Overview: BestParking is a parking search engine and reservation platform that steers drivers towards the cheapest and most convenient parking facilities in cities and at airports throughout North America. Motorists rely on our website and mobile apps each month to easily compare the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates at thousands of parking facilities, thereby saving hundreds of dollars on parking.
The largest parking operators in the nation have partnered with BestParking to offer reservations, monthly specials, and exclusive deals directly to the site’s users. BestParking’s “Parking Partners” include Icon Parking Systems, Quik Park, Edison ParkFast, Parkway Corp, and other major operators.

Cities – Daily Parking: Motorists can search for parking by neighborhood, address, cross street, or attraction. All parking garages and lots near the search destination will appear on a map and sortable list. Details for each facility are posted, including addresses, valet/park and lock/self-park, indoor/outdoor, clearance height, electric vehicle charging, and SUV/Minivan/Van/Truck regulations. Our system considers all possible pricing variations (e.g., early-bird, evening, holiday specials, and extra overnight charges) before running an instant rate comparison and returning all results for the time period.

The default vehicle type is a regular vehicle. If driving an oversize or supersize vehicle, be sure to carefully read the garage/lot information for any surcharges. The definition of an oversize vehicle is anything 181" or longer and 70" or higher. It's important to note that while we're able to check official dimensions against the regulations we've been given, the decision to charge for oversize or supersize is ultimately up to the discretion of the attendant onsite. We advise folks to be prepared to pay an oversize fee if they're driving anything larger than a sedan. Airports: All on-airport and off-airport garages and lots for every major U.S. airport are displayed on a map and corresponding list below the map. Details for each facility are provided and all rates can be instantly calculated so that motorists can make a fair and unbiased comparison. Both short-term and long-term parking are supported.
