Parking pay stations accept CREDIT CARDS ONLY. Park your car and pay at any pay station indicated by the Park Tahoe sign; push the green start button and follow the instructions on the screen. (If you do not have a credit card, prepaid credit cards are available for purchase at local grocery stores.)
Enter license plate number when prompted on the screen (no state required).  Plan to take a photo of your license plate number with your cell phone to remember it when at the pay station.
If you have no license plate, enter the last four digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN).
If you have a license plate with stacked letters or special symbols, enter only the full-size numbers and letters. Special symbols and spaces should not be entered.
If a meter is not working, use any other pay station in the lots for payment. This is a license based system, there are no stall numbers and no receipt is required on your windshield.
