Worst case: the mall is really close and $20 up to 20 hours

True I always forget how close the mall and train station are!

Idk where you’re coming from but I almost always Uber (or walk, but it doesn’t sound like that’s applicable)

If you must drive, just go straight to the mall lot and walk across the street because the station lot fills up fast. I think the Amtrak lot is $15 a day flat, and the mall is like $2-25 depending on how long you’re there, but nothing is quite as expensive as missing your train.

Yeahh, no I don't think uber or walking would work for me, lol. Wish it did tho.

Mall parking does sound good

There is parking underneath Center Place, which is right across Park Row from the station. If the station garage is full there will be a sign at the entrance.
If you keep driving it will put you back onto Exchange St. Take your next left onto Stillman, and the entrance is on the left.

I actually prefer this garage and don’t normally check the station anymore.

I've been taking the train out of the Providence almost everyday for the past 6 months. I usually grab one of the trains before 7 but you shouldn't have any issues finding a spot at 7am. The times I did take a train around 7 there was plenty of parking. I actually took a 7:40am train today and the garage was only half full.

In the one instance I experienced a full lot, which was around 10am, I parked at a garage across the street on Finance Way which is much closer than the mall and actually cheaper than the train garage.

The train parking garage is a $18 flat rate. I think it's cheaper if you're only there for an hour but I'm assuming you'll be there all day.

Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you, this is very helpful! I'm glad to hear it's not super busy in the morning

Harris Ave is free, right behind the mall, and spots are available in the early am.

Station is $18/day. I usually am there around 6am and there are still lots of spots.
