This page lists the public parking the City of Coral Gables, Florida publishes for downtown, Miracle Mile, Giralda Plaza and the Ponce de Leon Boulevard area, with each rate quoted exactly as the City’s Parking Garages and Fees Information page and Parking FAQs printed them on October 20, 2026. The City puts this on several pages; we put it on one.

Where should I park?
Tell us how you are coming and what you plan to do. We rank the public lots and garages near the Boulevard by how close they are, with the rates and rules each operator publishes.
On-street parking: On-street meters in Coral Gables charge up to $3.50 an hour and are enforced every day from 9 a.m. to midnight. The City publishes the maximum only; the rate and time limit posted at each meter govern. Residents registered with the City get 25% off when paying with PayByPhone or ParkMobile. City of Coral Gables – Parking Garages and Fees Information; Parking FAQs; Resident Parking Rate Pilot Program
Distances in this picker run in a straight line between OpenStreetMap points, so the walk from a garage to Miracle Mile is a little longer. Rates quote the City of Coral Gables as read on 2026-10-20; the sign at the meter or garage has the last word.
Parked and ready? The day planner puts Miracle Mile, the Venetian Pool and the Biltmore in order.
City rates, exactly as published
| Where | City rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal garages | $1.00 per 24 minutes; $18.00 Maximum per day; $18.00 Lost Ticket per day | The FAQ: “$1 for every 24 minutes or any part thereof.” The day runs from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. |
| On-street meters | $3.50 maximum hourly rate | A maximum, not the rate at every meter. The posted rate and time limit govern. |
| City-owned lots | $4.00 Maximum hourly rate | Also a maximum. Follow what is posted at each lot. |
| Meter enforcement | 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to Midnight | No free Sundays or evenings before midnight. |
- City garage rates: "$1.00 per 24 minutes", "$18.00 Maximum per day", "$18.00 Lost Ticket per day"; the day "begins at 12 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m." City of Coral Gables: Parking Garages and Fees Information
- City: "$3.50 maximum hourly rate for on-street parking meters", "$4.00 Maximum hourly rate for city-owned lots", and "On-Street metered parking is enforced 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to Midnight." City of Coral Gables: Parking Garages and Fees Information
Because the City charges for every 24 minutes “or any part thereof,” a stay that runs a minute into a new block pays for the whole block. A long stay stops at the $18.00 daily maximum, and a lost ticket costs $18.00.

- City Parking FAQs says permits are sold "at all four municipal garages" and validations cover "Garages 1, 2, 4 and 6", while the Parking Garages and Fees page also lists a fifth, the Minorca Garage at 254 Minorca Avenue. So this guide lists the garages by name rather than giving a count. City of Coral Gables: Parking FAQs
All are in Coral Gables, FL 33134. The City’s FAQ refers to “all four municipal garages” in one answer, while its fees page also lists the Minorca Garage, so we list all five and do not quote a count. The City says it is working to move all municipal garages to PayByPhone and ParkMobile; for now it names only the Minorca Garage. The City publishes no space counts, opening hours or maximum stays for any of its facilities.

Paying: PayByPhone and ParkMobile
The City says “PayByPhone and ParkMobile are available for on-street, parking lot and Minorca garage parking payments.” Garages 1, 2, 4 and 6 work with a ticket and a pay station. The City pages we read give no zone numbers; use the number posted at the space or lot.
Coral Gables residents can register with the City’s Parking and Mobility Services Department for a 25% discount when paying with PayByPhone or ParkMobile, at app-enabled locations only. Documents go in each year by email to parking@coralgables.com (City resident rate program).
Validations, permits and accessible parking
- Validation: shops and restaurants buy validation tickets from the City for Garages 1, 2, 4 and 6. Each is worth up to $4.00 off, and the City says the benefit is for shoppers only. Ask the business; visitors cannot buy them from the City.
- Residential permit zones: a Residential Parking Permit costs $20.00 per vehicle per year. Each participating household can buy four visitor hanglets, and more cost $5.00 each per day. Without a hanglet, do not park in a posted residential zone.
- Monthly permits (for workers and residents, not visitors): Garages 1 and 2 and their group of lots are $123.05 for one month or $369.15 a quarter; Garages 4, 6 and Minorca and their group are $112.35 a month or $337.05 a quarter, per the City.
- Disabled parking permits: in a City garage the permit holder must be in the vehicle and be ready to show the permit and ID when exiting. The City does not say the permit means free parking, and private facilities may still charge.
- City Parking FAQs: a Residential Parking Permit costs "$20.00 per vehicle per year"; four visitor hanglets are sold per participating household, with extra hanglets "$5.00 each per day." City of Coral Gables: Parking FAQs
City or private?
The City’s FAQ warns: “Not all parking facilities in Coral Gables are operated by the city.” City lots carry City signs at the entrance and inside. “Private parking lots and garages establish their own rates and policies,” so the City rates on this page do not apply there. We leave private garages out because their prices change.
