You won't have to look far to find convenient, safe and accessible parking facilities the next time you're either visiting or doing business downtown Kitchener. We offer more than 3,400 off-street parking spaces in and around our city's core - and more than 300 free two-hour on-street parking spaces.

We also manage 17 municipal car parks and five parking structures, offering reasonable rates to downtown drivers.

Our main objectives for all of our parking facilities are to provide:

Monthly parking pre-authorized payment plan

Paying for your monthly parking permit is easy and worry free when you set up pre-authorized monthly payments.

Payment is automatically withdrawn from a chequing account you have with a financial institution, on the 10th day of each month, and credited to your parking account. This service is free of charge; however, other bank charges may apply.

To set up pre-authorized payments, download our parking pre-authorized payment agreement. We require your written authorization before the withdrawals can begin.

By signing up for our pre-authorized payment payment, you will also support the environment and enjoy the following benefits:

  • It's paperless - you are now a green steward. You only need to provide one void cheque from your chequing account.
  • No transportation is required to make your monthly parking payment - this reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
  • No waiting in line to make a payment.
  • You do not have to worry about paying for postage or missing important payment due dates.
