Short-Term Parking

Motorcycles and trailers are prohibited from driving through the gates to the upper garage levels; however, limited FREE motorcycle parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis on the ground levels of the 9th & Front and the Capitol & Main garages. 

Monthly parking is due on or before the first of each month. At the time of sign-up, customers complete a monthly parking agreement and pay a one-time key card (access card) fee of $20.00. Ongoing monthly customers will receive an invoice for the upcoming month around the 15th of the prior month.  Payment is the responsibility of the parker and is due on or before the 1^st of the month.

Due to the high demand for monthly parking, prompt payment is necessary to secure a parking space. Fees are due by the 1^st of the month. Accounts not paid in full by the 7^th of the month may be blocked from accessing their garage until payment is received.  Accounts that are still unpaid by the 15^th of the month are subject to permanent cancellation and the parking space may be offered to customers on the waitlist.

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.

You can set up a recurring automatic withdrawal with your checking account or credit/debit card. This automatic withdrawal will occur on the 1st of the month. The monthly parking fee will automatically be charged every month unless you remove your Auto-Pay setup.

You can email info@ParkBOI.com or visit the ParkBOI office to cancel your permit.

A 30-day cancellation notice is required when cancelling a monthly parking permit.  Please return your key card and hang tag by mailing or visiting the ParkBOI office.

You can sign up by visiting the Find Parking page. Scroll to the list of garages to view garage availability.

Signing up for parking includes completing a Monthly Parking Agreement, paying your first monthly parking fee and paying a $20.00 startup fee.

If a location is full, you have the option to join a waitlist.

Some garages may have a waitlist. There is a $20.00 non-refundable fee to join a waitlist per garage. The waitlist fee will be applied to cover an admin fee once a parker has been selected. Each ParkBOI garage has a set number of spaces allocated for monthly parking and available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event the allotted spaces are sold out in a garage, customers interested in obtaining monthly permits have the opportunity to be added to a wait list for that specific garage.

As spaces become available through cancellations and/or non-paying customers, waitlisted customers will be contacted (first-come, first-served) to offer them the opportunity to accept a parking space. Should customers turn down the space or fail to respond within three business days, they will be removed from that particular garage’s wait list. Should a customer wish to remain on the list after turning down an available space they will be moved to the bottom of that wait list.

To add your name to a waitlist you can either call the ParkBOI office at 208-368-7944 or email your contact information to info@parkboi.com.

We ask monthly parking customers to park above a certain floor to allow hourly parkers visiting local retail and restaurants to park closer to the street. Monthly parkers are charged a lower daily rate compared to the normal $15 rate. In exchange, we ask monthly parking customers to drive a little further up into the garage.

Please contact ParkBOI at (208) 368-7944 should you need assistance. ParkBOI staff or our security company provides the following for your convenience:

• Jump-Start assistance

Hourly and daily parking validations are available for purchase at the full rate ($3.00 per hour or $15.00 per day) from ParkBOI. Businesses often use these to validate their customer’s parking tickets at their discretion.

The City of Boise’s ParkBOI E-Permit program is designed as a low cost permit for downtown employees. Permits are valid in designated areas in the perimeter of downtown, but permit holders can park in these spaces any time during the week. These permits are $25/month, but the fee can be waived if the employee utilizes alternative transportation for 5+ days in the preceding month (for example you could ride the bus to work 5 days during the month of May and get June’s permit at $0.00). This program is based on availability and is subject to a lottery every six months to ensure equal access.

The Twilight E-permit program was developed for downtown employees who work later afternoon or evening shifts. The cost is $15/month and allows parking after 3 pm at parking meters in zone 3.

Both permits use a vehicle’s license plate as an electronic permit so applicants can purchase them online and use them immediately without making a trip to City Hall.
