Thanks, this makes much sense. - I will update the proposal to use the key covered instead of different values for the type of storage - I will also change car to vehicle covering caravans, boats, etc. as well - I agree that amenity or shop would be better that parking as the typical characteristics differ from a regular parking and you would not choose for the facility if you look for long time parking at an airport: - Storing and retrieving is often by appointment only ( a few days in advance) - Focus is on best capacity use, not on easy access: you may not be allowed to park your vehicle yourself and it may be needed to move 5 vehicles before yours can be reached - Oten additional services are provided: disconnecting and connecting batteries, monthly starting, small service jobs - Amenity is better than shop: most shops are not delivering a service, but goods only; this is comparable with other types of parking
