Visitor Parking

General Information

Welcome to The University of South Florida!

Visitors parking at the USF Tampa campus can receive complimentary daily parking in Park-n-Ride Lots 18 and 43 up to 3 times per semester. Visitors also have the option to purchase either daily or hourly parking. The options for short term parking are timed spaces (under 15 minutes), parking meters (under 2 hours), or Pay-by-Space 1 or 2 hours (with a maximum of 4 hours in designated spaces at Collins Blvd Garage). Visitors who require more than hourly parking must display a parking permit. Visitors can purchase daily parking from one of the Parking Services offices, or from permit pay stations located throughout the campus. The Parking Services office and the permit pay stations only accept Visa and MasterCard payments. It is important that you park in “D” daily/visitor lots only; Click here to download the current visitor map.
