How to Purchase Visitor Parking

Our office will be closed on Jan. 18 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day; 24/7 parking enforcement continues; limited Marguerite and transit service

Visit our Parking Enforcement Continues on Martin Luther King Jr. Day article for details on parking enforcement and Marguerite and transit service.

Visitor and hourly parking permit payments have transitioned to a contactless process through the ParkMobile app. In the interest of safety, physical pay stations at visitor lots have been taken offline to avoid the touching of shared surfaces that cannot be adequately disinfected throughout the day.

MAIN CAMPUS VISITORS	Pay for parking through the ParkMobile app or mobile website. We recommend downloading the app before arriving.
STANFORD REDWOOD CITY VISITORS	Pay for parking through the ParkMobile app. We recommend downloading the app before arriving. Please refer to our visitor parking article for Stanford Redwood City to find out how it works.
GUESTS OF STANFORD DEPARTMENTS	Departments can set up a ParkMobile account to pay for visitor parking for their guests by logging in through the ParkMobile website. Please refer to How to Pay for Department Visitor Parking.

Payment information

Mobile payment: Use the ParkMobile app or mobile website to pay using a credit card. In addition to the hourly visitor parking fee, ParkMobile charges 35 cents for each transaction.
Please note, there are no physical pay stations or kiosks at visitor lots.
- Customers who do not own cell phones may consider the option to purchase visitor parking in advance through a computer using the ParkMobile website. Here are instructions for creating a ParkMobile account. Please note that purchasing visitor parking in advance does not guarantee a space, so there is a risk that you are unable to find parking in the zone when you arrive. The payment is non-refundable.
