One-day Visitor Permits

“Visitor” daily virtual parking permits

“Visitor” virtual parking permits (which allow parking in visitor and “E” Event spaces) are available for purchase at $17.75 each.

“Special Event” parking permits

Because the supply of parking spaces in central campus is limited, we also have a “Special Event” permit for $5.25 each, which is valid in the following parking locations:

  • Searsville Lot (L-22)
  • Varsity lot (L-97) near Stanford Stadium and Sunken Diamond
  • Hoover Pavilion Garage

Please contact P&TS at 723-9362 or eventparking@stanford.edu for advice when scheduling a large group event and/or to purchase a quantity of “Special Event” permits from our office.

Parking for Sporting Events

Stanford Event Hosts

  • Stanford event hosts should encourage visitors to download the Parkmobile app for faster and more convenient visitor parking payments.
  • Departments are welcome to purchase up to 20 "Visitor" permits per month (which allow parking in visitor spaces).
