Here are some reasons why players should buy a Hangar in GTA Online:

• It allows GTA Online players the ability to spawn aircraft in the open.
• It can also store and customize aircraft.
• Clearance to access Fort Zancudo without a Wanted Level (this only applies to the Fort Zancudo locations).
• An additional way to make money.

A Hangar is a must-have for aviators who love to spend time with their planes or helicopters.

It is vital to mention that the Hangar isn't usually one of the first properties that a player buys in GTA Online. While its advantages are nice, new players are recommended to get Nightclubs, Offices, Clubhouses, and Bunkers before purchasing this property.

The only customization option that players should get for their Hangar is the workshop. It costs $1,150,000 by default but has one of the main draws of the property in GTA Online: aircraft customization.

All other customization options are either cosmetic or just filler Living Quarters. One should only buy them if they want to add extra flair to their Hangar.

Which is the best Hangar in the game?

Here are five possible locations for this property:

• LSIA A17: $1,200,000
• LSIA 1: $1,525,000
• Fort Zancudo 3497: $2,085,000
• Fort Zancudo 3499: $2,650,000
• Fort Zancudo A2: $3,250,000

The Fort Zancudo options are significantly better than the LSIA ones for the following reasons:

• They allow the player to enter Fort Zancudo without a Wanted Level.
• Easy access to the P-996 LAZER for free.
• Easy access to the Rhino for free.

These benefits are worth the extra cash that they cost. However, players still need to figure out which of the three choices is the best option. Here is a quick synopsis:

• Fort Zancudo 3497: Cheapest option but is placed in a bit of an awkward spot.
• Fort Zancudo 3499: Easiest to use, but further away from some notable points of interest.
• Fort Zancudo A2: More convenient than 3497 and is very close to the P-996 LAZERs, but it's the most expensive.

Ultimately, the Fort Zancudo 3499 is the best option. It's decently priced and is extremely easy to use when taking off and landing. However, the other two options are still viable if the player finds their advantages to be more valuable.
