Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless parking experience, keep your mobile device handy upon arrival; AirGarage signs positioned throughout the lot display simple payment instructions via QR code or SMS text message. Enter your license plate number accurately when starting your session to avoid enforcement citations. While open-air headroom accommodates larger vehicles, ensure high-profile trucks do not overhang adjacent stalls or pedestrian footpaths.
