A retractable storage compartment that is accessible by the passengers in the rear portion of a vehicle's passenger cabin is provided. The storage compartment, which is integrated into the vehicle's center console, is mounted on a guide assembly in order to allow a rear passenger to easily open or close the compartment. The compartment may be configured as a simple storage area, or equipped with any of a variety of features such as an insulated ice chest, a refrigerator unit, a fold-out desk, etc. In addition to providing rear passenger access, the compartment may be configured to allow the passengers seated in the front of the car to access the compartment using a secondary, top-mounted door.
