I own rental places. Many have the same problem. Drive ways are higher than garage floor. Water runs in. I purchased a Terramite T5C. It's very difficult to raise a garage floor, so your only choice is to lower the dirt around the garage, make water run away from it.
I had to do the same with the last house which was built on the lowest point. Water from neighbors 40 acre field ran towards the house the last time in 08 we got 10 inches in 24 hours. That require weeks of work removing tons of top soil, making a drainage system all around house and pole barn. It's a mess doing it, but really a person's only option. Drain pipes can't handle 10 inches in 24 hours. When we get even a few inches is a short time, I have steams draining 10's of thousand of gallons of water away from house and barn.
Start moving dirt. Save your old garage and build a new pole barn of the dirt you moved.
Sometimes people make things worse by installing a paved drive. Water then runs down the drive to garage.
