Median asking rent in Mechelen: €99 for lock-up garage (9 listings), €95 for indoor parking (11 listings).
A high figure can be a good deal, but also an asking price that is too low for a badly located or hardly usable space. Check every listing yourself; the links open the listing page with the calculation and a link to the original advertisement.

For every listing we estimate the rent from comparable rental listings: first on the same street, then nearby, then city-wide, and only when that is not enough with a model. Gross yield is the annual rent divided by the asking price. Net yield accounts for registration duty, notary fees including VAT, 5% vacancy, property tax, insurance, service charges and maintenance, for a cash purchase. The median error of the rent estimate for garages is 15.0%. Read the full methodology.
