What are the operating hours for the lots?

Most lots will open for drive-up business at the times below. However, there may be cases when the lots open for permit holders only and do not open for drive-up sales until later in the morning. Each lot is different and works to maintain a balance between the reserved spaces and extra inventory.

No, in-and-out privileges are not allowed. If you leave the lot, your space will become available for another drive-up customer to park in. Sorry.

Can I make a copy of my permit and give it to my friend?

No. The permits are lot-specific and can only be redeemed once. If a copy is found, the vehicle will be ticketed. If you’ve copied your permit and given it to a friend, the second permit scanned will be in violation, which may be your car. The permits are barcoded, and lot enforcement personnel will make the rounds scanning/redeeming them.

Handicap Parking?

ADA spaces are first-come, first-served. The San Diego Convention Center and Hilton Bay Front are the best choices for ADA parking.
