We have council garages available to rent across Oxford.
Anyone can apply to rent a garage. You do not need to be a council tenant, but we give priority to council tenants and disabled applicants.
Before you apply, view our garage locations to find a suitable location near you.
Garage rental costs
Garage rental costs depend on:
- whether you are a council tenant
- whether the garage is charged at a Standard or Premium rate, depending on location and demand
- whether you qualify for a Blue Badge Discount (BBD) or a mobility-related discount (MOB)
Mobility-related discounts include the Motability Scheme, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) Higher Rate Mobility Component, and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Mobility Component. You will need to provide evidence that you qualify for any discount.

Garage rules
You may only keep a private motor vehicle in a council garage.
If you want to store other things in the garage, such as bicycles, household items or garden tools, you must apply to use the garage for storage first.
Before you apply, read the garage licence conditions to understand the garage rules and responsibilities.

If a garage is available, we will contact you to explain the rental process and next steps.
