agree  Harry Borsje: Googling 'stallinggarage' (which is not the same as 'stalling'!) leads (to my surprise) to project developers building them for residents of appartment projects, so I guess that private<>public is spot on

dedicated parking


Explanation:
Not quite sure about, but it does generate a few googles. Otherwise (but even less sure!): long-term parking? permanent parking? If these suggestions don't quite fit the bill, I think I'd go for Dave's suggestion!

Stalling / garage
long term parking station / garage


Explanation:
Het verschil tussen een garage en een stalling is:

1) stalling: gebouw dat is bedoeld om een voertuig voor langere tijd weg te zetten waarbij het voertuig tussentijds niet wordt gebruikt

2) garage: gebouw dat is bedoeld om een voertuig voor korte tijd weg te zetten, bijv. gedurende de nacht of voor slechts een paar dagen.

N.B.: een parkeergarage is bepaald iets anders dan een garage en wordt in het Engels meestal aangeduid met (public)parking garage (US English) of parking station (OZ English) [http://www.proz.com/topic/38898]
Ook de term parking house heb ik wel gezien. Onder welke subdivisie van de Engelse taal dit thuis hoort weet ik niet :-)

Stallinggarage is als combinatiewoord hartstikke krom Nederlands. Kennelijk bedoelt men gewoon een privé parkeergarage. Daar kun je ook je auto in stallen, zeker. Probeer in zo'n voorziening eens een caravan langer dan een paar dagen neer te zetten (te stallen). Moet je eens zien wat voor gezeur daarvan komt.
