Harvard Square Parking Garage

It would be great if they posted their rates in a place where you could see them before driving in. I know that this is standard operating procedure for most garages, but it shouldn’t be.

Centrally located clean parking in Harvard square with NYC rates…
If you were to do business with one of the participating stores listed at the entrance, you will get $ 2 off. Your parking ticket will have to be validated.

This is as convenient as parking will get in Harvard Square … if you’re willing to pay the price! The fee is maximum 25 $ (even on weekends), which is sooo worth it. A parking ticket is 30 $ at least! Save yourself the hassle of parallel parking.

Parking is a total rip off and nightmare in Harvard Square, but when you have to choose between getting ripped off at a covered garage or getting ripped off by a disgruntled or overzealous meter maid, you might as well go to a garage that is less of a rip off compared to other garages near by, is centrally located and well lit for safety, and happens to have a nice night worker guy at the booth who will without fail warn me that I have my front lamps off yet again (thanks buddy now would it really kill you to give me a discount?). Bottom line, I’ll keep parking here b/​c parking tickets are $ 35 and the meter maids around here are jerks. But I still reserve the right to complain.

The Harvard Square Parking Garage seems to have two addresses — 20 Eliot Street in addition to the 65 JFK Street posted in this business profile on Unilocal.
It is pretty centrally located and offers five floors of parking. Daily rates max out at $ 25 on weekdays and Saturdays. Evening Rates entering after 5 PM and all day Sunday max out at $ 15. Lost tickets will cost you $ 30. If you are fortunate to do business with one of their affiliated vendors, and have them validate your ticket, you can rate a $ 2.00 Validation. That was the only discount I could locate for this particular garage.
We were planning to park here since Park Restaurant & Bar advertises on their website that they offer free parking at this garage on Sundays — Wednesdays.
