Recently I've traveled to Salt Lake City and noticed that there was a "Premium Reserved Parking" section for $10/hour, which seemed like the highest hourly rate I've seen so far. Are there parking spots that are even more expensive?

Here's the full list of conditions:

  • This must be a regular parking rate, not a one-time special price. So a parking lot that charged solar eclipse visitors $100/hour won't count.
  • If there's a discount for staying longer, you don't have to apply it. In the case of Salt Lake City airport above, there's a cheaper option for $55/day, but it would still count as $10/hour as that's the base rate someone would have to pay.
  • If the parking rate is for a fixed number of hours (common for "event" rates), you must divide the amount paid by the maximum number of hours allowed for that amount of money. If the maximum number of hours is not clearly defined, you must divide that rate by 4, as a rough proxy to how long events usually last.
  • This parking lot must be accessible to the general public
  • It has to be self-service parking, rather than valet parking
  • The largest parking fee prorated per hour wins. So if there's a $1000/month rate somewhere, it would count as $1.38/hour after diving by the maximum number of hours allowed at that location.
  • This has to be an actual business that routinely makes money from selling their parking services. So a random house owner posting a $1m/hour rate next to his garage won't count.


Best Answer

Not sure if that counts, but the Gatwick Airport Drop-off charge is £5 for 10 minutes (so £30/hour), then £1/minute for the next 20 minutes (£60/hour).

Very short-term drop-off or pick-up areas in airports and the like are probably good candidates.

What sold for 1.3 million dollars in Hong Kong?

Or maybe it costs a few quarters. But in Hong Kong, it could cost you $1.3 million. It's one of the few places where the pavement a McLaren Senna sits on is worth more than the vehicle itself. Granted, $1.3 million is the price to buy the space outright, which someone recently did, according to the BBC.

Parking spaces have outperformed the residential market between 2012 and 2020.

The first patent for a parking meter was filed by Roger W. Babson on August 30, 1928. Babson was an entrepreneur in the early 20th century. Babson had the idea of creating a parking meter that gets its energy by using the power of the parked vehicle.

Answer 2

If we really to answer this then the parking posts of luxury hotels will be it. Most of these can only be used if you have a room and then it is included in the room . So if you check into a room for 1000 USD an eight hour stay then you can say you are paying 125/hr for the parking...
