There are plenty of garages in and around Center City so there's no need to use a valet service. It is, however, pretty expensive to park downtown. Depending on the time of your appointment, early bird or evening rates might be available. Parking mid-day will easily run $25+ if she's right in the center of town.

I guess that beats $50 for valet. I will be an am appointment so maybe early bird will be an option. What about on street parking?

There are a ton of surface lots downtown as well. For me typically easier than garages.  Good luck.

There is an app for that

Try the BestParking app - available for daily and monthly parking. I have used it successfully. Depending on where you are, you can try street parking, especially if it's a 1 hour appointment....and if you leave yourself enough time and are feeling lucky

glad someone brought this topic up.    I find parking in center city expensive and difficult. I really hate driving in big cities.    I have passed up providers staying in downtown Philly because of this.     I much prefer NYC.   I take a train in from New Jersey and most hotels are a short walk.    Public transportation into Philly is also more challenging compared to NYC.
