Please Follow These Rules When Visiting Our Parking Facilities

• Vehicle Height - Maximum height of vehicles allowed into the garage is 8'2". Vehicles exceeding this height or require more than one parking space are required to park in the "Oversized Vehicle Lot".

• The Channelside Parking Garage is open 24 hours a day. Cruise Parking is available while the ship is docked.

• Visitors must take a ChipCoin and pay at the Automated Payment Machines located on the first floor by the elevators. There is no free parking at anytime.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

Tampa Port Authority chose to utilize the most advanced technology available. This new technology will benefit every customer with faster exit times and modern equipment. The environment also benefits by using this technology as the ChipCoins are reusable, unlike conventional parking tickets that eventually end up in land fills. From the user’s perspective there is no difference between the ChipCoin and a conventional parking ticket other than the appearance and material.

All of the data printed on a paper ticket, such as when, where how you entered/exited the parking facility, and method of payment, will be encoded on the ChipCoin.

Retail Parking Rates
Visitor rates are $1.00 per ½ hour or any fraction thereof, with a $15.00 maximum daily charge. Rates are subject to change at any time; please refer to the current rates posted at the entrance of the garage. Event parking rates are $10.00 paid prior to returning to your vehicle.

Cruise Parking Rates
Cruise Parking Rates are $15.00 per day, paid in advance. Cruise Parking Rates are NOT subject to discounts.

Monthly Parking Rates
Monthly contract parking is available based on the Tenant Lease allocations. If you desire monthly parking please contact the parking garage office. To report any card problems (lost, damaged, not working etc.) please call the parking garage office during business hours, 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM, (813) 905-5072. Access Cards will automatically turn off should payment not be received prior to the 5th of every month. There is a $10.00 card replacement fee for lost cards and for reactivating cards that were deactivated for non-payment.

Discounted Parking
Retail visitors may visit any of the participating Channelside Bay Plaza businesses for discounted parking. Visitors will be required to make purchases and present the ChipCoin to the business in order to receive the discounted parking rate.

The garage operator cannot give discounted parking rates.
