## About the Chicago numbers

### How much will it cost me to park in Chicago?

Plan on $206 to $360 a month for a typical spot as of September 2026. Cheaper lots sit outside the core, and reserved, covered, or 24/7 spots run above that.


### Is Chicago expensive for parking?

Chicago ranks #15 of 100 cities tracked, 110% above the national average.

### Do fleets pay the same rates?

Up to a few dozen vehicles at one site, fleet rates track these consumer rates closely. Larger fleets, oversized vehicles, and secured lots are priced differently.

### What affects the price?

Locations near airports, stadiums, and other high-demand areas tend to cost more. So do valet-only locations, lots that only offer reserved spots, covered or indoor garages, and 24/7 access. Uncovered, ungated lots are usually the least expensive, along with self-park locations a few blocks outside the core.

### How is this information collected?

We collect monthly parking rates from thousands of commercial garages and lots every month using publicly available data.
