Parking in Bakersfield

As the majority of medium-sized US cities, Bakersfield is a car-based city. Luckily, parking in Bakersfield is relatively cheap or even free, depending on the location.

Nearly all the major streets in downtown Bakersfield have designated parking spots. On-street parking is free, but there are limits regarding the maximum allowed time for stays (between 30 minutes and 2 hours). Time limits are enforced Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.

To stay for a longer period of time, look for a parking lot or garage. Several businesses downtown offer free nearby parking options.
