Meters

In areas where parking meters are located, payment is required from 10 am-10 pm daily May 15-September 15.

The meter rate is $4/hour citywide. Payment may be made using a credit card or quarters at the multispace parking meter stations or by utilizing the ParkMobile app.

Parking in Metered Areas

Good to know

    • Head-in parking is required. Vehicles must be parked with the front of the vehicle toward the curb or edge of pavement in all angled or perpendicular parking spaces. (Handicap-accessible vehicles are exempted from the head-in parking requirement.)

    • Vehicles with handicap permits must pay meter fees.

    • Parking meters have a 12-hour maximum limit with the exception of those at Grove Park and 30-minute spaces.

    • All 30-minute spaces require payment during the parking season.

    • Meters require inputting all letters and numbers on your license plate.

    • There’s no need to place a receipt on your vehicle’s dash; parking payment is enforced using license plate reader technology.

    • Meter payments are nonrefundable.

Tips for using the multispace pay stations

    • Input information and payment utilizing the pay station closest to your parking space.

    • Press any key to activate the meter BEFORE entering the first digit/letter of your license plate number.

    • Enter all letters and numbers on your license plate (including PC on Delaware plates).

    • Select buy or extend parking time.

Tips for using the ParkMobile app

    • Be sure that you’ve entered or selected the actual vehicle you are parking; many app users have multiple vehicles assigned to their account.

    • Be sure that your parking location is set to Rehoboth Beach.

    • If you’re unsure of the zone number in which you are parking (zone numbers are located on signs and pay station kiosks), call the parking department at 302-227-6184 for assistance.
