However, your car hire company may not allow any off-roading, so always double-check.

Parking can be tricky to find in St. Augustine, so if your accommodation offers parking, you'll want to make the most of it. However, you can park in city parking spaces from 17:00 to 08:00 for free, and parking is also free all-day on Sundays for on-street parking. There are two main car parks that have agreements with the city, Castillo de San Marcos and The Bass Lot. Bear in mind that they charge every day of the week.

If you need to park for the day, the Historic Downtown Parking Facility opposite the Visitor's Centre costs around $15 (roughly £11.50) for the day.
