A large absorbent 'oil change' mat in your parking space would solve this problem.

I also strongly recommend that (if your home isn't already required to have them) you consider adding carbon monoxide detectors to rooms that are connected to your garage space (like via a door, vent, ect.).

It won't magic the water away. Exactly the same amount of water will end up in the space whether the mat is there or not.

Oh, required or not, we have CO detectors in the stairway to the main floor and in the hallway between both bedrooms. I don't take that lightly. Before starting to work from the former workshop off the basement I also did a radon test, which thankfully came back very negative.
