Parking
All-day parking (24-hour limit) is available for Caltrain customers at most Caltrain stations. Higher rates are charged at the San Jose Diridon Caltrain Station during SAP Center events. Caltrain Monthly and Daily parking permits aren't valid when the SAP Center is managing the lots. Caltrain customers already parked before the SAP Center rates go into effect aren't impacted by the higher rate. The SAP Center rates begin approximately two-and-a-half hours before SAP Center events; however, the higher prices can't start before 9 a.m. on weekdays.A Daily Parking Permit may be purchased for $5 from a Ticket Vending Machine (Note: Effective July 1, 2016, the Daily Parking Permit will cost $5.50). After parking, take note of your parking stall number and then follow these procedures:
1. Go to the Ticket Vending Machine.
2. Select Daily Parking.

Stations south of San Jose Diridon, as well as the Belmont station, offer free parking (Note: Effective July 1, Belmont station will no longer provide free parking).
Monthly parking permits cost $50 and are only sold in conjunction with a Monthly Pass, 8-ride Ticket or a Go Pass (Note: The Monthly Parking Permit will cost $55 effective with the July permits first sold June 21, 2016).
