The Republic Parking Services lot on South Henry Street provides parking for $2 an hour. Fees are payable by cash only. The company currently operates seven parking lots in Alexandria, offering a combined total of nearly 900 parking spaces.
This Republic Parking System lot, called Courthouse Square, is a convenient place for patrons of the nearby shops, courts and municipal buildings to park. Rates are $2.00 an hour before 5 pm and $.50 an hour after Sunday through Thursday. There's an $8.00 a day maximum; $1.00 an hour on Fridays after 5 pm. Word to the wise: cars released after the garage closes will be charged a $25.00 fee, so patrons should be sure to get back on time to avoid shelling out extra money.
Republic Parking is across the street from the Torpedo Factory Art Center and Old Town's waterfront. Weekday rates are $3 per hour, with an $8 maximum. Weekday evenings (after 5pm) and weekend rates are $2 per hour, with a $4 maximum. Open Friday and Saturday until 2:30am, Republic accepts cash only.
