Figi here. I’ve got a hot take for you: Parking Downtown is easy and often reasonably priced. Don’t believe me? Here are a few pro tips from someone who frequently parks in the city.
- Street parking is almost always cheaper than parking in a garage or a lot. Check out this map of where you can find parking spots accessible by the Park ATX app.
- These spots start at $2 per hour, but you can add codes FREE15ATX1 and FREE15ATX2 for 15 minutes free each every 24 hours.
- Don’t forget to check signs nearby — Sundays are often free or have reduced metered hours.
- Off-street parking is available at the I-35 Lot, MoPac Parking Lot, and Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center Parking Lot for the same or similar prices in the Park ATX app.
- Websites like Way.com and SpotHero allow you to book parking ahead of time so you don’t have to search when you pull up.
- If you leave you car overnight to take a responsible ride home and receive a parking ticket in a legally parked spot, you can apply to have the cost waived via the Get Home Safe Ticket Waiver Form — all you have to do is attach a receipt from your safe ride.
