Facility Overview
The Piedmont Virginia Parking Company facility, located at 104 14th St NW, sits in the heart of the vibrant Corner district in Charlottesville, Virginia. This parking area serves as a primary hub for visitors navigating the busy University of Virginia (UVA) area. The facility is primarily an open-air surface lot, which allows for convenient entry and exit without the constraints of low-clearance garage ceilings. It is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and standard-sized pickup trucks. Please note that while the lot accommodates typical commuter vehicles, it is not optimized for oversized commercial vans or long-bed trailers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before any scheduled university events, as this lot can reach capacity quickly. During high-demand periods, confirm if there is a flat-rate \'event price\' in effect before entering. Always display your parking receipt clearly on your dashboard if required by on-site signage, and use GPS coordinates 38.034484, -78.499079 to ensure your navigation app directs you to the correct entry point on 14th Street.
