Calling all my Chicago readers! If you are like me, finding a parking space in the city of Chicago can be very difficult. I hate driving into the city without having my parking figured out ahead of time. There is nothing worse with getting to a parking garage and finding out it is going to cost $30 or even worse $60. I know that makes me want to not even come into the city for things! However, ParkWhiz has solved this problem for me. They created the cheapest way to park in Chicago, with rates of $15 up to 12 hours!

Navigating 130 parking rates around the city is complicated and a total pain in the butt. With ParkWhiz you can now grab a spot for a flat $5 an hour or just $15 gets you a spot all day! Their site was beyond easy to navigate. However, this is why I love it so:

Screen Shot 2015-07-09 at 5.43.25 PMYou all know I'm not originally from Chicago. That means I have zero sense of direction once I get into the city. ParkWhiz's app gives me directions right to your guaranteed spot. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten lost trying to get to parking garages I've found online beforehand! This literally solves a problem that I have! I also love that it tells me the walking distance to my final destination. City blocks in Chicago can be pretty big. Something that looks like small distance on a map isn't always that way! You can also show your parking conformation from the app right on your phone when you get to your parking spot.
