Before you start

You’ll need to create an online account to pay for and manage your parking card(s). One account can have multiple parking cards for different drivers.

If you are a business and need multiple parking spaces, contact us first to make sure we have enough spaces available.

Steps

Break the action into clear, numbered steps so it’s easy to follow. If there are different ways of completing a task (online, in person, by phone) break them into separate sections.

You might use a button or a link in this section to take them to a specific form.

1. Set up an account

Visit the online monthly parking system and select Find Monthly Parking to create your account.

Enter "San Rafael" into the search bar to find and select the parking garage you plan to use (A Street or C Street).

Enter your personal details, and select a start date for when you will start parking with your card. For the type of parking space, select Non-Reserved.

Review the charges and pay. If your parking start date is after the 15th day of the month, we’ll only charge a half-month fee for that month ($36.50). There is a $10 refundable deposit for each new parking card.
