Q: How do I park and pay?
A:
Daily and Overnight parking with NexPass app: Do nothing in advance. Enter the garage and drive to the entrance gate. The LPR camera will read your rear plate and the gate will raise. Proceed and park on any level. When ready to exit with your vehicle, drive to the exit gate closest to customer service at the front of the garage, your rear plate will be read again and the credit card reader will display the parking fee due, tap your credit card on the reader and the gate will raise to exit.

If the customer has more than one vehicle listed on the app and has a permit, and both vehicles are parking at the same time, the vehicle that exits first will be applied to the permit, the other vehicle will automatically be charged on the credit card on the app using the daily posted rates.
