Santa Monica Just Made
Parking More Expensive.
We Have a Better Idea.
Downtown meters now $3/hr. Beach lots up $2–$5. Previously free neighborhood lots now cost money. The 90-minute free downtown grace period cut to 30 minutes. Santa Monica parking is getting more expensive every year — and a scooter from FE Motorsports parks free, everywhere, every time.
Santa Monica Parking — What Changed in 2026
Santa Monica approved sweeping parking rate increases in 2025 that took effect January 12, 2026. These aren't minor adjustments — they're a fundamental shift in how the city approaches parking revenue. The goal is to generate up to $9 million per year in additional revenue, and residents and visitors are paying for it directly.
