A parking garage is a building designed specifically for parking vehicles, typically cars. These structures can be found in urban areas where space is limited, allowing for efficient use of land. Parking garages can be multi-story, providing numerous parking spots in a compact area. They often have features like ramps, elevators, and security systems to ensure safety and convenience for users. Many parking garages are located near popular destinations such as shopping centers, airports, and business districts. They may charge a fee for parking, which can vary based on location and duration. Some garages also offer electric vehicle charging stations and designated spaces for disabled drivers.
