ParkWhiz: Event Rates Overview

ParkWhiz: Event Rates Overview

Event Rates are special prices that apply when booking parking for specific concerts, games, shows, or other major events near a venue. These rates ensure you see the right parking options tied directly to your event.

How Event Bookings Work

When you search for parking by event or venue:

• Event Rates only – You’ll see special event pricing instead of standard daily/hourly rates.
  
  
• Extra time included – Bookings automatically include a 1-hour buffer before and after the event to give you flexibility.
  
  
• Nearby parking – Results show parking options within 0.5 miles of the venue by default.
  
  

Which Parking Locations Show Up

A parking location will appear in event search results if:

• It’s within 0.5 miles of the venue, and
  
  
• It has space available for the entire event window (event time plus the buffer).
  
  

Exceptions

Some parking options outside the 0.5-mile radius may still appear if:

• The location offers a shuttle service mapped to the venue, or
  
  
• The location is explicitly priced for that specific event.
  
  

Event Pricing Rules

• Lowest rate wins – If multiple event rates are available at one location, the system will automatically display the lower price.
  
  
• Overlapping events – If two events happen at the same time, the higher rate applies to prevent underpricing.
  
  
• Searching by address – If you search by address instead of the event, and the lot only has event pricing, it will display as a standard booking (not an event booking).
  
  

Benefits of Event Rates

• Upfront pricing for your event.
  
  
• Easy booking directly tied to the event you’re attending.
  
  
• Extra time included before and after the event.

Event Packages

Event Packages let you purchase parking for multiple events at a venue—most commonly for an entire sports season, but also sometimes for concert series.

Key Rules for Event Packages

• All-in-one purchase – Packages cover multiple event dates in a single booking.
  
  
• Non-refundable – Packages cannot be refunded once purchased.
  
  
• No partial refunds – Individual events within a package cannot be separated, canceled, or refunded on their own.

Note: All events within a package are linked. If inventory for any one event runs out or is paused, the entire package becomes unavailable until inventory is restored for that event.
