## Parking on the University of Maryland Campus

University of Maryland Transportation Services recommends a parking permit for anyone who parks on campus regularly, because a permit helps guarantee a space (transportation.umd.edu). Many campus lots are unrestricted, and the university identifies [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) as an option on its parking page (transportation.umd.edu).

For event parking, ACE Parking provides online reservation information for University of Maryland events and directs drivers from I-495 via exit 25B onto US-1 Baltimore Avenue South before turning toward the campus area (umd.aceparking.com). Transportation Services lists its customer service number as 301-314-3687 and its office location as 202 College Park, MD 20742, with office hours Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. (transportation.umd.edu).

## Off-Campus Parking Around College Park

Off Campus Parking lists daily parking at $10.50 a day in College Park, offering a straightforward alternative when a campus lot is not convenient (offcampusparking.com). The same operator lists [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) at $65 a month for Monday through Friday only, which is aimed more at regular weekday commuters than occasional visitors (offcampusparking.com).

A semester option is also listed at $250 per semester for Monday through Friday only (offcampusparking.com). These off-campus choices are separate from the university lots and can suit drivers who need a weekday base near the campus rather than a permit tied to university parking operations.
