FAQs
Do you have a parking lot?
While our venue does not offer a parking lot for guests, we can park up to 5 vehicles in our staff parking lot.
There is ample street parking in close proximity to the venue on weekday evenings and weekends, and a public parking garage two blocks away at the intersection of Cesar Chavez Parkway and Newton Avenue.
Whenever possible, we strongly encourage the use of ridesharing services.
Can we showcase the cars housed at Garage Collective at our event or use them in our production?
Yes, but we need advance notice if you are looking to do this. All of the cars stored in our facility belong to our Members, who are often happy to lend them to our events and productions, but we must coordinate with them in advance.
Is there a minimum amount of hours we must book?
We do not require you to book for a minimum amount of hours; however, all hours you are at the facility are billable hours, including load-in and load-out. For events or productions needing 12 hours or more, we charge a capped daily rate.
Do you have preferred vendors?
We do! In order to help your event planning and coordination go as smoothly as possible, we will provide a curated list of vendors who know our space as well as we do.
