Parking in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is a global economical hub and one of the largest cities in the area. Here are some useful tips to help you find the best parking location.

In Minneapolis parking meters are abundant. There are around 7000 meters in total;  so parking in Downtown Minneapolis shouldn’t be a major problem. The city is divided into several on-street zones with varying rates and time limits. The maximum stay limit can vary from 2 to 10 hours. The rate for parking at meters can range from $0.25-$2.75/1 hour. Single-space meters accept coins and bills. There are more advanced singles-space meters that also accept credit cards (Mastercard, American Express, Visa).

Multi-space meters accept coins, bills and cards. When parking at one of these meters, introduce the number of the space you’ve parked at and take your receipt with you.

During events on-street rates can range from $1.50 to $4.00/1 hour.

Meters are not enforced during national holidays.

Off-street rates are around $4-$5/1 hour and $18/24 hours. The average monthly parking price is in the range of $150.

You can click on a marker, e.g. the Convention Center (Central Lutheran Ramp) or the Gateway Ramp, and it will show you all the basic information on that location, such as price, opening hours, etc.
