Why the total changes

Metered and non-metered curb space

Boston can charge more when the reserved area includes parking meters. Select the correct permit type in the calculator. The final application also checks the address before payment authorization.

Number of spaces

A larger truck can need more curb space and more signs. The calculator accepts one to four curb spaces and applies the same extra-space logic as checkout.

Number of days

Some moves need more than one permit day. Enter the real start and end dates so the estimate includes supported multi-day charges.

Application timing

Apply at least 3 days before your move. The calculator checks the earliest standard-service date. It does not promise city approval by a specific date.

What the service fee includes

• Review of your permit details before filing
• Boston permit coordination
• No Parking sign posting according to city requirements
• Photo proof after signs are posted
• Sign removal after the permit period

We review your request, file it with Boston, and email you when the city issues the permit. City review time can vary. Your card is authorized at checkout and charged only after the permit is approved.
