Good to know about parking in Chicago
Parking in Chicago can be challenging, especially in busy neighborhoods like the Loop, River North, and near the lakefront, where spaces fill up quickly and traffic is heavy. Street parking rules change from block to block, with metered zones, residential permit areas, loading zones, and no-parking corridors that are strictly enforced.
Because of these limitations, reserving a spot in a garage or lot with ParkMobile before you arrive lets you skip circling the block and focus on your plans. When you know exactly where you are going to park and what it will cost, it reduces stress, saves time, and makes it easier to enjoy Chicago’s museums, restaurants, and waterfront without worrying about tickets or towing.
