Visitor Parking Rates

Prices effective Sept. 1, 2019

 

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. Please note that a $0.35 transaction fee is charged for each ParkMobile payment.

Parking pricing is key to an effective and efficient parking system and to Stanford’s commitment to reducing drive-alone commute trips. Read our article to learn more about visitor parking rates and how rates are set.
