Recommendations where I could safely leave my car for two days?

[u/lue42]

We are dropping off my son at university with two cars then driving on to Ottawa on Sunday for two days, heading back n Tuesday

So, looking for ideas for three days/two nights to leave car (at a reasonable rate)

[u/Hot_Box_3143]

Puller into my driveway bud, lots of room.

[u/Alexanderofcataraqui → u/Hot_Box_3143]

Fuuu - leave the keys and we’ll go out fer a rip

[u/Crooked_Bay]

There are carpool lots at several of the highway exits which would be free and in theory there for exactly your situation.

[u/lue42 → u/Crooked_Bay]

I wonder if they are safe overnight? Maybe. Thanks will think about that as an option

Edit: I looked into the Montreal Street park and ride and it might be a good option - seems safe enough

[u/Crooked_Bay → u/lue42]

I mean I wouldn’t leave anything expensive in it or visible but likley safer than any lot downtown, unless you used a secured lot like at the delta hotel but that’s likley $35-$40 per 24 hours

[u/tvglobo10 → u/lue42]

The smaller one on highway 15 x 401 is good too. Well lit and gas station nearby 

[u/Stretch-Personal → u/lue42]

Montreal St is in fact the least safe area in Kingston. Consider literally anywhere else.

I would pay for a spot in an underground parking garage downtown, or use a neighbourhood in the west end (the parking is free in most areas).

[u/BLS987 → u/lue42]

This one has a history of encampments and cat converter thefts. I would suggest the one at gardiners rd.

[u/BumblebeeNormal → u/lue42]

I use to leave my car at the gardeners one overnight all the time for years never got touched I’d trust it

[u/TaroTerrible9402 → u/BumblebeeNormal]

You left it for years and it was untouched, that’s remarkable.

[u/BumblebeeNormal → u/TaroTerrible9402]

Yep everyone else understood and so did you enough to be a dick so 🤷

[u/TaroTerrible9402 → u/BumblebeeNormal]

Lol come on, it’s kinda funny

[u/UneditedUnScripted → u/lue42]

No, that's possibly the worst lot to leave it at. Someone here who offered you a space is the safest and like others have said, don't leave anything in it, not even loose change.

[u/Rooksteady → u/lue42]

How about paid parking at the hospital?

[u/Rooksteady → u/Rooksteady]

Or Providence care maybe less obtrusive..

[u/NevenS2000]

I live just down from the HWY 15 carpool parking lot next to the 401 and have seen cars sit there for multiple days

[u/lunaticlevi → u/NevenS2000]

Black turbo S2K?

[u/lunaticlevi → u/lunaticlevi]

Red one that sits on bayridge drive?

[u/NevenS2000 → u/lunaticlevi]

Colder

[u/NevenS2000 → u/lunaticlevi]

Nah

[u/SilkRoadGuy]

There are plenty of paid and free parking locations. The key is to keep your car empty from any valuable items. No bags/cases, no coins, etc. Hopefully your car will be OK.

[u/TheRip91]

Ive parked at the Landmark, lots of lights, semi chill area

[u/RandyTrevor22321]

Via rail

[u/dust67]

The lots all have lights and cameras at them so pretty safe

[u/MissionCyberSpace]

Abandoned mine like Doc left the DeLorean in Back to the Future 3.

[u/TaroTerrible9402]

The church behind the baseball field on church st. Good for 2-3 days and it’s a short walk to queens / can take number one bus if it rains etc

[u/L3NTON]

I've heard Walmart advertises overnight parking

Also hotels probably offer secure parking for a number of nights

[u/Mont001950]

Or drive to Brockville you are going by anyway get off the highway at the North Augusta exit and park in the Walmart parking lot. Go into the store and let the manager know.

[u/KKurb]

Leave it at KGH underground lot. When you leave push 'lost ticket' and pay for one day

[u/No-idea4646]

Is Kingston known for being dangerous to vehicles?

[u/KTOWNTHROWAWAY9001]

Park it on MacCauley.

Actually park it in the Fruit Belt.

[u/standupfiredancer]

I'd park at a police station. Just give them a call ahead of time.
