Parking your car somewhere soon? Check out this app.

Parking ramps can be a little sketchy. I didn't want to park here anymore.

I was on my way downtown for the NCTE conference and was unsure where to park. Sarah mentioned this app she used to find and pay for a spot before she ever left home. If that isn't enough it was half the price of the other spots! I'm thankful for Sarah's advice, it saved me a ton of money.

Start by downloading the SpotHero app on your device and create an account.

I searched for parking near the convention center.

Clicked on the $5 spot.

Click reserve spot.
It automatically charges your card.
I was shocked when I saw the kiosk in the parking lot, it was charging $10 for the spot!
