Security - You may feel more comfortable parking in or walking late at night to a garage that is well-lit from the outside and inside, and where the valet booth is located near the entrance.

Reliability - The larger companies most likely have employee standards that provide for a more enjoyable parking experience and some recourse if you have a complaint. Of course, this is not to say that an independent garage owner would not strive to deliver superior service.

Discounts - From time to time, some of the larger garage companies offer discounted rates for frequent customers. Edison ParkFast's PayFast card allows you to pay in advance and receive a discount at the Hippodrome garage. Icon Parking offers discount coupons on its website.

Oversize vehicles - If your car, van, or truck exceeds certain height and/or length measurements, you will typically pay an extra five to ten dollars to park your car. Most garages use these guidelines:
SUVs and other Oversize vehicles 181" or longer or 70" or higher (or 75" regardless of length).
