## Tamien Station Car Park on Lick Avenue

Caltrain lists 275 parking spaces, giving rail passengers a substantial lot beside the station rather than requiring a search through surrounding residential streets.

Parking at the station is free, according to Caltrain’s Tamien station listing (caltrain.com). VTA breaks the total into 262 standard spaces, 21 airport spaces and 8 accessible spaces, including 2 van-accessible disabled spaces (vta.org). [Parking ticket](https://www.parksy.com/appeal-calculator) vending machines are available at the station (caltrain.com).

## Commuter Parking at Tamien

The station’s 275 spaces are free, making the official lot the most straightforward option for a regular commuter (caltrain.com). VTA records 262 standard spaces within the total, alongside the station’s airport and accessible allocations (vta.org).

Caltrain also offers a daily parking permit for $5.50 (caltrain.com). The permit is a separate paid option from the station listing’s [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me), so commuters should distinguish between the lot’s stated parking arrangement and the daily permit program before leaving a vehicle for the day.

## Parksy Parking Near Tamien Station

For a paid daily option, Parksy lists valet parking at the San Jose Marriott, 1.2 mi from the station, at $31.07 a day. It suits drivers who want a managed hotel facility rather than the station lot, although the distance makes it more practical for a longer onward journey than a quick platform-side stop.

A secure 24/7 garage in San Jose is listed 1.4 mi away for $100 a month. Both spaces are in San Jose, so they work as alternatives when a driver values a managed or continuous parking arrangement over leaving a car in the station facility.

## Virginia Station and Onward Connections

Virginia is the nearest other station, 0.6 mi from the station and a 12-minute walk.

Tamien serves Caltrain, while VTA identifies the location as a station with dedicated standard, airport and accessible parking allocations (vta.org). The station’s position on both sides of the freeway also provides a practical park-and-ride arrangement, with the east-side lot closer to Caltrain (transit.wiki).

Caltrain notes that there is no weekend service between Tamien and San Jose Diridon (caltrain.com). Weekend travelers should therefore treat the rail connection differently from a weekday commute and plan around the service pattern before choosing where to park.
