Italy's Bonus Box Auto 2026 offers tax and insurance savings

The 2026 'Bonus Box Auto' in Italy offers significant financial advantages for individuals constructing or purchasing new private garages or parking spaces. Under the current scheme, taxpayers can recover 50% of the expense if the garage is attached to a primary residence, or 36% in other cases, with a maximum deduction of 96,000 euros spread over ten annual installments. These benefits are expected to decrease in 2027 to 36% and 30%, respectively.

Beyond tax incentives, owning a private garage can reduce vehicle insurance premiums. Data from Segugio.it indicates that motorists and motorcyclists who park in private garages typically pay lower average liability insurance (RC) premiums due to the reduced risk of theft, vandalism, and weather damage. In July 2026, 58.7% of car owners and 82.3% of motorcyclists reported using private garages for overnight parking.
