Parking is fully automated and very easy. Simply drive up to the Ticket Dispenser and Card Reader located at the entrance gate, and press the button. A ticket with the time of entry will be printed. Once the ticket is taken, the gate arm will raise. Please remember to take your ticket with you. Do not fold or bend the ticket.

Another option when entering the entrance lane is to insert your credit card into the slot the same way you would at your local ATM. No ticket is issued if you insert your credit card. The gate will open, allowing you to proceed and park.

Once you return, take your ticket to the pay-on-foot stations located in baggage claim. Simply insert your ticket into the pay-on-foot machine. You may pay the appropriate fee either with your credit card ( MasterCard, Visa, or Discover) or with cash. The cash denominations accepted are $1, $5, $10 and $20. Coins are not accepted. Once the fee is paid, the ticket will be validated and returned to you. Take your validated ticket to your car, drive to the exit station, put the ticket into the exit station, and you are on your way!

If the option to pay with credit card was used, insert the same credit card that was used to enter into the Exit Station Machine. The parking fee will be quickly determined and charged to your credit card, causing the gate to open for you to depart.
