Best Free Parking Lot Wilmington Near Me

4worldlovers:
Vehicles illegally parked within downtown that have three or more outstanding parking citations 90 days past due are subject to having an immobilization device (commonly referred to as a 'boot') attached to their vehicle.

Come to the Park Wilmington Office at 11 N. Second Street between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday to settle outstanding parking citations and pay the $50 booting fee. Vehicles not claimed within 24-hours of the boot are subject to towing.

The City is not responsible for any damage to a booted illegally parked vehicle resulting from unauthorized attempts to free or move that vehicle.

Immobilized vehicles that have been towed may be reclaimed from the vehicle impoundment lot once all requirements have been met.

In order to have your vehicle released, please go to Kirby's Towing, 1513 Castle Street.

Vehicles park illegally to constitute a hazard or obstruction to the normal movement of traffic.

Vehicles that have been booted and have not been released within 24-hours after boot.

Notice: Due to Federal Regulations, vehicles that park next to the Federal Courthouse downtown will be towed. Signs are posted.

There are a number of private lots throughout Wilmington who enforce parking through towing. Non-consensual towing of a vehicle is a matter between the lot owner, the vehicle owner, and the tow operator. The city does not manage these lots.

All private lots must clearly post signs warning of towing risks. The city regulates towing fees that can be charged for cars towed without owner permission.

May 16, 2023 - Current (2022-23) annual Faculty/Staff permits cover parking in the summer, and as a reminder, there is no longer a payroll deduction in June and July! No action is required for summer parking unless you need to update your vehicle information (in the parking portal).

If you do not have an annual permit, we offer several alternate parking options below:

Hourly Parking: Available at any ParkMobile location, $2/hour (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). See ParkMobile locations for more information.


Summer Permit: $45/summer (June and July), purchases in the parking portal.

Summer Deck Permit: $60/summer (June and July), purchases in the parking portal.

Virtual Permits and Parking: All parking permits are virtual, where your license plate acts as the permit—there are no permits to pick up and no permit to place on or hang in your vehicle! Because your parking permit is associated with your license plate, you must park with your license plate facing the drive lane (you cannot back in or pull through a parking space).

If you wish to pull through or back into a parking space: you must have a vanity license plate affixed to the front bumper of your vehicle to comply with the license plate recognition technology. Vanity plates are not permits to park; they supplement your valid parking permit to allow you to pull through / back in.

(If your vehicle is licensed in a two-plate state, and you already have a state-issued license plate on the front of your vehicle, a vanity plate is not needed.)

Upcoming 2023-24 Academic Year Permit Registration: Online permit registration information for the 2023-24 academic year is coming soon! An announcement will be sent in June.

We wish everyone a great summer! Please contact parking@uncw.edu or 910.962.3178 with any questions.
