Trevor Philips, the volatile and unpredictable character from Grand Theft Auto V, has a penchant for chaos and, perhaps surprisingly, a need for secure vehicle storage. Understanding where Trevor can safely stash his rides in story mode is crucial for players looking to build their unique collection and avoid the dreaded disappearance of hard-earned vehicles.
The primary locations where Trevor can store cars in GTA V’s story mode are:
- Trevor’s Trailer Garage: Situated behind his trailer in Sandy Shores, this garage is a humble but effective storage solution for one vehicle.
- The Pillbox Hill Garage: This four-car garage in Los Santos provides a larger storage space and is Trevor’s dedicated purchasable garage property. It’s identified by an orange garage icon on the map.
While these are the primary safe havens for Trevor’s cars, there are nuances and limitations that every player should understand to avoid frustration and lost vehicles. Let’s delve deeper into the specific storage options and how to best manage Trevor’s growing collection.
Trevor’s Garages Explained
The Trailer Garage
Located behind Trevor’s trailer in Sandy Shores, this single-car garage is the most readily accessible storage option early in the game. It’s simple and convenient, allowing players to quickly stow away a vehicle after a mission or an adventure through Blaine County. Importantly, it only holds one car at a time. Parking a second car here will cause the first one to vanish. To avoid vehicle loss, it’s recommended to only use this garage for a dedicated car that you wish to keep safe throughout your Trevor storyline.
The Pillbox Hill Garage
The Pillbox Hill garage is Trevor’s purchasable four-car garage in Los Santos. It’s a key acquisition for any player serious about collecting vehicles for Trevor. This garage is located west of the Ammu-Nation shooting range in the Pillbox Hill district. In the original (PS3/Xbox360) version of the game, this garage costs $30,000 but is free to acquire after the 1.16 patch. The ability to store four cars here greatly expands Trevor’s capacity to build a diverse collection of vehicles. Additionally, this garage acts as the primary location for purchased vehicles, ensuring they are safely delivered to a designated spot.
Other Storage Considerations
While these two garages are Trevor’s designated locations, players often explore other areas for potential car storage. It’s important to know what doesn’t work to avoid losing vehicles:
Trevor’s Hangar
Trevor’s hangar at the Sandy Shores Airfield, primarily designed for aircraft, can store up to four vehicles. However, this is not a reliable method for long-term storage. Similar to safehouse garages, if you store more than four, the earlier ones will disappear. Furthermore, using the hangar primarily for storing aircraft is recommended to avoid issues. Trying to alternate between aircraft and cars inside the hangar can lead to cars being lost.
Street Parking
Leaving vehicles parked on the street, no matter how strategically placed, is a surefire way to lose them in GTA V story mode. Cars left behind will not automatically return to your safehouses or garages. If you’re lucky, some vehicles might appear at the impound, but this is unreliable.
Other Safehouses
Unlike Michael and Franklin, Trevor has only two safehouse options for vehicle storage. The other protagonists can store vehicles in their safehouse garages and at their purchasable garages in Los Santos.
