How ParkWise works
ParkWise doesn't show an "hourly rate" — it computes what your parking will actually cost, for your exact hours, against each lot's real tariff rules.

The engine prices every lot nearby
Your parking window is split across each lot's real tariff rules: hourly steps, daily caps, one-time entry flats, night and weekend rates, entry-time-locked tariffs — summed into the exact cost of your stay.

Discounts apply automatically
City residents, Discount Bank customers and Central Park members see prices after their discounts, based on their profile.

Compare, choose, navigate
Results are sorted cheapest-first with accurate walking times. Picking a lot opens navigation in Waze or Google Maps.
FAQ
- Why is the ParkWise price different from the hourly rate on the sign?
- Because the real cost depends on your hours: daily caps, first-15-minute steps, night rates or one-time entry fees change the math. ParkWise computes the accumulated true cost of the whole stay, not rate × hours.
- Where do the tariffs come from?
- From public pricing information — official price lists and posted tariff signs — and from community-submitted tariff-sign photos that are extracted and verified before approval. Every lot shows its last price-update date.
