Rent a garage or parking space

Portsmouth City Council lets out more than 2,350 garages and 2,300 parking spaces across and outside of the city at very reasonable rates. Some areas have waiting lists. Charges vary according to location – price ranges are as follows:

Parking Spaces* – from £2.02 to £16.68 per week (including VAT for non-Portsmouth City Council tenants or leaseholders)

Garages – from £11.00 to £24.66 per week (including VAT for non-Portsmouth City Council tenants or leaseholders)

Caged parking – from £5.10 to £16.68 per week (including VAT for non-Portsmouth City Council tenants or leaseholders)

* There are two types of parking space – ground level and underground. Caged parking sites are located in Buckland only.

Anyone can apply to rent a parking space or garage, but the government adds VAT for anyone who is not a Portsmouth City Council tenant or leaseholder.

You’ll need to sign a licence agreement that lists the conditions of use, which you can view below.

It’s easy to make regular payments:

For details on ending your garage or parking space agreement, please see your licence agreement. We do not require advance notice; however the garage or parking space must be cleared and left as it was let to you.

If we need to end the licence agreement we will give you at least one week’s written notice.
