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 $5.50 from a Ticket Vending Machine.
