Your Business Parking

We are pleased to welcome you as a valued customer of Colonial Parking, Inc.^® we offer you the special privileges of becoming a Monthly account holder in return for your agreement to adhere to a few simple guidelines. Please take a moment to become familiar with these guidelines. If you have questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at (202) 295-8080 or via email [email protected].

1. Monthly Parking Permit:

   1. A regular monthly parking permit guarantees access to the designated parking facility during regular operating hours, but does not guarantee a park-and-lock space. Please call our Customer Care Team for availability and rates for 24-hour access or a reserved park-and-lock space.
   2. On the FIRST OF THE MONTH during which you are parking, please detach and suspend current monthly permit from your rear view mirror so that the permit month and number are visible through the windshield. A permit displaying a month other than the current one is not valid. Failure to properly display your current permit may result in the assessment of a daily parking ticket, which is non-refundable.
   3. If you do not display a valid permit, or you have not paid for your current month, you may be issued and charged for a daily parking ticket. You may not exit without paying the daily ticket; and you may not deduct the daily ticket amount from your monthly payment or monthly account balance.
   4. If you do not receive your upcoming monthly permit by the 25TH OF THE MONTH, or should you misplace it, please call our Customer Care Team immediately. If your account is current, a duplicate permit will be prepared and mailed or made available for you to pick-up. The duplicate permit will void the original. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes of address or phone number. There may be a nominal fee charged for the generation of duplicate permits. Please note: a request to deliver your parking credential to the facility may take up to 48 hours before delivery.
   5. If you use more than one vehicle, please transfer your permit from one vehicle to the other, but always display it in the vehicle parked that day. Permit must be displayed whenever the vehicle is in our parking facility. Please note you may park only one vehicle in the garage on a single permit. If a permit is used to admit more than one vehicle at a time; that permit will automatically be deemed invalid and both cars will be towed at the owners risk and expense or assessed the posted daily parking rate.
   6. Customer may not use monthly parking space for the purpose of vehicle storage.

2. Keycard For Garage Access:

   1. If you are issued a keycard/transponder/access device for normal or 24-hour access:
      • Please keep all electronic access devices in your possession whenever you leave your vehicle; transponders may be detached and removed from the vehicle.
      • Please use your keycard/transponder/access device, in combination with your permit (where applicable), to enable the entry/exit of your vehicle only. Any unauthorized use may result in revocation of your parking privileges.
   2. Please report lost or malfunctioning access devices to our Customer Care Team immediately.
   3. If you do not have your garage access device at locations where the key card/transponder is mandatory, you will be required to take a daily ticket to enter the facility and to pay for it when you exit.
   4. There will be a non-refundable replacement fee for a lost keycard, access device or transponder.
   5. It is your responsibility to return any Colonial issued keycard/transponder/access device upon closure of your account to our corporate office at 1050 Thomas Jefferson Street, NW Suite #100, Washington, DC 20007. Failure to return the access device may result in additional card fees or the denial of device deposit refunds (where applicable).
      • Please note: key card and permit (where applicable) are required at all times.

3. Parking Guidelines:

   1. All vehicles parked in the facility must display a valid license plate and be legally registered. Unregistered vehicles may be towed and or ticketed at the owners’ expense.

   4. Please drive slowly (5 MPH or less) and safely, with your headlights on.
   5. Where required, garages are equipped with ATTENDANT CALL BUTTONS. Please use the call button to summon an attendant to move another customer’s vehicle or retrieve your key. Please do not approach or enter any vehicles in the facility.
