We are proud to officially announce a partnership with Lyric Opera of Chicago. As a partner of Lyric, we will offer online pre-reserved valet parking to patrons for the upcoming opera season. The opera house seats 3,500+ and with over 70 performances, that’s a lot of parking! Our goal is to take the frustration out of parking and allow patrons to enjoy a night at the opera.

Please read our press release here and some of our news coverage here. You can also see available parking options and reserve your parking for the upcoming opera season at the Lyric website by clicking here.

On behalf of the ParkWhiz team, thank you for your continued support.

How would you like to have a week of your life back? According to the Texas Traffic Institute, drivers sit in traffic for almost a week’s worth of time to and from their jobs! LA has the worst congestion, followed by Atlanta and SF.

One of the big contributors to the traffic congestion is drivers “cruising” for parking. Studies show that drivers looking for parking generate about 30% of the traffic in central business districts.

Next time, plan ahead and know where to park before you leave using parkwhiz.com. If you’re not at home, no problem. Simply open your mobile browser to parkwhiz.com and get the same results. You can save time, money, and frustration, plus help the environment in the process!
