Can I deduct parking fees without deducting any other vehicle costs, such as deducting them as Business Travel expenses?

I'm self employed and I travel to my students for appointments. I only want to deduct parking I pay for when I occasionally use my car. I use usually use public transportation, and don't use my car often enough to go to the effort of deducting vehicle expenses—I don't track mileage or anything.

Yes.  You can take the parking as a travel expense.
