Best Parking NYCBEST PARKING NYC

If you are looking for the best parking in NYC, you should consider parking on the street!!!!  There is always free NYC Parking if you know where to look.  Free is always the best parking rate!

HOW DO I FIND FREE PARKING IN NYC?

The trick to finding the best parking in New York City is to understand the New York City parking rules.  Knowledge of NYC Parking Regulations will help you save tons of money and keep your car from getting towed in NYC.  Below is a guide to parking in NYC:

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #1: KNOW THE ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES

If you want to park for free in New York City, you have to be fully aware of the NYC parking regulations that apply.  You can find out by checking parking signs, looking online at the NYC DOT website, and by calling 311.  There are particular days upon which the parking rules are suspended.  These include holidays.  NYC has many holidays on which parking regulations are suspended that you probably don’t even know about!

Click Here to go to our NYC Alternate Side Parking Rules Page

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #2: PARKING IN NYC IS OFTEN FREE ON SUNDAYS!

Many people do not realize that often parking regulations are suspended in Manhattan and in New York City on Sundays.  If you can wait until Sunday to run your errands, you can often park for free in areas of NYC that you might otherwise not be able to get to by car.  It is often best to plan any parking in NYC that you need to get done for Sunday.  The earlier in the day on Sunday you plan to park in New York City, the better.

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #3: MANY PARKING LOTS HAVE EARLY BIRD SPECIALS!

Have you heard how expensive parking lots are in NYC?  Most people know that parking in New York City is expensive.  However, with a little work, you can score discounted parking in NYC!  One way to do so is by finding out if the garage you are going to has an “early bird special” which lowers the parking rate.  The way that these parking specials work is that you have to enter the parking lot by a certain time (for example, before 10am) and if you do, your parking is at a significantly reduced rate.  This is a method New York City parking garages use to entice commuters who are not monthly parking customers to enter the lot early and often.  Often you can park for 10-12 hours for a significantly reduced rate.  You can call ahead or look for signage.

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #4: MUNICIPAL PARKING LOTS ARE THE BEST DEALS IN NEW YORK CITY!

Did you know that NYC has Municipal Parking Lots that are City run and cost just a fraction of what private parking lots cost?  If you have not parked in a municipal lot, you have missed out on one of the best NYC Parking Deals ever!  You should also check out NYC Parking Cards!  Municipal parking fields do not allow overnight parking.

WHO TOWED MY VEHICLE IN SAN JOSE?

Often in San Jose, it is private companies that are towing vehicles.  When your car is towed, the police department will have a record of the towing, and you must contact the company that towed the vehicle and pay them the fees due and owing.  Vehicles that are towed because the driver was unlicensed or because the driver had a suspended license are subject to being held for 30 days.  If the car is held for 30 days, the vehicle may be released if the person driving the car at the time that it was towed/impounded obtains a valid drivers license.

Vehicles towed and/or relocated in the City of Charlotte can be towed by the City of Charlotte Park It! Program. Basically, in Charlotte , if a parking agent catches you parked illegally parked, he or she will give your vehicle a ticket. The agent will then request a wrecker to tow the vehicle. As a result, you will have to pay not only the ticket, but also ALL OUTSTANDING and unpaid parking tickets for a period of 90 days and any fees due to the wrecker company once your car is towed.

MY CAR WAS TOWED IN CHARLOTTE. WHAT DO I DO NOW? WHERE IS MY TOWED CAR IN CHARLOTTE?

If your car was towed, two stickers should have been placed. One sticker was placed on the towed vehicle and it states the citation number, the reason for the car being towed and how to appeal the citation. The second sticker is placed if the car is towed. In that case, a sticker is placed on the meter adjacent to where the vehicle was parked before it was towed. It will have the reason the vehicle was towed, the way to appeal the citation, and the address and phone number of the wrecker company holding the vehicle. Look around the area where the vehicle was towed. The sticker left by the wrecker company after towing will often be attached to a nearby object.

SUMMARY: IN CHARLOTTE, IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS TOWED, IT WAS PROBABLY TOWED BY A WRECKER COMPANY!

You can contact the Charlotte Department of Transportation at 704-336-4119. If you have a question about a particular parking violation, you can call 704-375-3177.
