Procedures for checking in and out of lots vary, so please see your Reservation Receipt for information related to the specific lot you booked.

The parking total displayed at checkout will be locked and will not increase once you book. The total is based on the dates and times you entered. There are two basic ways lot operators set up their daily rates, “Daily” and “24hr”.
Daily: Some parking lots calculate their rate by calendar day, which means that each individual calendar date is “a day.” The daily rate resets at midnight regardless of the time you check in.
24hr: Some lots calculate their rate in 24-hour increments from the time your car enters the lot. Some lots have a grace period (meaning you can check out an hour or 2 later with no extra fees) while others do not have a grace period.
Examples:
$5 day - Daily: Check in at 3PM on 1/1/2017 and check out at 3PM on 1/2/2017 you will be charged $10 for 2 days because the car was parked in the lot spanning 2 calendar days.
$5 day - 24Hr: Check in at 3PM on 1/1/2017 and check out at 3PM on 1/2/2017 you will be charged $5 for 1 day because the car parked in the lot for 24 hours from check-in (just one 24hr day period, from check-in)
$5 day - 24Hr with a 2hr grace period: Check in at 3PM on 1/1/2017 and check out at 5PM on 1/2/2017 you will be charged $5 for 1 day because the car parked in the lot for 24 hours from check-in (just one 24hr day period from check-in) and the lot has a 2hr grace period so even though you were parked for 26hrs you are still only charged for one 24hr period. But if you return after the 2hr grace period you will be charged for another day as per the lot rules and rates.
Please Note: Any applicable taxes and fees will be included in the total - you can view it in the itemized breakdown.
Being that “Daily” and “24hr” varies from parking lot to parking lot just as the rates do, it is important that you review the information on the lot page and the check-out page for the exact costs related to the specific lot you are booking at.
