17th Street Garage

Very convenient and affordable parking in South Beach.
We were quite stressed regarding the parking as it is quite expensive in Miami and could turn out to be more expensive than renting the car itself.
Our hotel had a $ 35 valet rate, and founding this parking with a flat rate at $ 20 for 24hours was just a relief.
They have different rates also like 1 $ per hour and the location is conveniently centralized.

Used this garage instead of paying $ 35 a night at the hotel. Very clean, safe and pleasurable experience.

Overall: Highly recommended — safe and far enough away to be easy to navigate to.
We ended up leaving our car in the garage quite a bit during our stay (over 50 hours combined), and I was a bit worried being a rental with a GPS unit that it might get stolen (or attempt to at least). There were no security problems whatsoever.
The entrance is just north of 17^th street, right across from a large surface parking lot. The first time you try to get in can be tricky because there are some one-​ways, but you will have a much easier time the second time. It is right near the convention centre.
We found that because it was extremely easy to access via Dade Blvd, we were able to avoid most of the horrible traffic you find in South Beach by «sneaking» in the back way (or so it seemed).
Take your ticket with you to pay on your way back (accepts credit cards) as others suggest.

On a family vacation to West Palm Beach, a few of us had to drop some family off to the ports in Miami for their cruise on a Saturday afternoon. After the drop off, we figured we’d take in the South Beach scene and spend a few hours walking around, grab some lunch. Not being familiar with the area but expecting it to be crazy for parking, I looked up best parking garages in Miami Beach. 17^th Street Garage popped up in Unilocal and a lot of the reviews seemed favorable, but not many were current. I crossed my fingers and hoped it would all work out. Sure enough, the parking garage was in fact still there and the rates were as good as I read about. We ended up only paying $ 4 for being there about 4 hours, I really don’t think you can beat that anywhere else in South Beach. Especially if you are only planning a short trip down there. I took the advice others gave, and I’d say the same to anyone reading this review… take your ticket with you so that you can pre-​pay it on your way back. We didn’t see long lines on the way out for people who didn’t pre-​pay, but I suspect on busier days it would save a lot of time. They have two separate gates depending on if you pre-​paid or not. While it’s not directly on Ocean Blvd, the couple of extra blocks to walk was more than worth it to only spend a few bucks to park. We actually stopped off right away in a restaurant right by the garage, off the main strip, to use the restroom and grab drink before our adventure! Couldn’t have asked for a better deal on parking!

Close to a bike rental (citibikes). Paid $ 1.75/hr for the short term lot. After we parked we realized the $ 1/​hr parking was in a different section. Oh well, still a good deal (compared to the $ 30 the other lots want!)

This is the best spot to parl. It only cost 1 dollar an hour to pay unlike the other parking lots and valets… seriously we were tourists and had to drive for miles and miles to try to find parking. I am so happy i was able to stumble on this parking lot, at first it looks a littly weary because its so empty. But its a hidden gem, and you get to exercise too!

Conveniently located to everything in South Beach. I like knowing that I don’t have to pay a flat daily rate extremely overpriced fee. Charge by the hour unlike other garages in South beach.

Safe garage, short trek to the beach. Only $ 1 an hour. Just a block to Lincoln Rd. Take your ticket with you and pay before returning to your car. You will avoid a huge line at exit if you do that.

Yeeey, this is THE BEST parking spot in South Beach Miami! And only $ 1 an hour!
We were driving around looking for parking, seeing signs with $ 20, $ 30 flat rate, and then somehow found this Public parking for $ 1 an hour.
It’s right next to Starbucks behind Lincold Rd. It’s just a minute walk to all restaurants and across the street is beach. Wonderful.
Might be tricky to find it as it’s one way here and there.

can’t beat the price for the location. only con is after a fillmore concert it’s a huge cluster F to get out. the prepay checkout stations don’t always work. gotta deal with it for the price and location. c est la vie !

Conveniently located behind Lincoln road this Parking garage is one of the few on the beach that doesn’t try to rip you off every weekend. ⁹⁄₁₀ times its a dollar an hour. Every once in a while its a flat rate if there is a big event at the convention center. There are 3 entrances, one off of 17^th, one off Pennsylvania ave. and one around the back by the back entrance of forever 21.
if you can get over the strong aroma of urine when you pull in, your golden.

One of my fav parking areas in Miami Beach. It affords good access, ingress, egress, regress and parking at rates far less expensive than most parking areas. It’s also handy to the Miami Beach Convention Center, the beach and Lincoln Road.
When there is something happening at the convention center it can fill quickly and when everyone is leaving, there can be long delays as well as traffic snarls. However, you can avoid most of that by remembering to take your parking ticket with you. Then, when you return and are ready to leave, there are convenient prepay machines located next to the stairwells so that you can quickly exit through a separate prepaid lane of traffic by merely handing the attended your prepayment stub.

I was driving circles around South Beach and I realized parking was going to be difficult. I stumbled on this garage and realized two things:
1. It’s right by the beach.
2. It’s $ 1 per hour. PER HOUR!
Yes!!!
If fact #2 doesn’t fill you with wonder (as it did me), I invite you to come to NYC and park your vehicle in a Manhattan garage.

Love this parking garage!
We decided to park our car here because our hotel charged $ 35/​night, which was not gonna happen! I’m glad I researched this before traveling to Miami.
1 – 8 hours: $ 1/​hour
8 – 15 hours: $ 15 flat rate
15 – 24 hours: $ 20 flat rate
The garage’s entrance, the one facing the convention center, was kind of hidden. It was hard to find at first which probably explains why there’s always so many parking spaces. We parked our car every night on the same spot right next to the elevators with no problems! The area seemed secured. I’ve seen a few cops drive through there all the time.
My hotel was near Lincoln Rd so it took about 7 minutes to walk. The garage stayed clean and the elevators didn’t smell like urine like most garages on Miami Beach.
Definitely will park here again next time!

First, Parking at Miami Beach is expensive and hard to find. This parking garage is ok. It’s no longer $ 1 for the first 7 – 8 hours as another reviewer said. When me and my gf went there it was $ 1,75 an hour. So a lot of places in that area charge the same. However, in this building there are cameras everywhere and there are lights everywhere. It’s also close to Lincoln road, so that’s a plus too.

never had a problem and ive parked here a bunch of times. Pretty much as cheap as it gets, has multiple ways to exit and enter walking, very big and spacious, has open stairs so its not some smelly stairwell. Gotta love it, always park here when I go to the concerts at the Gleason Theater. Also right off of Lincoln Road so it’s the perfect parking for anywhere near that area, and if you don’t mind walking a bit.

My favorite parking spot in South Beach.
$ 1 per hour for the first 7 – 8 hours. Perfect.
$ 20 for 24 hours? Amazing.
And your car is secure. I constantly see security walking around the premise.
The location is ideal to Lincoln Road, the beach and many other places. Once I found this garage I’ve never parked anywhere else.
A little note* Make sure to pay on your way to your car. If you prepay before you get in your car you can take the far left exit which leads you onto 17^th street (making the left at the light). The line for this exit can get long, especially if you’re doing a movie in the park or something else, but since you prepaid you can get in the prepaid line and leave without waiting. For some reason I never see people in that line. It’s a great timesaver.

This place totally saved my buns in Miami Beach. I was unaware that MB is a black hole for parking. It’s miserable. You can’t park anywhere. The valets charge you between $ 20 and $ 50 to park your car.
So my first advice is: Don’t take a car to Miami Beach. My second advice is: Use this garage. It’s $ 1 an hour or $ 20 total. The weather is gorgeous, take the walk and save yourself some dough.

Trust no other overpriced garage, only entrust this one!
This garage might be 5+ blocks to your destination, but listen up Miami, I know how a lot of you love to boast some sort of NYC connection, so walk the walk.
Yeah, if you’re trying to leave after a large event, you may want to escape a little early or wait it out and grab a quick dinner on Lincoln or just some gelato and people watching!
Anyway, just don’t park anywhere else because nobody likes to overpay for something like this!

This probably has to be one of the most affordable and accessible parking garages I have seen by the beach. Lots of parking spaces available!
The only con I could think of would be that I did not get much help from the parking attendant when the parking ticket machine would not accept my ticket. Frustrating, but I did get out! Just to clarify their was no acutal parking attendant there, but I pressed the help button and only got screamed at and was told to talk the parking attendant who was absent. lol
Park here if you ever want to shop on Lincoln Road. Highly recommended!
