Pay-by-phone parking is totally worth it

Fighting with Miami's computerized meters, which appear to function about as frequently as the Dolphins' draft strategy, is the only thing worse than having to feed a machine. Thankfully, a number of communities in Miami-Dade have implemented pay-by-phone parking, which allows you to reserve your place over the phone and then renew it straight from the app. It's also fantastic when you find a location and discover that every meter in the area is busted, which is a huge issue in Miami.

You can utilize the Pay by Phone app in Miami, South Miami, and Coral Gables all at once. A text message will be sent to you by the app a few minutes before your meter runs out. Although the app has a service fee, Miami residents who use it within the city limits can receive a 20 percent parking discount. Miami Beach, on the other hand, makes use of the ParkMe and ParkMobile apps to pay for parking (to find available spots).
