Most public parking spots in Washington DC are on-street or in designated garages, and are metered. The cost of parking in these spots can range from $2 an hour to over $15 an hour, with the average at $9 an hour. However these spots can be hard to find and there are many parking restrictions in effect, especially around popular tourist areas. In addition, many residential areas require a permit to park; and during the winter months, snowfall can force street closures and plowing makes on-street parking riskier. Luckily, there are parking spaces for rent all across Washington DC, in private lots, underground car parks, and private garages and driveways. These can help ensure consistency of availability and be more cost-effective than paying hourly.
