Parking close to Beachplace Towers

[Jwerking]

Found out that they are now charging $17 per day to park.

Does anyone know if one can find free street parking or a cheaper lot somewhere to park?

Any car rental locations closeby? I called the resort and they said no.

Thanks,

Joyce

Does that include tax and tips?

Do you really need a car? I get around Ft Lauderdale w/o one, esp. as most places up Los Olas also charge parking. Lots of cabs are always running around. Bus are only $1.25 plus the trolley is around also( some free, some $1). Plus the water taxi. And most day trip pickup free at the resorts. I got a taxis for $20 from the airport (for 2) and I was about 4 blocks further south than Beach Place. Plus, you have lots of nighttime and food places right there.

Just a thought,

We also didn't rent a car when we flew to BeachPlace - just no need for one. However, one year, we did a two-week trip - first week at BP, second week in HH, so we drove there in our own car. Of course, that was before they started charging exchangers for parking...

There is a small parking lot a couple blocks away, Don't know the streets name thou or charge.

Can't find the source, but I read somewhere that Beachplace parking was going down to $14 a day from $17 because the manager of the garage has lowered his fees to $80 a week. This still makes BP higher, however.

The GM's letter this week to owners adds to the confusion by indicating that owners who exchange into BP still have to pay, while I thought it also was for owners who used a BP week he deposited in II to get another date's week in BP.
