You don’t have to pick up your car everyday. People who use these facilities keep their cars long term there without being driven or maybe they take out their car only on a nice day or the weekends.
