Kia Center Parking Guide (2026)

If you still call it Amway Center, you are not alone. The building is now Kia Center, and the real parking trick is not the closest garage. It is avoiding the Hughey and Church Street logjam once everyone heads into downtown at the same time.

Parking Options Compared

Option	Price & Location	Reality Check
ThreatLocker Garage	Main arena-adjacent option at 400 W South St.	Best for the shortest walk, but also the first place people jam up when they show up late.
520 W Pine Garage	Downtown backup about a short walk from the arena.	Often the cleaner move once the main garage lane is already loading up.
Downtown city garages	City baseline parking often runs around $2 per hour and roughly $15 daily before event adjustments.	Useful if you care more about an easier exit than a perfect front-door walk.
SunRail	Church Street Station sits within a short walk of the arena.	This is the real local alternative if downtown lanes are already stacked.

The Local Move

The local move is SunRail to Church Street when downtown is already tightening up. If you are coming from a corridor that makes rail easy, it is usually smarter than forcing one more garage decision after you are already in arena traffic.

Do Not Do This

Do not wait until you hit Hughey to decide where you are parking.
Do not assume the closest garage is automatically the best overall plan.
Do not count on rideshare to save a bad exit strategy after the event ends.

Exit Strategy

Kia Center garages can bog down right after the crowd empties out. If your goal is a cleaner trip home, it is often smarter to linger downtown for a few minutes instead of joining the first wave of cars trying to clear Church Street and Hughey all at once.

Book Parking

Reserve before entering downtown Orlando so you are not choosing between bad options in active event traffic.
