You can! On the right side of your reservation confirmation email below the QR code there are three buttons for Apple Wallet, Google Pay, and PDF downloads.

If you’re having trouble, just hit the Help button on top left of the machine and our team can help you exit with your reservation number.

Reservations guarantee priority entry to your chosen parking lot, even when it is full for non-reservation customers. There will always be enough spaces saved for reservation holders.

We do not provide partial refunds for early exits.

Unfortunately, as we work to make scanning easier for customers in tall vehicles, we recommend entering and exiting in the far-right lanes, as these are usually wider, and pulling to the far side of the lane so that there is space to step out of the vehicle to scan your reservation code.

You can park in any of our lots for up to 30 days. We don’t offer parking stays beyond that. We like to keep a tight watch on our lots, so any vehicles left for more than 30 days are towed and impounded.

We prefer to keep the EV stalls open for electric vehicles that need to recharge.

It depends on the type. We provide Level 2 cords in Premier, Daily, and Economy Lots and one legacy Small Paddle Inductive cord in the Economy Lot only. If you need Level 1 charging, it’s available in the Premier Lot, but please bring your own cord.

Terminal 1 is closer to the Daily, Hourly, and Premier parking lot entrances and Terminal 2 is on the far side of the elevated BART station after you enter. Signage indicates the airlines flying out of each terminal when you get closer to the terminal entrances. All gates are accessible from the TSA checkpoints in both terminals, which are connected by a walkway. Feel free to enter at either terminal and find your gate on the other side of security.

Every 20 minutes from 5:00 AM – 2:00 AM. There’s a walking route to the terminals outside of those times.

There are no shuttles in the Daily parking lot.

Why, yes, we do. Park & Call is where you can wait for free in your vehicle for up to 30 minutes. If you need to wait longer, we offer our Hourly Lot.

ADA spaces in all our lots are located along protected walkways. Regular rates apply. Look for the ADA symbol and signage.

You can park in any of our lots for up to 30 days. We don’t offer parking stays beyond that. We like to keep a tight watch on our lots, so any vehicles left for more than 30 days are towed and impounded.

Yes, you can. If you are parking a larger vehicle, such as an RV or motorhome, please be aware that the parking rate is based on the number of spaces your vehicle occupies. Please also note that the maximum stay duration for parking is 30 days in all parking lots at OAK.

We got you. Call us anytime at 510-563-3200, or use one of the call boxes in the lots. We’ve got a jump starter for your dead battery and a golf cart to assist us in locating your car.

We don’t have a tow truck on location, and for liability and safety reasons, we cannot break into your vehicle. However, we’ll get your tow truck driver or lockout technician in and out of the parking lot with ease. Call us at 510-563-3200, or use one of the call boxes in the lots. Just a thought: Try calling your insurance company to see if your policy has coverage for towing or lockouts.

Here’s what we do: Regular patrols by airport staff, 24/7 video surveillance, a sheriff on-airport, and fully fenced-in lots.
We need you to: Lock your vehicle, remove all valuable items, and hide anything else before heading to the Terminals.

There are a few ways: pull up to the kiosk at the exit and talk to one of our friendly parking staff OR use the handy “Credit Card In and Out” process where you insert a credit card when you enter (you won’t get a ticket) and then use the same credit card when you leave. That’s it. Swipe, swipe, and off you go! Oh, but “Credit Card In and Out” CAN NOT be used with parking coupons, vouchers, or promotions.

Cash, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, NFC Payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), and even Diners Club.

Nope. The price you see is the price you pay. We don’t charge additional fees or extra taxes.

All pricing already includes the 18.5% City of Oakland Parking Tax.
