      Wilson's app is crap. Secure park website is good.

    Thanks OP.

    Wilson parking's book ahead and save always doesn't work if you're booking on the day itself and it costs you less than paying when you enter. Hopefully this code would address this.

    • gadgetguy on 05/07/2021 - 12:56

      I've been able to use previous $5 parking bookings an hour or so beforehand.

    • dukeGR4 on 05/07/2021 - 16:07

      friend did it like an hour before hand. no issues there.

    Where the BOGOF deals ?

  • astroe on 05/07/2021 - 09:59

    Wilson Parking normally gave me evening and weekend parking for $5 through the Book a Bay function of the app.

    • JimB on 05/07/2021 - 15:43

      I use the Wilson app quite a bit, only few car parks have $5 evening and weekend carpark, usually the ones further away from the middle of the CBD or small very tight carparks.

      QV was still $12.

  • OnepunchDan on 05/07/2021 - 10:10

    Wow! For $5 parking to be considered a deal, parking must be horrible in the city.

    • tp0 on 05/07/2021 - 10:38

      Street parking is $7 per hour usually until 8:30pm (sometimes a little earlier in some areas of the CBD) so yeah I'd say this is a good deal.

      Moving people away from street parking is a good initiative. It isn't very efficient to have people driving around in circles looking for a spot. The space is better used for pedestrians and cyclists. The alternative ideally would be city owned parking garages like in a lot of US cities but unfortunately in Australia privatisation is all the rage.

        $7/hour? Geez..

          What planet are you on Bud standard parking around $16 ph ( 50% off after hours ) from Wilson .

            @popsiee: From the planet 'don't drive to the city'.

            • Agret on 05/07/2021 - 18:54

              @OnepunchDan: At night time it's normally around $20-25 flat rate. I'd rather pay $20 for a car of 4 people than each person be slogged $12 on Myki fare and we save an hr of travel time by driving in. Can also leave on your own time rather than having to wait 20min for the train to come (or worse, the night rider…). Driving to the city is far superior than public transit unless there is an event on causing congestion.

              • OnepunchDan on 05/07/2021 - 22:49

                @Agret: Clearly this deal is for people who rather not take public transport and are willing to pay good money on parking. Also it's not worth paying > $20 on parking if you're only travelling by yourself is it?
                Obviously if I drive to the city and use paid parking alot then I would've considered this a good deal. Fact is I don't travel to the city often so people needa chill. My post is not discounting the fact that this may be a bargain for others..

    How does booking work, never done before. What do you do at the gate?

    • Chchnu on 05/07/2021 - 10:33
      +6

      You have to lightly bump the boom gate at the gate 3x then reverse back to the intercom machine and press and hold the ticket button for 5 seconds. Then tap intercom 4x and the person on other end will match that to your online booking and open the gate for you.

    • silverrat23 on 05/07/2021 - 11:48

      On a serious note, how does it work?

      • netjock on 05/07/2021 - 12:41
        +4

        Put in your car number plate and they have plate recognition. Or linked to your credit card (insert same card as you booked)

    Meh. Good deal on parking, but there's nothing worth seeing or going to in the CBD anymore anyway.

  • truetypezk on 05/07/2021 - 12:29

    Planning to spend a Friday night at a city hotel, anyone knows if I can just book one session from friday afternoon to sat morning and another one from Saturday morning to evening? Or do I have to move the car out and re-enter at the expiry of the first parking session?

    • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2021 - 14:17

      you can a long weekend session depending on the carpark, normally works out to be cheaper.

      • truetypezk on 05/07/2021 - 15:10

        Neither chain allows me to book a longer session online somehow. Says no product found when I book from friday afternoon to sat afternoon. Weird.

  • netjock on 05/07/2021 - 12:42

    $5 parking have been around for a while probably not as many parking locations as this.

  • Duckie2hh on 05/07/2021 - 12:55

    Any recommendation for a cheap overnight parking?

    City is dead thanks to the unnecessary and long lasting lockdowns and restrictions.

    They will lockdown the state though If there are 4 people are coughing at their homes tomorrow. Parking is available yet bars and clubs are barely open.

  • deal seeking missile on 05/07/2021 - 15:25

    i'd rather a 2 week lock-down early on (with 4 cases) than a 2 month lock-down when its gone out of control (like in Sydney)

    deal seeking missile on 05/07/2021 - 15:25 (Collapsed - Offtopic. Show)
    • baldur on 05/07/2021 - 17:31

      It takes two months to get back to the pre lockdown conditions though.

      • deal seeking missile on 05/07/2021 - 19:08

        In what way do you mean exactly?
        Once a lock-down ends we're mostly free to do what we want. If people are too afraid to go to bars and clubs that's not because of the lock-down, that's because people are still scared from the last outbreak. More so if the outbreak was severe. If NSW had done what the other states are doing with their early circuit-breaker lock-downs (when there are only a few cases) they wouldn't be in the mess they're in now. The pubs and clubs in Sydney are f'ed for the next 3 months and it could've all been prevented.
        A single party at the wrong time could spread the virus like crazy and cause hundreds on people to quarantine at home.

    Parking should be free

  • RogerLee on 06/07/2021 - 09:33

    awesome deal, but previously using secure a parking for weekend and weekday evening parking also around $5

  • trainingwheelz on 06/07/2021 - 10:21

    $5 is about what parking should cost at any time. Parking prices are the biggest scam ever.

  • mouseman99 on 06/07/2021 - 20:11

    Any good all day parking about?

    • Zippy135 on 07/07/2021 - 18:57

      What days were you looking and how long for?
      Queen Vic Market has all day parking for $18 on non market days (Monday & Wednesday). Plenty of car parks do early bird deals, get in before 9-10am (depending on car park).
      Just saw 420 Lonsdale Rd does $15 early bird on Monday and Friday with promo code MONFRIYAY.
      Don’t know if that helps.

      • mouseman99 on 08/07/2021 - 00:02

        I'll check it out.. thanks very much

  • Chockie13 on 07/07/2021 - 16:49

    Booked with Wilson for the weekend (online booking did not work in my FireFox but was OK in Chrome)
    $5 including booking/fees, where it seems the other two companies add another $1 or so more.

    • DamonT on 12/07/2021 - 21:20

      Thanks Wolfy, yep wouldn't work with firefox
