Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend pre-booking your spot through the LAZ Parking digital portal or associated mobile apps, especially during event nights at the Capital One Arena. Pre-booking often secures a lower rate than drive-up \"event pricing,\" which can surge during peak hours. Arrive at least 45 minutes prior to any major event start time to avoid congestion. Always double-check your GPS routing, as one-way streets are prevalent in this historic section of Washington, D.C.
