Why Rent a Garage or Shed?

Open-air storage works for many vehicles, but a lock-up garage is in a different category for anything valuable, weather-sensitive or under active restoration. We connect renters with homeowners and small businesses who have spare garages, double bays and workshop sheds sitting empty every night.

Whether you need a lock-up for a classic car you only drive on weekends, a double garage for a long-term restoration project, or a full shed with power for ongoing mechanical work, there are options listed across residential streets and light industrial areas around Australia.

Single residential garages are commonly available month to month in most suburbs. Industrial sheds and workshops listed by small businesses offer more space, often with 3-phase power, concrete floors and higher roller doors. Every host is identity-verified and the listing will show door dimensions, internal height, surface type and whether power is available.

Enclosed Storage That Works

Garages and sheds offer the ultimate protection for vehicles, equipment and personal belongings.

Fully Enclosed

Lock-up garages and sheds provide complete protection from weather, UV, theft and prying eyes.

Maximum Security

Roller doors, deadlocks and solid walls. Enclosed storage is the most secure option for valuable vehicles and gear.

Fair Pricing

Rent a garage from a private host at rates well below commercial self-storage. No contracts, no admin fees.

Workshop Space

Some hosts offer sheds with workbenches, power and lighting. Great for project vehicles and ongoing maintenance.

Classic & Collector Cars

An enclosed garage is the ideal environment for classic, collector and project cars that need climate protection.

Flexible Arrangements

Monthly or long-term. Many hosts are happy to arrange ongoing agreements for regular tenants.

What Do You Need a Garage For?

Lock-up garages and sheds work for all kinds of vehicles and storage needs.

Single Garage

Perfect for one car, motorcycle or a small collection of tools and equipment. Typically 3m x 6m.

Double Garage

Room for two vehicles or one vehicle plus a workshop area. Ideal for project cars and tradies.

Shed / Workshop

Larger spaces with potential for power, workbenches and tool storage. Great for ongoing projects and business use.

Tips for Renting a Garage or Shed

1

Measure your vehicle before enquiring

Know the full length, width and height including mirrors, roof racks and antennas. Single residential garages in Australia are commonly 3 metres wide by 5.5 to 6 metres deep, which is tighter than most people expect. A large SUV or long-wheelbase ute can be a close fit. Confirm internal dimensions with the host before booking.

2

Check for power and lighting

If you plan to run a battery charger, tools or a dehumidifier, confirm the garage has a working power outlet and whether you will have access to it. Workshop sheds often have 240V GPOs and sometimes 3-phase. Agree with the host on power access before you book.

3

Inspect for water ingress before you commit

Ask the host about the roof condition and check listing photos for water stains on the floor or walls. A leaking Colorbond roof or a cracked concrete apron that holds water can cause more damage to a vehicle than leaving it outside. If you are storing a classic or collector car, ask specifically about humidity control and drainage.

4

Agree on access arrangements through the platform

Confirm before booking whether you get your own key, remote or code, and how after-hours access works. Some hosts live on-site and prefer advance notice; others hand over a key and step back. Having this agreed in writing through the platform before you move anything in prevents misunderstandings later.

Garage & Shed Storage FAQs

How much does garage storage cost?

Rates depend on garage size, location and whether it’s a residential or commercial property. A single lock-up in the suburbs might be $80–$200 per month. Browse listings to compare. Prices vary.

Can I use the garage as a workshop?

Some hosts allow light workshop use. Always ask before booking if you plan to do any work in the space. Noise, fumes and hours may be restricted.

Is the garage lockable?

Most garages listed on StorageFinder are fully lockable with roller doors or panel doors. Check the listing photos and description for details.

Can I store things other than vehicles?

Many hosts are happy for you to store tools, equipment, furniture and other belongings. Just be upfront about what you’re storing when you book.

How does access work?

Most hosts provide a key, remote or code for independent access. Some prefer to be on-site the first time. The listing and any pre-booking messages should make the arrangement clear. If 24-hour independent access matters to you, confirm it explicitly with the host before paying.

Can I share the space with another renter?

That is up to the host. Some have larger sheds they split between multiple renters. If the listing does not mention shared access, ask. You have the right to know who else has a key or code to the space you are renting.

Is there a minimum rental period?

That varies by host. Many prefer a minimum of one month. Month-to-month is the most common arrangement and gives both parties flexibility. Some hosts in high-demand areas are flexible for shorter bookings. The listing will show what is available.
