New research commissioned by the NRMA has found parking fees in Australia’s biggest capital cities to be far in excess of what is paid in the US.

The NRMA published the findings in its Parkin’ Mad report, calling on action to be taken to stop Australians getting gouged for having to commute by road.

They compared average all-day parking fees in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, to cities in the US of roughly equivalent size – San Diego, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle.

All values have been converted from US dollars to Australian.
