How Many Cars Can Trevor Store in GTA 5? A Comprehensive Guide

Trevor Philips, the chaotic and unpredictable character in Grand Theft Auto V, has a surprisingly robust set of options when it comes to storing his vehicles. While he may not be the most organized of the three protagonists, knowing the storage capabilities for his acquired rides is essential for any serious player. So, how many cars can Trevor store in GTA 5? The answer is more nuanced than a single number, but let’s break it down. In Story Mode, Trevor can store a total of 11 vehicles across his various properties.

Trevor’s Storage Locations

Trevor’s vehicle storage is spread across a few key locations, each with its own capacity. Understanding these is crucial to maximizing your garage space. Here’s a breakdown:

Trevor’s Safehouse Garages

• Sandy Shores Trailer: Trevor has two safehouses in Sandy Shores. However, the main trailer has one garage capable of storing one vehicle. The garage is positioned uniquely, requiring vehicles to be placed in-line, not side-by-side.
• Vanilla Unicorn: When Trevor takes over the Vanilla Unicorn strip club, he gains access to parking spaces on the side of the building. These spaces can hold two cars, but parking more than two will likely cause some to disappear.
• Total Safehouse Storage: This gives Trevor a total of 3 safehouse parking spots.

Trevor’s Pillbox Hill Garage

• Four-Car Garage: Separately from his safehouses, Trevor owns a standard four-car garage located in Pillbox Hill, Los Santos, identified by an orange garage logo on the map. This garage allows him to store four vehicles.
• Special Vehicle Menu: Notably, this garage also allows access to an unlimited “Special Vehicles” menu after it is acquired.
• Total Four-Car Garage Storage: He can therefore store an additional four cars here.

Trevor’s Hangar at Sandy Shores Airfield

• Four-Vehicle Capacity: Trevor also owns a hangar at the Sandy Shores Airfield. However, while designed to store aircraft, this hangar can also store four ground vehicles.
• Safely Storing: It’s recommended to store only four vehicles, as exceeding this limit may result in vehicle loss.
• Total Hangar Storage: He can store four vehicles here.

Total Storage for Trevor

Adding all of these up, Trevor has:

• 3 Safehouse Spaces
• 4 Pillbox Hill Garage Spaces
• 4 Hangar Spaces

Therefore, Trevor can store a total of 11 vehicles in the story mode of GTA V. This makes up a significant part of the 18 cars storable across all three characters. Remember, these storage locations are separate from each other, so a car stored in his Pillbox Hill garage cannot be accessed from his Sandy Shores trailer garage.

Important Considerations

• Vehicle Loss: In Story Mode, vehicle storage is not as secure as in GTA Online. Vehicles left in the open, or even sometimes those stored in garages, can disappear, especially if they are not consistently returned to their designated storage locations. There isn’t any car insurance in Story mode to recover destroyed vehicles.
• No Shared Garages: Cars stored in Trevor’s garages cannot be accessed by Michael or Franklin, and vice versa, with the exception of the vehicles parked at the Vanilla Unicorn, which are accessible to all characters but can only be stored by Trevor.
• Consistent Storage: To ensure a vehicle is saved, always return it to its appropriate garage after use.
