Best FiveM Garage and Vehicle Scripts 2026: Complete Guide

Vehicles are central to the FiveM experience. Players spend hours earning money to buy cars, customizing them at mechanic shops, and driving through Los Santos. The scripts that manage vehicle storage, purchases, fuel, and keys determine how satisfying that experience is. This guide covers the best vehicle and garage scripts for FiveM servers in 2026.

The Vehicle Script Stack

A complete vehicle system typically requires multiple scripts working together:

• Garage script: Where vehicles are stored and retrieved
• Vehicle shop: Where players buy and sell vehicles
• Fuel system: Gas stations and fuel consumption
• Key system: Vehicle ownership and key sharing
• Mechanic job: Repairs, upgrades, and customization

Some scripts bundle multiple features, while others focus on one thing. Here's the breakdown by category.

Custom Vehicles

No vehicle guide is complete without mentioning custom vehicles. FiveM servers can add real-world car brands, custom handling, and unique vehicles that don't exist in vanilla GTA V.

Tips for custom vehicles:

• Quality over quantity. 50 well-optimized vehicles beat 500 poorly made ones.
• Check polygon counts. High-poly models tank FPS.
• Test handling files. Bad handling makes vehicles undriveable.
• Use LODs (Level of Detail) for performance at distance.

FAQ

How many vehicles should my server support?

For optimal performance, keep addon vehicles under 200. Each vehicle addon increases client loading time and memory usage. Quality matters more than quantity.

Should I use a paid or free garage script?

If garages are important to your server (they usually are), paid options like jg-advancedgarages offer significantly better features, UI, and support. The free qb-garages works but feels basic.

How do I handle vehicle wipes?

Occasional vehicle database cleanups are necessary to remove duped or orphaned vehicles. Most garage scripts include admin tools for this. Schedule wipes during maintenance windows and announce them to players.

Can players own businesses with vehicle-related jobs?

Yes. Scripts like jg-mechanic and lation-fuel support player-owned businesses. Mechanics can set their own prices, and gas station owners earn from fuel sales. These create excellent job opportunities.

Vehicle Performance and Handling Scripts

Beyond storage and shopping, serious servers invest in how vehicles actually feel to drive. Handling scripts let server owners and players fine-tune the physics of every vehicle, turning a stock GTA V car into something that feels genuinely different.

Handling Editor Scripts

nopixel-handling / Custom Handling Files

Many high-end servers ship custom handling data alongside their vehicle packs. These .meta files override the default GTA V physics per vehicle:

• fInitialDriveForce: Engine torque, directly affects acceleration
• fDriveInertia: How quickly the car reaches top speed
• fTractionCurveMax: Grip ceiling, affects cornering speed
• fSuspensionForce: Spring stiffness, affects body roll and bump response
• fBrakeForce: Stopping power multiplier

Good custom handling makes performance cars feel meaningfully faster than economy cars. Without it, all vehicles handle nearly identically regardless of their price tag.

t1ger-handling (T1GER Handling)

Framework: Any
Price: Paid

A script that lets players adjust their own vehicle handling in-game through a menu interface. Players can tune suspension, grip, and braking characteristics of their personal vehicles.

Features:

• In-game handling editor with live preview
• Per-vehicle save slots
• Mechanic job integration (only mechanics can tune)
• Preset system for quick tuning profiles
• Admin override to lock specific vehicles

Best for: Servers with strong car culture where vehicle feel matters to players.

qb-tunerchip / Tuner Chip Scripts

Tuner chip items that players can purchase and install to unlock handling improvements. Creates an economy around vehicle performance:

• Stage 1-3 chips with progressive handling buffs
• Integrates with mechanic job for installation
• Persistent across garage sessions
• Configurable stat bonuses per chip level

Drift and Racing Scripts

For servers with a strong driving community, dedicated racing and drift scripts add structured competition:

racescript / qb-races

• Player-created race tracks using in-game checkpoints
• Timed laps with leaderboard tracking
• Wager system (bet money on race outcomes)
• Ghost mode for time attack runs
• Vehicle class restrictions per event

drift-counter

• Real-time drift angle and speed tracking
• Combo scoring for sustained drifts
• Tandem drift mode for two-car coordination
• Drift point economy (earn in-game currency from drifting)

Vehicle Script Installation Tips

Getting your vehicle stack installed in the right order is critical. Dependencies matter:

1. Install ox_lib first if any of your scripts require it (most modern ones do). See the ox_lib complete guide for setup instructions.
2. Garage before shop: Your garage script needs to be running before the vehicle shop, since the shop needs to know where to spawn purchased vehicles.
3. Keys before either: The key system must initialize first so that purchased vehicles have ownership data when they spawn from the shop.
4. Fuel last: Fuel scripts attach to existing vehicles and can load after everything else is running.

Suggested server.cfg load order:

ensure ox_lib
ensure qbx_core           # or qb-core / es_extended
ensure ox_inventory       # if using OX inventory
ensure [vehicle_keys]     # qbx_vehiclekeys or equivalent
ensure [garage]           # jg-advancedgarages or okokGarage
ensure [vehicle_shop]     # qs-vehicleshop or jg-dealership
ensure [fuel]             # ox_fuel or lation-fuel
ensure [mechanic]         # jg-mechanic or qs-mechanic

Budget Considerations

Building a complete vehicle stack costs money. Here's a realistic budget breakdown for a full premium setup:

Script	Estimated Cost	Free Alternative
jg-advancedgarages	~€40	qb-garages (limited)
jg-dealership	~€35	qb-vehicleshop (basic)
lation-fuel	~€25	ox_fuel (good free option)
Vehicle keys	Free	—
jg-mechanic	~€45	Renewed Mechanic (free)
Total	~€145	€0 (reduced features)

For servers on a tight budget: use ox_fuel (free, excellent quality), qbx_vehiclekeys (free), and save money for jg-advancedgarages which is the hardest to replace with a free equivalent.

Browse the JG Scripts store and the cfx.re releases forum for current pricing and deals. Many developers offer bundle discounts if you buy multiple scripts together.

Housing and Vehicle Integration

For servers with housing scripts, vehicle storage integration matters. Players expect to park vehicles at their home, not just at city garages. The best garage scripts support this:

• jg-advancedgarages integrates with most housing scripts to add personal parking spots at properties
• Players can store vehicles in their property's garage and retrieve them there
• Capacity limits apply per property based on garage size (single, double, etc.)

See our best FiveM housing scripts guide for housing options that pair well with vehicle systems, and our inventory scripts guide for managing vehicle trunks and item storage.
