Parking Sydney CBD | Cheap Sydney Parking spaces to rent NSW

Parking in Sydney is not exactly cheap with casual day rates easily reaching as high as $80 and most people charged an average of $28.42 per hour. If you’re commuting in every day and expecting to park in Sydney CBD, you are probably reliant upon early bird specials or scouring the secure parking garages for flat rate deals to save as much as you can. For tourists and visitors to the city, most car drivers will be searching for street parking but parking spots, either midweek or over the weekend, are at an absolute premium. Even if you are prepared to pay the fees you are charged, it’s actually managing to find a parking spot that becomes the really difficult part. Parking lots are scattered all over the city offering patrons a low starting rate of $6 for 5hrs parking from Sunday to Thursday. The casino is located right on the harbour so for access to the rest of the city, you will need source public transport to get you around.

Have you ever been looking for parking in Sydney and driven past local businesses and residences and wondered whether the owners would be willing to let you park in their carparks, under their empty carparks and carports, or inside their garages? You’d only need to leave the car there for a few hours while you were at work and they obviously aren’t using the space. It seems like a win-win situation: you get a local car park close to where you need to be, and they get to rent out a spot they’re not using. Well, Parkhound has already thought about that and what we do is connect people who need spaces for their car with the people who have the space to spare.

The vibrant and thriving city of Sydney holds some of the most popular attractions and places to visit in the world. The city’s airport is located at Mascot, in the city’s southeast. Renowned for having arguably the most beautiful harbour, Darling Harbour is home to the world-famous Sydney Opera House, the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, a host of museums including the Maritime Museum and the Powerhouse Museum. People travelling into Sydney to see the sights will have the Royal Botanical Gardens on their list, Circular Quay and Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform which affords the intrepid climber 360 degree views of the city. If you’re feeling particularly brave, you can even scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a tourist walkway and tours scheduled every day of the week. The sunset and sunrise tours are considered the most popular.

Just outside of the central CBD, more is to be seen and experienced. Sydney’s Taronga Zoo is host to beautiful local and international wildlife, carefully cared for and conserved through expert breeding programs renowned around the world. Sydney is everybody’s playground with attractions made for children and adults alike. One of the most enjoyable ways of getting around the city is via the ferry system. Ferries operate for commuters and visitors alike, travelling from the north of the city in Manly and surrounding areas, down into the heart of the CBD at Circular Quay and beyond. Public transport in general is considered plentiful and fairly reliable with trains, light rail and bus systems criss-crossing the city and travelling out as far as Parramatta and the Blue Mountains in the city’s far west.

North Sydney has its own smaller CBD and a range of attractions including fantastic eateries and entertainment spaces. Like the greater city of Sydney, North Sydney parking is very touch and go with meters covering most of the busiest districts and parking time until 6pm and 8pm being restricted to just one hour.

If you’re travelling into the city to visit some of the sights and you’re local to the area, you will know how choked the roads can be and how difficult sourcing Sydney parking spots is. Inner city suburbs like Surry Hills are full of one-way streets and very little in the way of street parking exists except for a Sydney resident with the appropriate council permissions. Parking inspectors are ruthless, and any vehicle parked too long in a spot or parked in a no stopping zone will be stung with a fine. Disabled parking spaces are clearly marked but given the tremendous competition for spots throughout the city, you can never be guaranteed a spot. Parkhound is a network of available parking which connects people who need a spot with the residents and locals who have one to rent.
