My movers got two parking tickets while unloading my stuff. Do I have to pay?

Sep 20, 2023 BrickUnderground

Usually a moving company will pay for parking tickets, according to our experts. But it depends on who you hire and what’s included in the price.

Parking in NYC is like a game of musical chairs with very few winners. It’s notoriously difficult—so much so that you can watch a whole HBO episode about it—and that’s just for regular-sized cars.

For moving companies, parking tickets are part of the cost of doing business. And that’s a cost they bear, says Dejon Reid, vice president of sales for the moving company FlatRate Moving.

“The city doesn’t accommodate free parking for moving trucks, so there’s usually a charge associated with the moving company,” Reid says. “We as a company know how a city operates. When we go to a move, the possibility of getting a parking ticket is almost 100 percent….as a company, FlatRate never charges clients for parking tickets.”
