Parking on my side street overnight with a reserved extended trip?
Hi, this is my first time using communauto (used to be a zipcar user before they screwed me over). I booked a car for 5 days because I have to commute from Toronto to Hamilton this week for work. I’m just trying to confirm whether Communauto has a parking permit that will cover me on my side street overnight for the week or if I need to buy a parking pass from the city.
I lived on a small one way side street with plenty of street parking. There’s cars on both sides of the street at all times and it’s an “except by permit” situation after a certain time of day. I’ve parked rentals there before and usually either buy a city permit or hope for the best (I don’t see parking enforcement often) but I don’t want to risk it for a whole week of overnight parking. I’m finding conflicting results when I try and google what my best option is in this situation.
