To rent a garage to keep a car? Not too sure, not really rented one before

 

I pay 7 quid a week from council to rent a garage that the cosys in and 15 quid private for one that my 72 campers in. Depends on size really the camper one is a big garage. People charge what they want I've seen some for 30 per week

 

Depends how big.. Mate tbh.

 

When I had mine off the council it was £9.50pw, apparently if I had been a tennant rather than an owner it would have been £7.50pw

End of the day it's supply and demand. If there aren't many garages around for rent it pushes the price up and how big/secure is it?

 

seems cheap....few guys at work rent garages for their toys around west london 90 quid a month

£22.50 a week roughly

 

I would pay 15 a week no probs

 

I'd pay £15pw for a garage big enough to work on my car.

 

I pay £90 a month for a single garage.

It was brand new when I got it and is very secure.

I also have a council one £20 per month.

 

our village has a concil area with garages and they were £15 per week

but most are empty as everyone roung here has a drive at the least and i doubt theres 10% that dont have a garage

i was going to bid em a fiver a week lol, never did tho

i'd just chuck the shit that litters my garden like mixer, and stuff, i would be wary of putting a car in, garages are far too easy to get into and once you are in you can do what you like to the contents, could spend an hour getting a car going if the door was shut and nobody was noisey

 

depends where and what size. we pay £60 a week for a 3 car garage in edinburgh city centre which considering parking in an ncp car park is £12.50 a day isnt bad at all.
if its a little garage where you can only get out your car through the window in a quiet /rough area then id be wanting it cheaper than £15 a week.

 

That's great guys, what's happened is, I've had a garage for free that's over the road from my house for the last 2 months or so. But now the pub that owns it is struggling a bit for patrons, so need to scrounge as much money as possible. So they said £15 a week and its roughly a car and a half width size wise. Security wise, its fitted with a decent alarm, decent locks, neighbourhood watch constantly with paranoid neighbours and there's always a car parked outside it; when I use the Focus there's always room to take it out during the day. Thanks for the info guys, here's the garage....

 

Its THAT small i can hardly see it

Should do the job providing you can exit the vehicle via the door?

 

some one stole the garage

 

*thinly veiled excuse to show the car*

 

Mine are £22 a week where I live

 

im taking on a secure lockup for the cossie in two weeks time ,


25ft long 13 ft wide , loft storage , leccy ,water , wi fi and poss heating in a few months time , fully secure



£100 pcm ,


im alan id try n pin them to per calendar month mate , after all theres five weeks in some months ,

id tell them £ 60 pcm . save yourself a few quid over the year .


beef

 

Well worth £15 if you ask me.

 

looks good and over the road is a bonus few can afford

if you can run a flex across the road its free leccy in your house too!!!!!

 

It's a small price to pay to keep your car safe and keep this weather off it

 

A mate pays £200 a month in Glasgow for a double garage with free leccy. Single road in and has a big gate at the entrance. Mostly used by business so doesn't get any bother. Seems a alright rate for the area.

 

Deffo worth 15 quid a week, im lucky because my Step Dad works for the local council so if I ever need one I will get it cheap

 

my council garage costs £9.60 a week and there is a 5 year waiting list to get one

 

I also have a council one £20 per month.

 

I have my mothers garage, costs me sweet FA! lol and i dont even live there! i live 3 miles away the area she lives in is rough as fook though!, no-one sees what goes in or out if i can help it.....i have 6 padlocks on the door too!...... yes im paranoid! lol.

 

This.


Cheers,

The point is, to keep it safe from thieving bas*ards so I can continue to show it

As for the garage, it does have 2 sockets and lighting, so the electricity is included in the £15.00 a week, plus the added bonus that the back door leads to the beer garden of the pub I have sorted out with the owners to keep it £60.00 a month.

This is how it looks....

 

Worth the £15 I'd say.. but I wouldn't be posting pictures of the door of my garage up on the internet for all to see..

 

Well worth the 15 and could run a air-chamber in there as well.

 

Oh yes of course, am I distracting from the hundreds of other members that show off their garages and its contents that are worth much more than my car?

At the end of the day, you can't limit the advertisement of your car. If someone wants to nick something, they'll do everything possible to get it. Look how high profile and "safe" B5 Jam was...

 

£15pw is good for that garage...
I'd love to find something like that near me, so i could work on the car and would happily pay that and more!

 

I have two lock up garages off the local council and they cost me around a £100 per month in total - no leccy and just big enough to get a car in each its fairly secure being right next to the police station too so added bonus there.

But i need a third one now too and i aint paying another 50 quid a month for one. If i was a council tenant it would be less than half what i currently pay

So need to find a unit as it will work out cheaper.

 

That looks like £15 worth of garage to me.

I wonder, if you could build a 2/3 level lock up complex, I wonder what the demand would be.

 

Thats actually quite tidy, is it storage only or are you allowed to change (like adding a power supply so you can use tools and stuff)?

 

I wasn't being funny mate, don't get me wrong. I was stating a fact. You are saying there are potentially thieving b****rds who would want to steal your car.. I agree, there probably is someone with a MK1 Focus who would rather steal your motor than an Escort Cossie.

And yes, people put pictures of their garage doors open, with tools etc.. all tempting stuff to a thief..

But the fact that you have put a pic of the street your car is in, in a quiet looking town, near the back of a pub, with a garage with a side door, and an estate agent "to let" sign showing the name and phone number of where they are based, it wouldn't be very hard to find your garage would it?

At the end of the day, it makes no difference to me if your car got nicked or not, I was trying to offer some friendly advice. Don't be so quick to jump on people in future. Not everyone is having a dig.

 

That's worth £15 a week of anyone's money mate.

 

if its a pissing contest my ol man has a warm dry 400 000 sq ft warehouse i keep my xr2 in

when he bought it i could drive round in 3rd gear inside the building!!!!

 

We've got a brick built pitched roof detached garage in the garden, which was purposely built oversized by the previous owner of the house. S1 looks lost in there, despite being technically a single garage but can open both the S1 doors in there and have loads of room left at the front and the back of the car as well. Got a shed at one end in addition to where the car is which is walled off from the main garage, electric up and over door with remote, electrics throughout.

 

i pay 25.51 PCM for my garage just big enough to get in and out the car from one side does the job but not great

 

mines £9.50 a week from the council i must have paid for it 9 times over
but keeps the car dry and safe

 

Man, I wish I could find a garage to rent where I am!
