In Graz, Austria's second-largest city, the need for parking spaces and storage is high. Many households own more than one car or motorcycle, and the available public parking areas are often insufficient.

Searching for a street parking space can be time-consuming, because parking pressure and short-term parking zones make long-term parking difficult in many districts. Therefore, renting a garage offers a big advantage: you have a fixed parking spot near your home or workplace, which saves time and stress.

In addition, garages contribute to safety by protecting vehicles from weather, theft and vandalism. Residents in an urban environment like Graz also appreciate the extra storage space a garage can provide for tires, sports equipment or furniture.

Not every garage is the same – there are significant differences in size, amenities and construction. A central criterion is the size or usable area: standard garages in Graz usually have about 12 to 15 m², which provides enough space for a car.

If you have a larger vehicle or want to store extra shelving, look for a correspondingly spacious garage. The entry is also important – the height should be measured so that your car or motorcycle fits in without problems (about 2 meters is common), although entry height and width vary by construction type.

Many garages have a power connection and lighting, which is practical for charging batteries or loading and unloading safely in the dark. Ideally, the garage door is electrically operated and the garage is dry and well ventilated so that stored vehicles and items do not get damaged.

Modern underground garages in residential complexes often score with additional security: camera surveillance, automatic gates and secured access are not uncommon. For above-ground single garages, a solid construction with a sturdy lock is important.

If you want to rent an outdoor parking space (a spot in the open air), pay attention to a safe environment – a fenced area or at least good lighting provides extra security.

Besides the rent itself, you should also keep an eye on the monthly operating costs. These often cover common expenses such as lighting, cleaning or snow removal for the garage facility. In many cases, operating costs are added to the rent, resulting in a total rent.

Clarify in advance which services are included in your garage rent and whether, for example, there is a separate electricity meter or if electricity is provided as a flat rate.

You can find garages in Graz almost everywhere – from the city center to quieter residential neighborhoods on the outskirts. Location, however, affects supply and price: in very central locations underground parking spaces are particularly in demand and often more expensive, and when a good spot becomes available, it is usually rented out quickly.

On the outskirts, on the other hand, there are also cheaper options such as outdoor parking spaces or simple single garages. It is important that the garage is located where you need it—ideally close to your home, workplace or well connected to your daily route. Good transport connections and infrastructure in the area increase the benefit: for example, commuters appreciate a garage space near a motorway access or a tram station.

The type of garage also matters. In many modern residential buildings, underground parking spaces are rented to residents (and sometimes to external tenants). An underground garage offers protection from the weather and often 24/7 access.

There is also the classic locked single garage, for example in courtyards or row-house developments, which provides private, lockable space for a vehicle and storage. If you do not need a roof, you can also rent a space in a parking garage or parking deck on a long-term basis – such spaces are usually cheaper but offer less protection from weather and theft.

Overall: Graz is divided into various districts, and each area has its peculiarities. While we do not highlight individual neighborhoods here, one can say that garages can be found in all parts of the city.

Whether centrally located or in a growing district like Liebenau – what matters is that the garage meets your requirements. Consider whether you will mainly use the space for your car, whether a motorcycle or bicycle should also fit, and whether you may want to use the area as storage.

Depending on your needs, a different garage type may be worthwhile: for some, a simple parking space is sufficient; others prefer a well-secured underground parking spot in a well-maintained facility.

There is a very high demand for garages in Graz, so attractive offers are often rented out within a short time. Also, many parts of the city have short-term parking zones, which makes permanent parking spaces in garages even more valuable.

Many garages are used not only as parking spaces for cars but also as storage for motorcycles, tires, bicycle accessories or furniture. It is also notable that new residential projects almost always include underground parking spaces – the city is growing, and with it the demand for secure parking options.

When renting a garage, it is common to pay a deposit; there may also be a stamp duty for the rental contract, and commercial landlords usually add 20% VAT.
