Title: Garage Rental
Post by: madmanluke on 07 March 2013, 23:57
Hey guys,

I'm looking currently for a garage to rent to my car in whilst its not in use.

A lot of you guys must have use of a garage that may not be necessarily yours so I'm wondering what you pay monthly for use of one?

I have been given an option of one that is around 10 mins drive from my house. I was told the price was £80 a month and sounded like he was doing me the favour for giving it to me for that price?! I was thinking £50 was about reasonable for a garage that a car will literally be parked in and thats it (no works on the car)?

In the great area I live, I can get a garage for £75 per year, only problem is that it is a mile away.

I used to rent a garage from the local council, that was about 60 a month - That was in Cambridgeshireland.

A parking space where I used to live was 50 a month and that was 'cheap'  :laugh:

Don't worry I am thinking of going for it, only thing is that you cannot keep a eye on the car.

I've already searchd high and low between friends and family close by but have only got one other option at the moment. its a good 6 miles away, 30 mins at least in traffic with a friend. Thats £40 a month which i think is more than reasonable.

The only option I have next is the one mentioned above which is still 10 mins away by car but at £80!

I am just in Bromley, Hayes.
In the end I have managed to get the guy down to £70 a month. thats still £840 a year! thats MASSIVE money for somewhere to just store a car!

Crazyness but I've just gone ahead with it since I have no choice.

let me know if you think you have something mate as I'll always be on the look out for somewhere cheaper.

Im in Sutton and 70/80 pcm is about right for a private let. if you can get a (dodgey) sub let on a council garage then you can get it a bit cheaper but these garages tend to be in the nice end of town and have implications if you were to claim insurance...
A garage went for 60k in my area a few years back :shocked:
