Safe parking in the centre of Mexico City
Me and my friends are travelling to Mexico City with our own car. We found out it is almost impossible to park our car close to our hotel.
We are staying in Mexico City center: República de Brasil 8, Centro, Cuauhtémoc, 06010 Ciudad de México, D.F. Reasonable price would be maximum 300 pesos per 24 hours.
Can you help me where to park our car for 4-5 days safely and for reasonable price? Is it safe to park somewhere on the street in city center?

Parkopedia shows a bunch of public parkings around the address you provided (prices are in local currency MXN). Indeed, parking seems to a be a profitable business in Mexico City. The ones showing prices on them have been reviewed by community members, whilst the greyed-out ones have not. In my opinion a safe parking is one that is underground/off-the-street, manned possibly 24h or at least during the daytime.
With these constraints, and your 300MXN budget in mind you can see that one parking seem to fit your requirements: Hermano Arolas Joséfina at 224MXN per 24h. There's also Isabel la Catolica at 300MXN per 24h, but I couldn't understand from the description if it is indeed an underground/off-the-street parking.

There is nothing to fear about driving in most of Mexico - Mexico City, toll roads, free roads - except for aggresive drivers, slow trucks and in some parts, a crossing animal. I suggest the toll road to Acapulco as it shaves hours off the trip and is more direct.How do you pay for parking in Mexico?
Paying for metered parkingParking is paid for either at individual meters (Parqu\xedmetro monoespacio) where available, or at ticket machines (Parqu\xedmetro multiespacio) in the street.
