Cost of parking
 

Whats the most you have paid to park your car. Last week I parked my car in a Wilson car park in Melbourne and they charged me $57 for just under 3 hours. Daylight robbery or what?

Hmmm - paid similar in Sydney a month ago. Think it was a Wilsons as well. Normally I park in free street parking spaces but on that occasion as I was in a bit of Sydney I didn't know and couldn't find any spaces free so had to do the car park thing. Cheaper than London though.

The best of it was though that the advertised sign stated "$18 for the first 3 hours". The small print which is unreadble while sitting in a car states "per hour"

I always remember Marks & Spencer in the Kings Rd, Chelsea. Back in 2003 you got the first hour free if you spent 10 quid in the store...otherwise it was 25 quid an hour!

Yep, it's scandalous. We've paid over $70 at a Wilsons on Kent St in Sydney.

(When I say "we", it's gone on The Geek's expenses, but still hurts. Unfortunately if he's in town he's usually carrying too much technology for the train.)

I don't think I've ever paid more than about 8 pound/hour in London.

Parking meters are only $4 per hour. I think this is a bargain. And I haven't ever had much trouble finding an empty one.

Aye, shocking ... my daily park is $15 a day over at South Bank, a pleasant (in winter) 25 minute walk to and from the office is a bonus and helps maintain the lard/lean balance sheet.

Only yesterday my friend was saying that they parked overnight in a car park in the city - not even 24 hours and were charged $95!

You don't park in the CBD during business hours much do you? :)

Yes, parking meters are the best bet, IF you can find an empty one.

Re: Cost of parking
 

Which car park was that?

Re: Cost of parking
 

The carpark in the china town is $7 per day roof top, that walk will keep you fit :)
I think that's the cheapest in Brisbane.
