Petro & Ontario Travel Center parking fee

the petro is the one i would go to. been to both a few times in the last couple months. casinnt buy fuel there so $20 to park but i usualy pay the breakfast buffet and couple small things out of the store to snack on and then your all good. the people at the gate never really checked my numbers that close last time i did the breakfast then hit popeyes chicken for dinner and had bought a couple rockstars out of the store they just wave you through.

and really if i had to pay $20 stright up with safe parking as the main part of the deal, no problems.

 

WHAT?!?!?! No plastic bottles or bottles of Old Spice and a wet rag?!?!?


That's absolutely BARBARIC!!!!!!

 

You can park free across the street from the Petro in the dirt lot/railroad right of way. Not sure for how much longer though. As soon as trash starts piling up I guess the railroad will be building a fence.

Company drivers can park virtually free. Save up your receipts to show the gate nazi, food drinks whatever. Or you could buy a gallon of oil or coolant to get that magic number. I usually buy oil and grease stuff like that I'm going to need anyway. Write if off on the taxes and get out the gate.

 

as of last night the TA in Ontario is 20.00 for all night stay.

 

One good thing is there is no "gate nazi" on the way in. You just get a time stamped parking ticket from the machine, the gate raises, and you are good to go. No charge for less than 2 hours.

 

so what your saying is a person could walk over and get a new ticket just before they leave?

 

A little east on 10, next to the Rush Pete dealer is a place that is less per day and if I remember correctly does a small discount for a week.

There is a dude there that collects money so major rif raf level is controlled.

Unless you have a company yard you will be paying for parking in SoCal.
