Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has approximately 6,000 garages to rent around the borough.
The garages are let on a weekly tenancy and there are two rates of garage rent, dependent on the location of the garage.
Cost
The majority of garages are let at the standard rate of £10.36 (plus VAT if applicable) per week. However, a small number of garages, in less popular locations, benefit from a discounted rate of £8.48 (plus VAT if applicable) per week.
Campus East garages are now let at a premium rate of £15.58 (plus £3.12 VAT if applicable) per week.
VAT is charged on all garage letting's, however, in certain circumstances, council tenants and holders of a long lease from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council may benefit from an exclusion from paying VAT.
Applying to rent a garage
Please print, complete and return the application form to us. Once we have received your fully completed garage application form, if there is not a waiting list for the area where you would like a garage, you will receive an acknowledgement to your application within two weeks.

In some areas of the borough garages are in great demand, and there may be a waiting list. Holders of a blue badge will be given priority over applicants. We do however, have many areas where we have garages that do not have a waiting list. Please see our garage locations page.
