Great Experience! Safe Parking and Reliable Shuttle Service 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! read more

NOT WORTH SAVING A FEW DOLLARS! Save yourself the headache and book somewhere else. I rarely leave reviews like this, but the level of unprofessionalism, disorganization, and complete lack of customer service at this place deserves to be shared. Dropping off our vehicle was a smooth process, but getting picked up was an absolute NIGHTMARE. My husband called to arrange our pickup and specifically informed the employee that we were a family of FIVE and needed a van that could accommodate all of us and our luggage. We were already walking to their designated pickup location, which, by the way, is on the side of a busy main street. Instead of arranging our pickup, the employee rudely told my husband, "You need to call me when you're already there." Fine. We followed his instructions. Once we arrived, we called again and were told the driver would be there in five minutes. FIFTEEN minutes later, the van finally showed up -- COMPLETELY FULL, with only TWO seats available! I asked the driver how he expected five people with luggage to fit into a van with only two open seats. His response? He shrugged his shoulders and casually said he'd come back after dropping everyone else off. My husband reminded him that we had specifically told him over the phone that we were a party of five. We were also the ones who had called for pickup in the first place, so why would he arrive with a van that couldn't accommodate us? Instead of apologizing or taking accountability, the driver sarcastically responded, "Well, try and fit." Seriously?! How exactly are FIVE people with luggage supposed to squeeze into TWO seats? The driver's attitude was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. His behavior was concerning enough that I questioned whether he was even in the right condition to be driving customers around. He eventually left and returned approximately 10 minutes later. By this point, we had wasted even more time standing on the side of the street with our luggage. During the entire ride back, there was absolutely NO apology, acknowledgment, or attempt to make things right. But believe it or not, it gets WORSE. When we arrived at the office, I explained the entire situation to the employee working there. Rather than showing any concern or offering an apology, he simply pointed to a phone number and told me, "If you have a complaint, call this number above." So I called. AND GUESS WHOSE PHONE STARTED RINGING? HIS! You cannot make this stuff up. The same employee I was complaining to had just directed me to call a number that rang HIS OWN PHONE! As if that wasn't enough, he then COULDN'T EVEN FIND MY CAR KEYS! Their tickets were so mixed up and disorganized that I had to physically point out my own keys to him. At that point, I told him exactly how unorganized and unprofessional this entire operation was. The biggest issue wasn't even the wait. It was the complete lack of respect, accountability, and basic customer service from MULTIPLE employees. Not one person apologized. Not one person seemed concerned. Every interaction made an already frustrating situation worse. I understand that businesses get busy and mistakes happen. But there is absolutely no excuse for rude employees, sarcastic responses, poor communication, disorganization, and treating paying customers like they're an inconvenience. My advice? DO NOT let the cheaper price fool you. Whatever few dollars you think you're saving are NOT worth the frustration, wasted time, and terrible treatment. I would gladly pay more elsewhere for a business that is organized, professional, and actually values its customers. NEVER AGAIN. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. read more

Great drop-off, but extremely rude pickup service ​ The drop-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. read more

First timer using them a little skeptical about leaving my keys for my truck because they do stacked parking but the guy was very nice. They park it for you and you let them know when you're coming back and they'll have it upfront ready for you. The posting said $10 but I was charged $14 a day. I'm guessing for my truck not being in a car but overall it was fine. We'll use them again a lot cheaper than the CBX parking. read more

I stumbled onto Lion Parking when I was planning a day trip to Tijuana. I had decided to cross the border at Otay Mesa instead of San Ysidro (smart move) and needed a place to leave my car. The folks are friendly and they will take you to and pick you up from either the CBX bridge or Otay Mesa crossing as part of the parking fees. It's just a minivan but they addressed what I needed fo a fair price. The English skills may not be great with some employees but I did take Spanish in high school (LOL). And, when you call them to get picked up to return to the lot, they ask for your ticket number so they have your car pulled up ready to go (after you pay). I only needed parking for a day but it looks like they get many more longer term customers that fly out of Tijuana. read more

TERRIBLE customer service by one of the nighttime drivers. Dropping off my car was fine, the older man who was at the desk and checked in my car was kind and polite. Getting picked up was a bad experience. The driver did not get off the van to help me and my 62 yr old mother load our luggage - 1 checked luggage and 2 carry-ons. Upon arriving at the lot, same story, we unloaded our luggage ourselves. Good thing I lift weights and can lift heavy objects. I don't understand how a male driver can be rude and lack manners especially to females. ‼To the business owner: Do better and hire drivers who are polite, have manners, and offer good customer service otherwise you will lose business. read more

My husband and I parked our brand-new truck at Lion Parking for five days while we traveled. When we dropped it off, the truck had no damage at all. When we returned, we found a noticeable ding on the rear bumper. We reported it immediately and were told to call back on Monday so my husband could speak with a manager and they could review the security camera footage. My concern is, how can we be sure the review will be handled honestly? After researching surveillance systems, I know footage isn't always retained for very long, and I hope the cameras actually captured what happened. Our truck is still brand new, with the dealer stickers still on it, so this damage was very disappointing to discover after trusting them with our vehicle. I hope management takes responsibility if the footage shows the damage occurred while the truck was in their care. Until this is resolved, I would recommend that anyone considering parking here be aware of the risk and thoroughly inspect their vehicle before and after leaving it. read more

We arrived from BJX and called for the mini van to pick us up. We waited over an hour. Their website says they offer 24/7 service, so I expected a much faster pickup. Waiting that long after a flight is unacceptable and very unprofessional. I would not use this parking service again. read more

Safe - my car was perfectly fine there for 4 nights. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to leave there car while traveling.

Great location close to cbx. They offer shuttle service for your convenience. Prices are ok but seemed like the extra charge for having a Highlander is not necessary. read more

Spend a little more elsewhere to avoid these guys! Trust me! The drop off to the airport was fine but when I called them to pick me up after I landed was where the issue was. The office parking man was not helpful, and asked me to call the shuttle. Then shuttle told me to call back the office parking employee and to tell him he was really busy?!!! They had me playing messenger and told me they didn't know how long it would take to get picked up. I was so upset I ended up spending more money and got a taxi to get my vehicle. Once I got there a male employee gave me attitude when he pulled my car out. Terrible service! read more

My husband and I are very disappointed on their lack of communication and service. People, PLEASE do your research (which we didn't do). We used Lion's parking on September 9th. Upon arriving, one older man came out from the office and told us we had two options: 1. Using their shuttle to take us to CBX but couldn't take us all the way in to drop us off. We would need go walk half a mile away from the entrance of cbx. Or 2. To use our vehicle to take us all the way in to drop us off at the front. He also mentioned that if we do that the 2nd one, they would be able to pick us up with our vehicle once we came back from our trip. When we got back from our trip yesterday September 12th, we called the shuttle service and this rude younger man answered. We asked if they can pick us up with our vehicle so that way we don't have to use their shuttle and also walk half a mile at night. His response was, no he didn't have enough workers and that we would need to use their shuttle. They can only pick us up at the front of cbx only if we are "injured". So of course my husband told him on the phone that he is injured so that way they can pick us up using our vehicle. Please please please everyone, DO NOT USE THEIR PARKING SERVICE! They do not care about you at all. Find a different parking service. But please avoid them at all cost. They definitely need to work on their customer service and their communication with employees. read more

I have been to CBX, but the parking is expensive, complicated and a long walk through dusty parking lots. I saw LION parking and thought I would give it a try. The guys that work here are nice and helpful . They said I could take the shuttle, but the drop off is long walk. Not good if you're older and carrying luggage. I read online that they will actually drive you either in your car or theirs,right to the terminal. I asked them to do that and it was no problem. And of course I gave them a good tip because I appreciate it. Then when I get back home, I call them and they come and pick me up. Cheaper and easier than CBX and the people are good to work with. Really glad I found this place. read more

I was traveling to Mexico and needed a place to park my car. I am so glad I found Lion Parking. They are affordable, courteous and very nice people. We took the courtesy ride to the boarder. On our way back we called after crossing to get the courtesy ride back to the parking. Everything was fast and hassle free. I recommend Lion Parking for anyone who is looking for affordable parking and great service they are a 24/7 parking. You can have peace of mind knowing that Lion Parking will take care of your car. read more

Straight up scammers. I would not use them again. Their website says clearly it's $13 a night so when I asked why I was being charged $15, he said bc it cost $1 to use the card machine... then that would be $14 where is the extra dollar coming from. He refused to answer & charged me $15. Smh beware of this scamming company. read more

Super friendly staff, I was traveling by myself to Mexico for the first time and they were helpful and I did not feel unsafe in any way. I love that they have a shuttle to take you over to CBX, although they do have to drop you off a little bit outside the actual place (some rule with CBX) so you have to walk like maybe a quarter of a mile, but it's basically just through the CBX parking lot read more

Took my car for about 12 hours of parking when going to pick up the vehicle didn't noticed this as the hit was on the passenger side. I'm not sure what they did with the vehicle to get this type of hit. They also tried to clean up there scratches on the paint but there were some still left over. This vehicle is brand new!! PLEASE BE AWARE OF BRINING ANY VEHICLE HERE!!! DOUBLE CHECK THERE JOB WHICH YOU SHOULDN't OR JUST GO TO CBX! read more

Pricing has gone up to a point where it does not make sense to go thru their shuttle hassle. I've used them previously and found their shuttle an inconvenience but dealt with it because the pricing made sense. Today I was quoted $14 a day. That's only $3 less per day than the CBX's Economy Parking Lot. I had planned on leaving my car there for 9 days but the savings does not make sense. I'd rather park on the CBX lot and not worry about waiting on a shuttle 1/4 mile away after getting back. My 2 cents.... read more

Did my research on TikTok and Lion Parking was mentioned in the comments as being one of the best. This is my third time going to Mexico and first time driving to the border myself so I was definitely skeptical and confused on how this works when it came to looking at the reviews for these parking lot sites. I learned, if you're not going to T.J. airport, don't park at CBX, but just know Lion Parking does offer shuttle service there. I needed to go to the Otay border and Lion Parking offers complimentary shuttle service to and from Otay as well as San Ysidro borders. Never been to this part of California ever, but can tell you it's around the corner from an Amazon Warehouse in the middle of nowhere and seems a little sketch, but I'm happy to report it's not sketch. I arrived in this gravel lot next to a junkyard and slowly pulled in and was directed to park in a designated spot. A guy with a clipboard introduced himself, wrote down my car make and model, the time I arrived, said the shuttle would be there in 10 minutes, gave me a ticket and circled the phone number I needed to call for them to pick me up when I arrived at the border. The shuttle ride took about 10 minutes and we were dropped of at the cul-de-sac leading up to the border and we walked over to the Mexico side. The rate was $9 a day and I was supposed to be there for 24 hours, but the event I was at went a little longer than expected and the wait to walk across the border was 2 hours (got in line at 4:45 p.m. on a Saturday), so my car was there for about 30 hours. I was charged $18 total. I took one star off because they quoted us 15 minutes until they got to the 7-11 to pick us up and were a bit late and that area is sketch, BUT we made it back to the car before the sun went down, in one piece and my car was intact and waiting for me at the front of the lot when I got there. I would definitely use this lot again if I was going to Mexico for the weekend and recommend it to others. read more

Great option to CBX parking. Only drawback is that CBX curbside drop-off is not available. You have to walk from the entrance to the CBX area. The reduced cost is worth it if you are staying 3 days or more. read more

I've left my car here a handful of times. If was always returned back in perfect condition. Once my car battery died and they jumped it for me. They are very attentive and professional. The price is great too read more

Left my car here for a week and love that they are 24/7. You leave your keys with them, which is not ideal but i get that they have to move cars around. Came home after a delayed flight around 2am and there was a very nice gentleman inside who helped me and moved my car for me. I didnt use their shuttle so I dont know what that experience is like. $11/day, didnt need to make a reservation on the Thursday I arrived. They take your keys, give you a ticket, and the whole process was super smooth. You pay at the end and they take credit cards or cash. Overall, great experience. I would consider them again if I fly out of CBX again. read more

I usually park my car near the airport when I travel. This location was close to the airport. Access to the lot was easy with a bar code that was emailed to me. Catching the shuttle was simple as it picks you up right in front. I would park here again. read more

We used Lion parking for 8 days after traveling from the cbx to Cancun on vacation. These guys were awesome! They're only $11 per day versus the $15 plus per day at cbx. We drove up gave them our keys got a shuttle to the cbx. Just an FYI there is a little bit of a hike from where they drop you off to walk to the cbx. They do not drop you off at the door. It took us about 12 to 13 minutes to walk from where the shuttle dropped us off to the front door. Not a big deal. Just so you know in case you're not rolling your suitcases and carrying things. The guys checking me and we're awesome. The shuttle drivers were great. I had an issue with my credit card and that was handled immediately. I will use Lion parking lot again. Great service! read more

They have a huge lot and good service. The shuttle was quick on bringing us. No waiting. Very very near CBX.

Great place to park if you're using CBX. They valet park your car so you do have to leave your keys with them, but we didn't have any problems. They have a mini van shuttle which takes you to CBX, and they picked us up at CBX within 15 minutes of us returning. *The deduction for one star is because they advertise $8 per day, and we parked for 7 days which should have been $56, but they charged us $63 which doesn't add up.* read more

This location earns 5 stars no doubt! If you are looking for a reasonably priced parking lot close to CBX! 1. the price is reasonable (8$ for suv) 2. Location is excellent close to the border and CBX (a Max 10min drive) 3. Free shuttle to CBX This was my second time parking here for our annual vacation. Both times have been excellent. They greet and park your car in a timely manner. If you are traveling during the busier times (red eye flights) I would recommend to arrive extra early as that is when they are busy. You can't beat a free pick up and drop off. Definitely recommend. read more

They are super nice and have decent prices, thank you for keeping my car safe while I was away!

Prior to our flight to Mexico, I called to confirm that I could leave my car at Lion Parking. The person that I spoke to said that I could leave my car and that a shuttle would take my family to the airport. Upon returning, we could call the number on the back of the card we would be given. The person asked when we'd be leaving (the following morning) and even joked about the time frame, "so we will see you in about 8 hours?". I felt relieved that my family had secured a parking spot. Imagine my anxiety and frustration the next morning when we arrived. We allowed sufficient time to navigate the airport. However, my family and I were shooed away by an unhelpful attendant at Lion Parking. All he could say was "No parking. No parking." At no point were we warned or told that spots were limited. In fact, Lion Parking's website boasts that "our big lot means space is not a concern". It's a lie. We were fortunate enough to find a space at Siempre Parking. Thank goodness for them! read more

Had my car parked for 7 days but I was charged 8 because the attendant behind the desk that refused to give me his name failed at math!! He looked like a Colombian drug dealer with his perm that's about how I can describe him . He wouldn't reason with me at all ! So I paid him the extra $12 bucks, looks like he needed the money more than me. Not complaining about the long walk to get pick up just the overcharge! So be aware read more

Lion Parking is a great place to park your car when you go on vacation and you will be traveling thru the CBX to fly out of Tijuana BC airport. Affordable prices plus they take you in a van to the CBX as a courtesy. We have used their services many times. I highly recommend. They are open 24/7. Your vehicle is secure. The only downside about it is that when they pick you up from from your return flight, you have to walk several blocks. If you are traveling with children or seniors it might be an inconvenience. Or if its raining or bad weather you will have to walk out to Siempre Viva St. to the area that they specify you will be picked up. read more

Worst long term parking company ever!! After researching how we were going to park at the airport, we decided we would go with Lion Parking. Our flight was leaving so early from TJ, we didn't want to risk trying to get an Uber. Their website said 24/7, etc- and that you don't need reservations because they'll never run out of parking, etc- figured that would be a safe place to go with! When we arrived at the facility the morning of our flight, we couldn't find the entrance or a person to talk to so I called the phone number on the sign. Luckily someone answered- but the person on the other end said they weren't taking any cars?!! Not a very nice way to find out you don't have anywhere to park!! Why would you NOT share that information with your customers and put that on your website? Needless to say we weren't very happy and had to figure out parking at the last minute. Thank goodness for valet! I will NEVER use Lion parking again! read more

Great service always. Great guys here who shuttle you to TJ International or the border whichever you prefer. Grateful parking business.

Good service. They provided a shuttle to and from airport. Price is also reasonable. Staff is polite and helpful. Place is safe and clean.

I hate leaving bad reviews but... this was my first time using CBX and it took a lot of convincing to talk my husband into trying it to save money going to Puerto Vallarta. So I had every detail planned including parking. After we got to San Diego from Phoenix we stopped by the afternoon before our trip just to make sure we knew where Lion parking was and asked the guy working there if we could park our car at 4am.. SURE NO PROBLEM he said.. Famous last words!! We got there 4am and gate is locked!! Called their number went to voicemail 3 times! THANK GOD I always have a plan B so I called the next lot saved on my Yelp list and they were open. It was just a 5 minute drive to the other lot and they saved the day! :) I'll be post a positive review for the other lot shortly, Lion parking is probably ok as long as you only need to park 9-5 ugh! read more

Best customer service. Had my car there for like 7 days and it like 70 bucks. I recommend it a lot.

Great place to park your car. Fast, free shuttle to Otay Mesa border crossing, everyone working there was super nice. Very reasonable prices, I think it was $36.00 for four days? Make sure you plan to cross at Otay and not San Ysidro. Totally worth it though--made our trip to Valle de Guadalupe much easier, because we didn't have to worry about the border wait in the car on the way back. read more
