All of this inevitably leads to hundreds of lost man-hours &#8211; not to mention economic loss.

That&#8217;s not surprising given everything we&#8217;ve mentioned above. Street parking meters are ridiculously hard to find &#8211; you might even have to drive around for quite a while before finding a free spot. Plus, it&#8217;s not enough that you find a spot, you also need to stick to the parking rules and regulations. Spots are available in two-hour increments, and you could get ticketed within minutes of the meter running out. Add to that winter parking rules and street cleaning regulations, and you&#8217;re in for a rough time.<\/p>\n<p>One way out of this is to check whether official parking is available at your destination. Most eateries, restaurants, and other establishments offer on-site parking where you can park with ease and ensure your car&#8217;s safety. The only drawback is that such lots will have only limited spots and is only available on a first-come, first-serve basis. On-site parking in Chicago is also expensive &#8211; it can cost you more than $40 for a day&#8217;s parking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34234 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking4.jpg\" alt=\"A view of the Chicago streets: Find cheap parking using Way.com\" width=\"871\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking4.jpg 871w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking4-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking4-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_is_metered_parking_in_Chicago\"><\/span><strong>How much is metered parking in Chicago?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Metered street parking is available throughout Chicago, but the rates can vary depending on where you park. The City of Chicago has a three-tier parking rate structure, with higher rates in high-demand areas like downtown Chicago and slightly lower rates in other suburbs. You can find more information on parking meters in Chicago<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicago.gov\/city\/en\/depts\/fin\/supp_info\/revenue\/parking_meters.html\"> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The downtown Loop area has the highest rates, costing $7 per hour of parking. The Central Business District parking rates will cost you $4.75 per hour of parking, while other parts of the city have a uniform rate of $2.50 per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Metered parking may be cheap, but it&#8217;s not that convenient! In fact, due to the challenge in finding vacant Chicago parking spots, many residents have started using parking apps to pre-book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/chicago-parking\">off-site garage parking in Chicago<\/a> instead. But more on that later!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_find_cheap_parking_in_downtown_Chicago\"><\/span><strong>Where can you find cheap parking in downtown Chicago?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some prominent avenues where street parking is in high-demand include Michigan Avenue, Wabash Avenue, Clark Street, State Street, and more. However, you need to be very careful when leaving your car parked here. Due to the continuous influx of vehicles, the City of Chicago parking authorities is very strict on any cars that violate parking rules in downtown Chicago. Keep an eye out for the parking signboards that indicate parking limits and parking timings.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago also has <a href=\" https:\/\/dev.way.com\/blog\/dont-get-snowed-in-by-these-winter-parking-rules\/\">winter parking rules<\/a> that ban any cars on more than 107 miles of main streets from December 1 to April 1. Parking in these seasonal tow-away zones between 3 am, and 7 am will set you back by a minimum of $60 ticket plus a $150 towing fee and $25 storage fee. Additionally, there is a ban on parking on 500 miles of Chicago streets when there is two inches of snow or more during any time of the year!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/chicago-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34253 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Way-parking-banner-template-1.png\" alt=\"Get affordable off-site parking using the Way.com parking app\" width=\"970\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Way-parking-banner-template-1.png 970w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Way-parking-banner-template-1-300x28.png 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Way-parking-banner-template-1-768x71.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_find_free_parking_in_Chicago\"><\/span>Where can you find free parking in Chicago?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chicago parking is not always a continuous onslaught of rules and regulations. Most metered parking spots are free between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. and on Sundays. Parking meters do not accept payments on Sundays, giving drivers a much-needed break. However, don&#8217;t forget to check the parking signboards, since some areas have &#8216;7-day paid parking&#8217; spots that are excluded from Sunday free parking rules in Chicago. In certain areas like the Loop, free parking is enforced at half the daytime rate and at different timings (9 p.m. to 8 a.m.).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\" https:\/\/dev.way.com\/blog\/all-you-need-to-know-about-overnight-parking-in-chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also read: All you need to know about\u00a0overnight parking in Chicago\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking5.jpg\" alt=\"A car parked at a cheap parking meter in the Chicago winter \" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking5.jpg 870w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking5-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking5-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/chicagoparking5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_option_for_cheap_long-term_parking_in_Chicago\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is the best option for cheap long-term parking in Chicago?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let&#8217;s suppose you are a regular commuter in Chicago who travels to and from the office in your car.
