How to Save on Parking Costs with Commuter Benefits and SpotHero

When most people think of commuter benefits, they think public transit. However, if you are one of the millions of people who drive to work every day and pay to park (or if you employ them), we have something to help you out too.

With commuter benefits you can save on your daily, weekly or monthly parking expenses for work. If you are parking in a garage or a lot and paying for it out of your pocket, it makes sense to see if your company offers commuter benefits to you and your colleagues.

The savings are significant. Commuters can save up to 40 percent in costs by setting aside pre-tax money in your paycheck. For example, if you pay $200 per month to park, you could save up to $80 through your commuter benefit program. When you add it up, it’s almost $1,000 per year in savings. Employers also benefit because they can save up to 7.65 percent in payroll taxes.

Plus, it’s even easier to get significant savings on your parking costs when enrolled in a commuter benefits program because we have partnered with SpotHero.

Simply download the SpotHero app, and see for yourself how hassle-free parking can be. SpotHero helps you find and reserve a parking spot that you can pay for with your pre-tax dollars when your company offers commuter benefits through Edenred Commuter Benefits Solutions.
