The Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) offers a parking facility that is easily accessible from all major highways and is connected to the RICC, Omni Providence Hotel and Providence Place Mall. They offer a state-of-the-art security system and a professionally trained staff, which translates into the most secure place to park in the City of Providence.
The RICC has recently updated its parking payment to a kiosk-based system, which allows you to pay inside the convention center. Please note, credit cards are the only form of payment accepted.
