Common questions about parking in Canberra
How much is daily parking in Canberra?
You can expect to pay an hourly rate of $3.80 (short stay) or $16.50 for a full day for off-street parking in Canberra.
However, it's important to note that in busy areas, the daily rate can increase significantly, depending on factors such as location, demand, and nearby amenities.
For instance, parking at Canberra Centre may cost you $30, whereas parking at 1 Phillip Law Street will set you back $26 for an entire day.
Commuters can save on parking costs by purchasing prepaid long-stay parking tickets for multi-stay car parks owned and operated by the ACT government.
The multi-day tickets can be used in the long stay car parks operated by the National Capital Authority (NCA) only and cannot be used in short stay car parks.
As of 1 July 2023, commuters can avail a multi-day weekday parking (5 days) pass that costs $80. On the downside, these parking stations usually have a limited amount of slots available - which can be a risky gamble for the daily motorist.
Drivers should also note that hours of pay parking in NCA parking areas is 8:30 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday to Friday (excluding ACT public holidays).
In addition to the options mentioned, a limited number of on-street parking spots are available for up to one hour at no cost. For longer stays of up to two hours, commuters should expect to pay around $7.20.
However, it's worth noting that Canberra's on-street parking availability is relatively scarce, primarily concentrated in specific areas like Allardyce Street, Windsor Walk, and Kaye Street.

There are also traditional parking operators in Canberra. Prices for traditional operators start at $4 for the first hour, but parking for a full day can cost you up to $21.
But while traditional parking operators offer discounts such as early-bird parking rates, weekend rates and rooftop parking, it’s important to note that not all allow pre-bookings.
So, even if you find an affordable option you don’t always have a guarantee that there will be a space available for you when you get there.
So how does Parkhound’s daily parking rates compare with other parking providers?
Off-street Daily Parking Costs in Canberra
Option | Price | Reserved? | |
---|---|---|---|
Council Parking Bays | From $16.50 | Unreserved | |
Traditional Parking Operators | From $17 | Unreserved (Pre-Booked) | |
Parkhound | From $11 | Reserved |
On average, using Parkhound can result in daily savings of around 35% compared to both traditional parking operators and council-owned parking bays.
How much is monthly parking in Canberra?
Monthly parking prices in Canberra are largely influenced by the location, what’s nearby, the level of security and how popular the area where you’re looking to park is.
Opting for monthly parking can be a practical solution to your daily parking challenges, but getting estimated costs for securing a permanent parking spot for a month can sometimes be a bit of a hassle.
With most traditional parking operators, you typically have to register on their platform to obtain a price for parking in car parks or commercial spaces they operate. Additionally, the pricing can fluctuate significantly based on factors such as the parking facility's current occupancy, its location, and whether you prefer a reserved or unreserved spot.
And while there are government operated parking bays across Canberra, these appear to be managed by commercial parking operators as well.
As with other cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, securing a reserved spot often will be at a premium price, whereas unreserved parking bays can sometimes have early bird parking deals. Keep in mind, early bird means that you’ll need to arrive and leave by a certain time.
How much can you save on monthly parking fees using Parkhound?
