Because Toronto is a large metropolitan city that is quite popular with visitors, it can often be the case that parking can be difficult to come by when driving in the city. One way to speed up the process of parking in Toronto is to purchase a temporary parking permit from the city. The city allows drivers to purchase permits for up to one week of time and when you have a permit, you can park on city streets without having to worry about feeding a meter while you are enjoying your time in Toronto.
