Charleston, South Carolina — Beginning Wednesday, new parking fees will apply to two downtown Charleston garages operated by Charleston County.
Parking in the Cumberland (90 Cumberland Street) and King and Queen (85 Queen Street) garages will now cost $1 for every 20 minutes. The daily maximum pricing will be $24, with a $50 fee applied for misplaced tickets.
Higher monthly pass charges, which offer 24/7 access to Charleston County garages, will also go into effect on October 1. The following new monthly charges will be applied:
King and Queen Garage costs $215 per month.
Cumberland Garage costs $175 per month.
Cardholders with a debit or credit card on file with the county will have their payments processed at the new rate on November 1, according to officials.
Officials stated that the rate modification was intended to create a consistent pricing structure for transitory rates across all garages, following a thorough market investigation that revealed the county’s monthly and temporary rates were below market values.
