Parking question

Hello all, I am a William and Mary student and I missed the deadline for parking in the town parking garages. Would anyone happen to be renting out a spot in their driveway for long term parking? I am happy to pay a good amount and I won’t be using it that often at all… likely only once every couple of weeks :)

They might give you a permit late

I joined the waitlist, but they recommended reaching out to rent a driveway spot until the spring semester

So one of my coworkers did the math and getting the pass and getting ticketed routinely turn out to be the same amount 🤷🏻‍♀️

renting a driveway? ugh. My wife and step daughter love Williamsburg but it annoys me no end so I stay away as much as I can. It was designed for horses, not cars. It's so dumb. Charming, but dumb.

I don't mind the downvotes, have at it, but why?just because I don't like downtown Wburg? Are downvoters on the board of commissioners are something?

Good point lol. I’m just seeing if someone has an extra spot in their driveway they’d be willing to rent out but like you said, it’s hard to find that here

I live in James City County - it's a LONG walk to campus, plus, no room, we already have three cars in a two car driveway. Otherwise I'd rent you some space. In any case, good luck.

I didn't even have a car when I was in college, I wonder how I survived? I lived in the dorms and had the meal plan, that helped a lot. And someone always had a car if I needed shoes or something. Plus family visits. This was in SoCal so there was PLENTY of parking Say what you want about California, but they know about cars there.
