Find The Best Hobart Parking Near You

Tired of dealing with fiddly parking metres in Hobart? Locals and visitors alike struggle with hard-to-read screens, faded bay numbers, and no way to top up once time runs out. Prebook parking with Parkhound for an easier way to park in Hobart. Simply enter where you need parking, browse, and book!

Located along the coast of Tasmania, Hobart is Australia’s southernmost capital city. Millions of local and international visitors head to Tasmania each year, with a significant portion visiting this harbourside city to visit top attractions like the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), kunanyi / Mount Wellington, and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Hobart is also popular among families and workers for its laid back lifestyle and relative affordability, and generally strong job market.

But Hobart’s growth comes with growing pains, and parking is high on the list. There’s limited street parking availability in the busy city centre areas, such as Hobart CBD, where there’s high demand.

One of the biggest pain points for Hobart drivers is using the cashless parking metres. Many report glare on the screens, poor legibility, and card readers that glitch or reject payments entirely. You can’t extend your session once time runs out, so you’re forced to move your car and start over. Another common issue is faded or unclear parking bay numbers, which makes it easy to enter the wrong details. Even if you’ve paid, a small mistake can still lead to parking fines.

Reserve your spot in advance with Parkhound for a smoother parking experience. You don’t have to deal with faulty meters, short time limits, or confusing bay numbers. Just search, book, and park just a few steps away from your destination.

So whether you’re heading to Salamanca Market, parking near your office in the Salamanca precinct, locking in a spot close to home in North Hobart, or making your way to a lecture at UTAS Sandy Bay, book with Parkhound for stress-free parking. You can also filter for the amenities you need, such as motorcycle parking, disability parking, 24/7 access, undercover parking, security features, and more!

How much is monthly parking in Hobart?

The average cost of monthly parking in Hobart is around $290. However, prices can vary widely depending on the exact location, whether the space is reserved or unreserved, nearby amenities, security features, and how popular the area is.

These monthly rates are significantly cheaper than daily parking fees, which can reach up to $30 per day with council car parks or commercial parking operators. Parkhound’s listings are often up to 30% cheaper than traditional operators, especially if you’re booking long-term parking.

Where is the cheapest monthly parking in Hobart?

The cheapest monthly parking space in Hobart is an outdoor lot on Frederick Street, Surfers Paradise, listed at $260 per month — that’s around $9 per day!

Monthly parking is a smart way to save on costs, since it works out to a lower permanent parking rate throughout the month compared to fluctuating daily prices. For example, at Sultan’s Market Place Car Park in Hobart, drivers must enter between 6 am and 9 am and exit between 3 pm and 6:30 pm to qualify for the early bird rate. Arriving late or leaving outside those times means you'll be charged the standard casual parking rate instead.

You can also choose from options offered by private car park providers. This includes driveways, lockup garages, undercover parking spots, sheltered areas, and indoor parking spots offered by local hosts!

*Prices may vary daily, and availability is limited.

Where is the cheapest daily parking space in Hobart?

You can also find parking near major transport routes such as Rosny Park, Howrah, or even the Hobart CBD, which is only a 20-minute drive to the airport or easily connected via taxi, rideshare, or the SkyBus airport shuttle.
