parking garage

Multilevel car storage

A parking garage is a structure with multiple levels for parking vehicles, typically found in urban areas where space is limited.

Also called a parking deck or parking structure.

Unlike surface lots, parking garages stack cars vertically: The downtown parking garage charges twelve dollars for the first hour.
