Trinity Parking Garage — Local services in Austin

We went to the Moody Center two nights in a row and used their "pre-paid" parking option, which is a great option when you're fighting traffic, running late to a show and don't have time to chance it by ssarching for parking on the streets. The first night, we used the Manor garage which was great and is right next to the Moody, but $61. The second night, I didn't book in time and the Manor garage was sold-out, so we went with the Trinity garage for $37 (it's insane to me that event parking pricing has gotten this expensive, but it is what it is, a "life tax" I guess). The attendants were friendly, but in the Trinity garage, we had to go almost all the way up, circling around the 5th or 6th level (that moment of panic when the show starts in 10 minutes and you're arguing about finding a parking spot) then we finally got a spot. We didn't want to squeeze-in to a tiny elevator full of people, so down the stairs, then three blocks uphill to the Moody Center. It wasn't a horrible experience, but if you're going to the Moody for a show and don't mind paying "life tax", do your family a favor and book a spot at the $61 garage the night...

Dear UT students, Do not buy a resident parking permit here. During the fall they make you relocate your car for all football games, only to garages all the way across campus. They also just opened the Moody Center in which you can’t remove your car from the garage unless you want to park at another garage (keep in mind you are required to return your car before 7 am the next day). The new rule makes it impossible to return your car on time because concerts are always at night. Students do not have priority parking at this garage, which causes unneeded stress...

Beware! Both exits have a light immediately outside it so its takes forever to get out. We parked on the 4th floor and used the 4th floor exit and it took a full hour to get out still. The up/down ramps are two way so people choose which way to go and end up stuck and block traffic. The owner of the lot only had two people working who are not meant to direct traffic into the streets but those poor people ended up having to go into the streets on their own to help. For events at the Moody Center it cost $40 and was an absolute mess. Go to literally...
