Most early bird prices around the CBD finish around 8:30-9am. This one is extended to 9:30am! Schwing! It's location is more in the business district of Adelaide. But, not far to walk to the Adelaide Central Market or Rundle Mall. Only a few minutes either way. The carpark itself has a whole lot of reserved carparking on the lower levels. So, you should expect to have to drive up to one of the top levels. Not nice if you get dizzy on the way down. This carpark is also a little tight, so I have commonly seen people having to manoeuvre their cars back and forth before they can get it out. Best way is to reverse park if you can do that successfully. Only problem with this carpark is that it is not a 24/7 one. On weekends it's open to 12am.

She goes 7 levels at least, or that's as high as I've been. Like the magic beanstalk of multi-level car parks, only they're stealing your gold! There's always a spot before the top (if I didn't just jinx you). Don't quote me boxing day. Heading into the Myer Centre? Park on either the 2nd, 4th, 6th or 7th level, all of which have direct access. And take your ticket, you need to pay on the ground level in the Gawler Arcade near the lifts, thus avoiding a blond moment at the boom gates. Ever so central location next to the rundle mall canopy.

But it's cheaper to park down a block at the council run Gawler Place UPark and nearly as convenient. Most levels there connect directly to the Myer Centre via short hallways. And it's $4/hr charged in half hour increments vs. $5/hr to park at the Myer Centre. Specials: $6 flat rate on Sundays ($5 at Gawler Place Upark). And an early bird all day flat rate of $12 if you get in before 9am ($12.50 at Gawler Place). Only accessible for westbound traffic along North Terrace. Take a Larry at Stephens Place. Your cue to turn will be when the left lane of N. Terrace starts to become separated by a little kerb - get in that lane! Traffic from both directions on N. Terrace can get into Gawler Place.

When I go into the City to park, I like to support the Adelaide City Council UParks. I feel like…read morethe money that I spend at them at least goes into the fund (in some way) to put back into the Council Region. But this is my least favourite of their carparks and it is so annoying as it is in a great position. I park in it often, but I always semi-regret it. It is just an awkwardly designed carpark. There are lots of supporting structures to avoid and the directions are confusing. Especially for the first time going into this car park. It is confusing which way you need to go to get up and down and exit. There are arrows going everywhere... I just don't know what they were thinking apart from "let's create a maze of confusion to test the tolerance of Adelaideians". The carparks are a real tight squeeze, so be prepared to spend a little time adjusting to avoid your neighbours car hitting your car doors. Not to mention having to navigate concrete pillar supports. I see a lot of car paint on them which is saying a lot. The lift to go down levels into Topham Mall is also a little dodgy. I think it is just old and needs an upgrade. I usually just take the stairs and count it as exercise. Apart from that, the only reason I constantly park here is location. It is very central in CBD. So, I will put up with all of above as it makes my life easier getting around town. Also it has good after hour rates and early bird specials. As rates change, I will refer you to check on their website.

I don't think many people think to write reviews on car parks. But it is really something that all…read moreof us use when going into the CBD. We all have our favourites; I know I only go to a couple of car parks in the CBD. But these are the ones that I go to on a casual basis and not for reserved carparking. My first choice for car parks in Adelaide is the Rundle Street U-Park. I find that it is the most cost effective one on the weekend. Although car park prices change all the time, you will generally find that U-parks have a special or flat rate for evenings or weekends, which is great! Whether or not it changes in the future, I do not know? Currently you can get $6 flat rate parks on Friday evenings & Saturdays. I like this car park, as it is centrally located. I generally go to a lot of restaurants and stores on the East End of town. So it is my first car park of choice. There are always a lot of car parks available. Even during peak times like the Fringe. The first couple of floors are reserved for 3-hour parks; I think that this impacts on the availability of parks. Which is a great idea by the Council. The parks themselves are well spaced and there is not any concrete poles/supports to navigate around (which a lot of car parks have). Also, good to mention is that the traffic directions are easily understood. So you are not left thinking, "how do I get our of here?" There are six floors in this car park and it is decorated on the outside with the LED lit panels at night. It's funny that this caused a massive buzz and attention in Adelaide when it was first installed. Looks cool though!

It started out ugly because it was originally without barriers on each level, so someone threw herself off one level to her death below; the council decided barriers would fix that problem from happening again. The next this was the general ugliness of the building which after decades was covered with the silver metal fish scales it now has. At night that surface is coloured with computer generated animations - no big deal really - better looking than just a big silver monster. Car parking costs money, not really expensive. The great news is, free, undercover bike racks are also available.

Yup, this is cheap one for after-hours. Uparks have always been my go to in the CBD. As I have said in previous reviews, I choose to park here as the Adelaide City Council owns them and the money goes back to the city rather than a private company. This car park has great afterhour rates. As of the date of this review you can park here after hours for $7 flat fee: Mon - Thurs 4pm - 6am Fri 4pm - 12am Sat - 12am - Sun 12am Sun - 12am - Mon 6am It is not centrally located in the CBD, but really doesn't take that long to walk up either Currie or Hindley street to hit King William. Oh, do note that you will need to enter this carpark from the Morphett Street Entry. So, go around Light Square if you need to manoeuvre. The car parks are well spaced, but this is only a one story car park. So it does fill up quite fast. Worth checking for a space though due to the rates. Just a little heads up for the ladies parking here. Bring a friend with you when you park here at night. I have sometimes seen some interesting characters sheltering in here. I've never had any trouble, but better be safe! Apart from that, I park here very regularly and do recommend it as a cheap option if you are hitting down during the night!
