Store cars in Michaels house's garage?

[Tipoff Giggots]

I pretty much ust started playing the game, 4 hours in. I found a nice car with a cool turbo. Am I able to keep it in michaels garage or do I have to somehow put insurance on it or something?

You can keep one car in Michael's garage. You can also purchase a separate garage to store multiple cars in. Each character can purchase one.

I forgot you will not be able to purchase properties until after Trevor's mission called Nervous Ron.

Sam Charles, I think that is inaccurate. I have been able to store more than 1 vehicle in each garage... if I am able to stuff it in tightly.

For example, in Franklin's garage I currently have 1 car, 2 motorcycles and 1 bicycle, and they seem to stay there safely. In Micheal"s I have 2 cars inside it at the moment, again safely.

I "think" each garage can hold 4 vehicles plus unlimited "special" vehicles (I came across a random guide saying so). But I am not sure. So I recommend you experiment with less valuable vehicles and see if they survive a save and restore, and maybe save the nice car in Franklin's garage while you do that.

But it would be nice to find an official answer as to how many and how can you store. Or at least a guide dedicated to car storing in Gta 5.

Also, on the properties thing, not fully sure about that. I only got as far as the mission where they steal Michael's boat, plus the 50 paper scraps (not yet done the starlet one at the end of the 50) and Franklin's 2nd garage just became available on my minimap for about 40k.. So I will be trying to buy it later today.

I know, it is weird. I also thought you could not buy properties until later. Maybe there are special conditions for the 2nd garage of each character.

Confirmed. I just bought Franklin's special garage, and the most advanced mission I did was Father/Son (the boat one).

Edit: and now I bought Michel's garage. Still at the same main story missions, Although I did some of Tonya's and Beverly's side missions.

I read later that Rockstar made the properties available sooner after a patch. Nice to know you can store more than one vehicle in the house garages.

Yes, and it seems that after a decade of broken garages in Gta games R* finally fixed them in Gta 5. I have not lost a vehicle parked in a garage yet.

Unfortunately, once you unlock more than one character the ones you are not using seem to love taking your main car out, driving it, leaving it all over town, and getting it impounded. A royal pain in the rear. Makes me wonder if R* might be Russian, since they seem to have the sick sense of humor (that considers annoying customers fun) combined with great content but done very sloppily that is so common to ex soviet block software companies.
