Evening Parking

As of Jan. 2, 2008, motorists will now find $2 flat-rate parking after 6 p.m., seven nights a week, at these facilities:

  • Third Street lot between The 88 and Repertory Theater

  • Fourth and St. John lot
  • Second and San Carlos Garage
  • San Fernando and Second lot
  • Fourth Street Garage
  • First and St. James lot

The $2 rate will help purchase the Greyhound Bus site property for future parking. The funds will also be used to make parking facilities as inviting and friendly as possible.  Parking downtown has always been convenient and plentiful.  In all, there are 24,000 parking spaces -- a great start for your stay in downtown San Jose.  

In addition, two-hour validations will be honored, with a few exceptions. Free parking is still offered in many of these lots on weekends and holidays from 6 a.m.-6 p.m.

For specific rate and validations information, please check the parking map and click on the garage or lot of interest.
