Universal Orlando Resort Offers New Pre-Paid Parking Discount
Save a few dollars on your next visit by purchasing parking online before you arrive.
Universal Orlando Resort has quietly rolled out a new option for guests driving to the resort, allowing them to pre-pay for self-parking and save off the cost at the toll plaza.
What’s Happening:
- Universal Orlando now offers a pre-paid option for regular self-parking, saving guests $3.
- Pre-Paid Regular Self-Parking: $32 (tax included).
- At Parking Toll Plaza: $35 (tax included).
- This new option can be found on the Universal Orlando website under the "Extras & Events" tab when purchasing tickets.
- Purchases can be made online by 11:59 p.m. the night before arrival, or same-day at the Destination Universal desks at Universal Orlando Resort hotels.
- Guests will receive a QR code to scan at the Toll Plaza.
- The Main Parking Garage serves Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, and Universal CityWalk.
- The pre-paid parking discount is also valid at the separate Universal Epic Universe parking lot.
Know Before You Park
- Universal typically offers several parking tiers at the toll plaza. While Regular is the most common, guests can also often choose Prime Parking, which offers a spot on a lower level closer to the escalators and moving walkways. There is also Valet Parking available. Prices for these options are higher and can fluctuate.
- The two main massive parking garages are divided into sections named after Universal characters to help you remember where you parked (e.g., Spider-Man, Cat in the Hat, Jurassic Park). Be sure to take a photo of your section and row number!
- Historically, Universal has often offered free self-parking for all guests after 6:00 p.m. on most nights (unless there is a special event), or about 2 hours prior to park closing. This is subject to change so always check the official Universal Orlando Resort website for the most current policies before your visit.
