*** CASH ONLY *** This is the parking lot located right behind Jack in the Box. Convenient location (the San Ysidro Trolley Station is just a block away & about 5~10 minutes away from the U.S.-Mexico border turnstiles), but expect a long wait just to get into the parking lot (my car was in standstill for 20~30 minutes). Hard to get in, easy to get out. Parking rates: 0 ~ 8 hours: $7 8 ~ 16 hours: $14 16 ~ 24 hours: $21 Lost ticket: $21 Van, truck, and RV: $10 for 0 ~ 8 hours, $30 daily If you are one minute over the 8-hour period (say 8 hours and 1 minute), then you will pay the rate at the next tier (basically extra $7). On a positive note, it is a fairly safe and secure lot. Alternative parking option: Buy a $5 day pass (with $2 fee for a Compass Card) and take the San Diego trolley to the San Ysidro Trolley Station.

Sometimes the line backs up into the street

I was heading south with some friends, and decided to give this place a shot. Normally, I drive down, but there was a big group of us, so we ended up deciding to walk across. And I didn't want to spend too much on parking on this side. This appears to be the cheapest place to park at the border. You get EXACTLY 8 hours or less for $7.00. One minute late, and it cost you an additional $7.00. Absolutely no grace period on this. So in reality, it costs most people $14 bucks to spend a day south of the border. Lose your ticket, and it's $21 bucks per day. The lot isn't anything special; your car bakes in the sun, and I don't believe anybody walks around to check on things. This isn't, by any means a glamour business, but there are some things they could change to make it better. Like increasing the number of parking slots (seems to be a lot of wasted space) and using the extra money to hire a security guard. The area where you enter the lot is chaotic - it would be simple enough to move it deeper into the property. That would also take some more traffic off of the public road.

Apparently, this is the "Behind the Jack in the Box" parking lot where I stashed my wheels before walking into Mexico. It was a flat $7 for 8 hours. Cash only. Pay in the way in, but if you are one second over the allotted time, you pay another $7. Not really a biggie. From there we walked directly into Mexico on the new course which begins about a block away. Just follow the signs. It is on the side opposite the larger pedestrian covered elevated pathway. Taxis available after customs to take you to El Centro for $5. Seems the best way to get in and out with least hassle.

They are not kind humans. They only take cash, which is annoying. If you go one minute over, they will charge you double.

Do not park in this parking structure…read more I parked here on 5/20/2026 from around 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM while taking my dog to the vet in Tijuana. Around 12:09 PM, I was back in my car sending a few emails when I noticed something very suspicious. An older Hispanic/Mexican man, probably in his late 50s with a large belly, pulled up in an older 2000s Ford F-150 it looked like a two tone of red pickup truck with a canopy. It parked in front of a very nice white lifted Jeep. The Jeep park backwards with bumper facing the driving lane. I watched him walk around the Jeep, checking the bumper area and the front tire. He then opened the back of his truck, grabbed a small black device that looked similar to a phone-sized electronic device, and placed something underneath the Jeep near the driver-side front tire/bumper area. After placing it, he no longer had the device in his hand. From what I observed, it looked like he may have attached some kind of tracking device or GPS tracker to the Jeep. What made this even more suspicious is that he did not appear to be parking there to walk into Tijuana like most people do. He seemed to be specifically scouting the parking structure and targeting that vehicle. I considered reporting it to the security guard sitting in the booth near the entrance, but I was alone with my sick small dog, I'm a female, and honestly I felt unsafe speaking up at the time. The parking structure is fenced in with limited exits, and I did not want to risk being caged in the parking lot or block inside the lot by the security guy sitting in the booth and the old man in the truck if they were working together. It was the only white lifted Jeep park inside the parking lot that date and time. If the owner of that white Jeep later experienced theft or suspicious activity after 5/20/2026 leaving LAZ parking in San Ysidro this incident may be related. Please be careful parking here and stay aware of your surroundings. Please check your car for tracking devices before leaving this parking lot.

Parking at the US border before walking to Tijuana, Mexico…read more.. When we walked across the USA-Mexico border in June 2023, we paid $18 - at a different parking lot. This time, we used LAZ Parking because it was a bit closer, and there were open spaces. November doesn't seem to be as crowded as June. However, we were charged $25. There was no one at the entrance. A credit card swipe opened the gate. To exit, the same credit card was swiped, and we left... into the traffic. LOL... Just be careful if you park here. The lighting isn't the best, and the ground isn't paved...

Great Experience! Safe Parking and Reliable Shuttle Service…read more I was a little skeptical about leaving my car here because of some of the bad reviews. However, my uncle mentioned that he had used their services before, so I decided to give them a try. The parking lot is in a very isolated area, but it looks well-maintained and supervised. We left our Honda here for five days while traveling to Tijuana through CBX and paid only $78. Overall, we had a great experience! Our car was left in good hands and was exactly how we left it when we returned, with no damage. Shuttle service: * Pickup: Smooth and easy, with no long wait. * Drop-off: Fast and convenient. * Driver: Professional enough, and we had no issues with him, unlike some of the experiences mentioned in other reviews. The only downside is that they are not affiliated with CBX, so they cannot drop you off directly at the check-in area. You have to walk approximately half a mile from the CBX entrance to check-in. It's not a terrible walk, but if you have a lot of luggage, I recommend using one of the CBX luggage carts. Despite my initial concerns from reading the negative reviews, everything went smoothly. The service was reliable, the price was reasonable, and most importantly, our car was safe and unharmed! I would definitely use their parking service again and recommend giving them a chance!

Great drop-off, but extremely rude pickup service ​ The…read moredrop-off attendants were really nice, but the pickup experience completely ruined it. I called two different numbers for pickup, and the people on the line were incredibly rude--especially frustrating after traveling all day with multiple heavy suitcases in tow. ​When I finally got picked up, they asked what time I had called because 'they were supposed to pick me up,' suddenly trying to be nice after the fact. The damage was already done. Saving a few dollars isn't worth dealing with such unprofessionalism. They need to hire employees who actually want to do their job and possess basic customer service skills. This was my first and last time using this service.
