Use parking only when you need it:

  • If you need parking for work, you can find spots to rent during working hours for a reduced price.
  • In case you need a monthly spot when you come back home, you can rent a monthly spot for overnight and weekends only.
  • And if you can’t afford a monthly parking spot, you will need to play the Oakland street parking game. Don’t worry SpotAngels is here to help! -> Check this Oakland street parking map to see free parking options around you.
