Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Hobart

Parkhound has been around since 2015. We connect Drivers with local parking Hosts, so you can book a parking in advance instead of looking for parking on arrival. We help communities make use of underutilised parking spaces, increasing the number of options for Drivers to choose from without building extra car parks. The platform solves parking woes which means less traffic near popular attractions and traditional parking facilities. Parkhound offers drivers a safe parking alternative which can help save you money and time.

Our marketplace community has grown to over 200,000 members already, with hundreds of listings being added each month. We also launched an app in 2018 which now gives you all the benefits of Parkhound, while on the go.

On Parkhound, Hosts advertise parking opportunities, ranging from driveways to undercover parking lots that the owners aren’t using themselves. You as a Driver can browse the options on the Parkhound platform, or using our app, and find a parking space close to your destination.

Book your Hobart parking online, using Parkhound for payment and communication with your Host. Now you can simply arrive and park, with no need to search for a spot, because it’s reserved for your exclusive use throughout your booking. Parkhound has both short- and long-term parking options, creating parking solutions for a day’s shopping as well as for monthly parking near the office for Hobart employees.

You need to budget around $310/month if you use one of the City of Hobart’s council car parks for long-term parking. Benefits include 24/7 access, security and, as there are eight council car parks in the area, you’re likely to find a convenient space near work or home. Unfortunately, their popularity means there’s a waiting list so you can’t be sure when a space will free up. If you are able to secure a space, make sure to look after your card because a replacement will put you $55 extra out of pocket.

With traditional operators, Hobart Drivers will pay around $315/month for monthly parking. Unfortunately, you first need to go through an application process first before you can start parking.

Through Parkhound you can get access to many more options for monthly parking Hobart Hosts are advertising. These are available at rates as low as $175/month. Simply jump online and book! Usually, Parkhound Hosts respond to booking requests within 24-48 hours.

To park your car off street for the day, rates range from $10/day with Parkhound to $23/day using council car parks and traditional operators. Using a traditional operator, you’ll pay around $20/day, but with Early Bird fees it will only be $14. You need to be in by 9am and can leave after 3pm. Keep an eye out for special deals on certain days, such as a $6 flat rate on Saturdays at Trafalgar Place car park. You can also get an hour’s free parking at most car parks.

The City of Hobart’s 8 car parks each have their own operating hours. Some are open 24/7 but Hobart Central car park opens at 7:45 and Melville Street car park only at 8:30. Some have restrictions, such as the 3 hours voucher parking at Melville Street. At Lefroy Street there’s a 3 hour limit during the day, but after 9pm you can stay as long as you’d like.

You can opt for street parking, but especially close to the city centre you’re not likely to find one available, because of their popularity. After 6pm some of these spots are free to use. The City of Hobart uses an EasyPark system to facilitate parking payments. This makes it easier to pay, but you’ll be charged transaction fees and if you use it 3 times a week or more, an additional monthly fee applies.
