There are more than 700 on-street metered spaces in downtown Asheville. All meters are for short-term parking (two hours or less, as marked) at a cost of $1.50 per hour. Most meters now accept credit cards directly in the meter, though a handful may still require coins. You may also pay for on-street metered parking with a credit or debit card via Passport Parking by following the instructions listed on the parking meters. The metered spaces are enforced from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday--with the exception of City holidays.
PassportParking provides the easiest way to pay for metered parking spaces using your mobile phone. Registration takes two minutes and parking happens in a matter of seconds.
