    I guess you get a discount if you pay for more than one night. Paid for two nights at this TA, only cost $21, $10.50/night as opposed to $12/night normally

    I have paid as little as $9 and as much as $14
    only used the service once without the wife with me
    nice for her to be close to the potty
    or nicer for me not listening to her complain about not being close :biggrin_25520:

    I pulled into a T/A about 6:30 at night and saw about 20 or so spots open. I had no showers on my card so I grabbed 50 gallons. Trucks from everywhere pulled in and took every spot. SO I made a quick phone call and reserved a spot while I slowly rode around the parking lot. I stopped at the pump and the guy came out about 3 minutes later to open up a spot for me. I pulled right in :)

    Your coupon is for TAs that charge everyone to park unless you buy fuel or merchandise, like Ontario, CA. It's not for the reserved parking.
