<p>Does anyone know the price range for parking at UCI?!
I'm going to live on ACC apartments next fall, and I will be bringing car...I was wondering if it is free at ACC, or if they charge, how much it is?!</p>
<p>Never mind found it!! $97 a month?! WTH UCI?!
Is there anyway around it? (current UCI students help please)</p>
<p>I don’t go to UCI but my friend lived all over the campus for 4 years… and there isn’t a parking place within a good 5 miles without needed a permit of some kind. </p>
<p>Oh god!! at SMC we paid 85 for each SEMESTER!!!
it is highway robbery.</p>
<p>I used to pay 20$ a semester… tell me about it.
I used to go to visit my friend in Irvine all the time and we used to park my car in the residental area a few miles from campus and even some of those areas required residental permits! I got probably 4 tickets for parking over there lol. </p>
<p>Side note… I believe my friend just bought a year parking pass and didn’t do the monthly thing. I’ll ask her later.</p>
<p>My daughter goes to UCI and we easily spend over $1,000 per year on parking. It’s just ridiculous! The school charges for parking, the apartments charge for parking . . . there’s no way to avoid it other than by not bringing a car. D has a parking pass for her apartments but takes a shuttle to campus so as to avoid paying it there as well. </p>
<p>^So we will have to buy different parking passes for different areas?! Ludicrous.</p>
<p>Those ACC housings charge $900 a month and they can’t provide a free parking space?!
And no meal plan is included in housings’ costs neither! Well done UCI!</p>
<p>Yep, it’s almost $300/quarter. :(</p>
<p>I am a current UCI student (Also going to be graduating this year)</p>
<p>If you’re talking about campus parking:
The cheapest standard parking permit you can get is $188 for one quarter. I wouldn’t recommend trying to park and walking to class (especially from places like University Center and other shopping plaza’s) because they hired parking security that watches people, especially UCI students, who park and walk to campus. If you do get caught, expect a ticket on your car (and even possibly a tow). </p>
<p>They do have other options available where you can pay for a day, week, and even a month worth of permit.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about ACC parking:
ACC is a privately owned apartment, so UC Irvine doesn’t own it directly, but they have contract with each other. I don’t know much about ACC parking.</p>
<p>Any other questions, feel free to let me know.</p>
<p>@lawlking:
Aaah how I wish I was at your place…I just want the next 2-3 years go by quickly, congrats.</p>
<p>The $188 you are talking about, is it 24/7 on anywhere on campus?! I mostly just want to park my car somewhere close to where I dorm, I won’t be using it too much anyways…</p>
<p>May I ask what your major is? and if you were a transfer student, how long it took you to graduate?!
Where did you dorm? and if ACC apartments are any good in your opinion? I’ll be at Camino Del Sol, townhouse.
thanks</p>

<p>Time flies by FAST; so don’t worry, you’ll be in my position soon.
I am excited that President Obama will be graduating at the commencement, so that’s awesome!</p>
<p>Also, I am a transfer student and it took me two years to pass! My original plan was to go to UCSB, but the expensive living cost made me realized it’s not worth going into that much debt, so I just commuted from home and went to UCI.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, UC Irvine does not allow you to overnight park on non-residential parking lots, if you do so then they will ticket you. </p>
<p>On my leasing contract at Camino it says I can pay $285 a quarter for parking…which is fair comparing to other UCs.</p>
