Facility Overview
Parking Company of America (PCA), located at 300 N Broadway, puts you in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). This facility serves as a primary parking hub for the civic district. The site layout primarily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and crossover SUVs. Due to the urban nature of the lot, oversized vehicles like long-bed trucks or high-roof passenger vans may find maneuvering in tighter aisles challenging, and drivers should always observe posted clearance signs if entering any covered or multi-level sections.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early if you are heading to a high-profile event at City Hall or a festival in the district. Always keep your digital parking receipt handy or ensure your mobile payment app is updated before arrival. Be mindful of one-way street patterns in downtown LA that may affect your exit route back toward the freeway. Finally, always lock your vehicle and store valuables out of sight to maximize vehicle security.
