Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a stress-free parking experience, keep your vehicle’s license plate number handy when parking, as Premium Parking operates on a digital pay-by-plate system without the need to display physical dashboard paper tickets. During signature Old Town events—such as the Temecula Rod Run, Western Days, or weekend night rushes—the lot can fill quickly; arriving 20 to 30 minutes before your dinner reservation or curtain call is strongly advised. Drivers can also extend their parking duration remotely straight from their smartphones via the app, avoiding the hassle of walking back to the lot if their evening runs longer than expected.
