We would wish you the best luck! Drive-up rates in each location are always higher than what we offer for our community. Plus, depends on the day and the time, let’s say there is a Baseball game in an hour, drive-up rates could be as crazy as 3-4X more than the Parking Nexus prices.

Most of the locations, Yes! For valet parking locations, you need to check with the garage directly as each location has its individual policies on vehicle access.

11. Do I have to arrive and depart at the exact start and end times of my reservation?

If you need to stay longer than the reservation time, a fee may apply. See question #12

14. Do I have to print my receipt?
Most of the locations in our network do not require printed reservations. For those that require a print-out, we make sure to list this in the description. If you do not bring the printed receipt at these locations will cause your reservation to be invalid. Please note that this is a security reason, so the attendants are asked to do it per facilities management policy.

Very simple! Those locations are simple surface lots where there is no parking attendant on duty. You can just park your Vehicle at any available spot. Please make sure not to leave anything visible in the Vehicle and do not block other vehicles. For some reason, you cannot park your Vehicle in the lot due to no spot availability, call our support line at 415-290-0301. It is also critical that you enter your license plate information accurately.
