Parking in Rehoboth Beach for the day depends heavily on the season; during the peak period (May 15 to September 15), parking is strictly regulated. For day-trippers, the parking meters are in effect daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with most costing roughly $4 per hour. These meters can be paid via quarters, credit card, or the ParkMobile app. If you are looking for a cheaper or more convenient long-term option, the city offers parking permits (daily, weekend, or weekly) which are required in non-metered areas from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A popular "stress-free" alternative is using the DART Park & Ride located just outside the city limits on Route 1, where you can park your car for a flat fee and take a shuttle bus directly to the boardwalk. For those arriving early, the parking lots at Deauville Beach (on the north end) provide a large capacity, but they also require payment during the summer season.
