Union Station's garage charges $25 for 10 to 24 hours. Two hotels 4 minutes away on foot, Phoenix Park Hotel and the Kimpton George Hotel, charge $68 for valet. The garage has no hotel-guest rate and says nothing about tax, and the Capitol Hill Hotel's parking page says the garage has no in-and-out. Stay past 24 hours and the price jumps: $39 at 25 hours, $44 at 26 hours and $52 for 26 to 48 hours. After that, by our count, each 24 hours adds $26. Lose the ticket and you pay the $26 the rate page calls its "Daily Max".

Phoenix Park's $68 is a day, with the tax already in it, and like the garage it has no in-and-out. The Kimpton George's $68 a night is plus tax, so its bill runs higher, but the car can come and go for 24 hours. The Hamilton Hotel, $69 a night for valet, sends oversize vehicles to Union Station, and so does Phoenix Park.

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf lists valet from $40 a night, the only parking it shows, and "from" means you may pay more. The highest listed price for a standard car is $90, at The Hay-Adams for overnight with in-and-out and at The Potomac Hotel, Autograph Collection by the day. Melrose Georgetown Hotel lists valet at $80 plus tax a night on its fact sheet, which passes $90 once DC's 18% is added.

DC taxes parking at 18%, according to the Office of Tax and Revenue. That is separate from the 15.95% on the room, covered in the hotel tax guide. Phoenix Park, the Capitol Hill Hotel, The Mayflower Hotel, Autograph Collection and the Hay-Adams say their parking price already includes the 18%. Hotel Madera names the rate: $55 a night plus the 18% DC parking tax, which comes to $64.90. Most other hotels print "plus tax" with no rate, or say nothing about tax at all.

The cheapest places to leave a car overnight

The lowest overnight price we read at any hotel is at The Hoya Hotel at Georgetown, a campus hotel 25 minutes on foot from M Street. Self-parking in the Leavey garage is $25 a day with unlimited in-and-out. The Southwest Quad visitor garage drops to $10 after 7 PM, Monday to Saturday, but its day passes expire at 12:01 AM on weekdays and 6 AM on weekends and holidays, so a pass runs out before the 11 AM checkout either way.

The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C. sells self-parking at $40 a day, against $68 a day for overnight valet. The Tabard Inn lists valet at $49.99 plus tax and a nearby garage at $26 plus tax. Hotel Madera says public garages nearby run $28 to $38 overnight plus tax, and doesn't name them.
