Is Detroit expensive for parking?

Detroit ranks #64 of 100 cities tracked, 11% below 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?
