Best Posts in Thread: general q's on parking in city

I gave them 5 pesos, except when I had my wheelchair-bound husband and they helped put the wheelchair and him in the car....I gave them 20 pesos when they did that.

 

There is a height limit so for cars and "normal size" SUVs only. I have always managed to find a spot to park in there. They give you a ticket and you have 3 hours to shop and must spend a minimum of 200 pesos and get the ticket validated at the wine sales shop on the way out. I don't know what would happen if you were over the 3 hours and I do not know what would happen if you did not spend the minimum. I do know it is difficult to go shopping elsewhere and bring the items through the store and into the parkade and the guard will not let you walk into the parkade from the street (at least he did not allow my gf to come inside with packages bought elsewhere). So we solved that by me driving out of the parkade while she is waiting on the sidewalk, she jumps in with her shopping, and we drive away.

Note that Robinsons downtown also has parking at the back but the guard gave me a similar ticket when I parked there earlier this week so they may be cracking down the same as Lee Plaza does. The Robinson's parking lot has gotten very busy lately by those who knew that the "for customers only" rule was not being enforced. It seems it will be now.

As previously mentioned, I give 5 or 10 pesos when parking on the street where there is an attendant, but I do not pay at Lee or Robinsons as they require I spend money in their store so that should be enough.
