Can I park a car in a 10x20 storage unit?

Yes, a 10x20 is long enough for most cars and small SUVs (about 15 to 16 ft), and the extra length leaves room for some boxes. Confirm the drive-up door width fits your vehicle.

Is a 10x20 big enough for a 3-bedroom house?

Usually yes for a moderately furnished home. A heavily furnished three-bedroom with large appliances and a workshop can need a second unit, so check your inventory rather than assuming.
