Tips for Parking at the Border

  1. Arrive early on weekends. Border parking lots near San Ysidro can fill up on busy weekends and holidays, especially during summer months. Arriving in the morning gives you the best selection.
  2. Bring your passport. Youโ€™ll need a valid passport, passport card, or WHTI-compliant ID to cross the border on foot and to re-enter the United States.
  3. Exchange currency before you cross. Our San Ysidro and Tecate parking locations both offer commission-free currency exchange so you can get pesos before walking into Mexico.
  4. Keep valuables out of sight. While our lots are secured with cameras and staff, we recommend not leaving visible valuables in your vehicle.
  5. Note which crossing youโ€™ll use to return. San Ysidro has two pedestrian crossings (PedWest and PedEast). Our parking at 4575 Camino de la Plaza is closest to PedWest.
