Parking in Kansas City

The Heart of America – that’s what Kansas City is unofficially called because of its central geographic location. It’s also called ‘The City of Fountains’ and ‘The Soccer Capital of America’, isn’t this enough to make you curious and visit Kansas City? But let’s see what it takes to park in Kansas City first.

Off-street lots and garages will charge $2 per hour and $12 for the day. Many lots only charge a flat rate for parking.

On-street parking is currently being improved in Kansas City. In an attempt to promote the turnover of spaces, the city plans to reduce the maximum stay limit at on-street meters to 2 hours. Other projects include upgrading payment options so that parking meters can accept debit and credit cards along with coins. Currently, drivers can already pay for on-street parking using the Parkmobile app.

The chance of finding an empty spot will vary depending on the popularity of the location and the number of parking facilities nearby. Here are the most popular destinations in Kansas City:

• Kansas City International Airport (notice how you can check availability in real time!)
• Midland Theatre
• American Royal Center Complex

To pay a parking fine, follow the instructions from Kansas City Municipal Court.
