Need some advice - Temporary residence with a place for my car

I'm moving out of state in a month, and I have been looking for an AirBnb that I can book for about a month or two that comes with a garage space to park my M2C in, as I don't want to leave it outside in a strange neighborhood.

My original plan was to buy my own house prior to the move, but the 9 months I spent trying to accomplish that didn't go well, so I'll need a temporary place in the new city while I continue to house hunt.

What I've done so far:

1.) Looked at renting townhouses or houses on Zillow; this seems to be a better option, but they don't do monthly and all want 6-12 month contract with a penalty if I break if early.

2.) Looking at AirBnb in suburban areas of the city I'm moving to, opting "Rent Entire Place" and DMing hosts if they have garage space available for parking. So far, I haven't really found anything either, as most people use their garages for storage, not parking cars.

3.) I cannot do apartments since they neither do monthly nor do they have garages.

Would love any input or advice on how to go about this from my trusty M2 forum fam!

An alternative is to move wherever and rent a store room. There are even vehicle storage facilities where you can rent a space.

Try craigslist. I have done this in the past; some of the landlords that post there are creative and flexible.

+1 on the storage site "parking place" rental. This to me is a no brainer if it's only for one month or two. I did this (2 month storage rental) with a boat when the situation called for it.

Ask around at your new workplace in the Atlanta area. Maybe someone's uncle's brother's son has a barn you can use for a while.

I second this. Did it myself for a period of time some years back and the bonus of being able to store other stuff in there as well.
