Metered Parking Rates
Parking rates vary across the five boroughs and are reflective of neighborhood parking conditions including land use, density, and parking demand. There are different parking rate zones across the city tailored to improve curb access, promote turnover and increase parking availability. Rates and rules for commercial vehicles are different.
Hourly parking rates range from $1.25 to $7.50, and from $5.00 to $8.00 for commercial vehicles, depending on the location and duration.
Individual meter rates are posted on each parking meter and are limited to the posted duration on regulatory signage on each block. The maximum time for a parking session varies by type of vehicle and ranges from one hour to 15 hours. Metered regulations are not in effect on Sundays and drivers are advised to always check posted signage before parking.
