Earlier this summer, Miami drivers got the much-welcome news that the City of Miami Beach was graciously reducing parking rates to a single buck through the end of August. And that good news is getting even greater, as $1 parking has officially been extended through Tuesday, September 30.

As announced by the City of Miami Beach on its social media accounts, the dollar parking program will apply to all municipal parking zones citywide, including lots, garages and metered street parking, as long as they’re operated by the City of Miami Beach. (That means no private lots.)

Available exclusively through the ParkMobile app, the offer allows drivers to park for up to three hours at the discounted rate per session. When a user enters the zone number in the ParkMobile app, a pop-up promo code will appear to receive the discount. (And, helpfully, the program auto-locks the discount by zone so once the promo code is entered, it will remain active for repeat parkers, and you won’t need to re-enter it for the remainder of the promotion.)

A maximum of 15 total discounted parking sessions will be allowed per user during the promotional period, adding up to 45 hours of cheaper parking over the two-month period. And each individual parking session is capped at three hours, though back-to-back sessions are allowed until the 15-session limit is reached. 

It's a surprising move for a notoriously pricy city, especially where travel is concerned, but the extension is a strategic effort to drive both cars and customers to local businesses during what is known to be a slower, more sluggish season for tourism in Miami. For the latest updates and more information, visit Miami Beach’s website.
