Miami Beach Municipal Parking Garage — Local services in Miami Beach

There are different options and ways you can handle parking in Miami. Park here with a flat rate(I think $30 on long weekend, $20 regular) per day, or cheap per hour charges. I have seen it getting filled fast so try to find early or come again after sometime. Park by street if you are not parking for more than 2 hours. I think rate is something like $6/hr. Park in the Miami Beach parking lot by the Ocean Dr, and walk around, it is also hourly rate but can be cheap compared to other options. If you are fine to walk for 15mins from the beach you can easily get $20/day rates. Park in the downtown and take hop in, hop off bus. Here also you might pay hourly rate. There are some parking lots close to beach which can change you $100/day, do not go in there.

It takes a day or 2 to understand all this, so understanding the situation...

The employees at this garage are running a criminal operation. When I tried to pay at the payment machines, one was out of order and the other refused all credit cards, leaving cash as the only option. It also asked for more than twice the posted rate and provided no receipt. After paying more than twice the posted rate, at the exit the barrier didn’t open and was I asked to pay again, this time the posted rate. So, they stole my cash for more than twice the posted rate, and then they wanted me to pay the posted rate to let me go. When I said that I was going to call the police because they were robbing me, they promptly opened the gate, but no refund for the overpayment and no receipt. I don’t know if my credit card details were stolen too or if this scam is known by the city. This happened on...

I would really rather rate individual aspects of this garage, because I feel like 3 stars is too low, but 4 may be too high.

Let's call it 3½ 🌟

Easy, affordable parking in a really convenient spot. I really have a hard time giving it more than 3 stars on here due to the care taken of the garage. It was absolutely filthy, I dreaded walking back to my car because of the overwhelming smell of human excrement that assaulted the senses when you got near. Maybe I chose a particularly bad corner, but man I feel like they really could do a little more to take care of that place. With that being said, I would probably come back with that in mind and maybe park in what looked to be a cleaner part of the lot.

Protip: get there before noon if you can, when it fills up you...
