Where University of Pennsylvania Is — And How We Reach You
University of Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia (University City), PA.
Penn's campus fills much of University City between Market Street and the Schuylkill, and almost none of its parking is casual surface parking — it is garages, permit lots and metered curb space on Walnut, Spruce and the numbered cross streets. Move-in weekends, commencement and game days at Franklin Field all pack the neighborhood, and that is when we see the most lockouts. Penn's garages are height-restricted like most urban decks, so we come prepared to work in one. University City is a standard-tier service area for us.

What to tell us about campus parking
When calling, please have as much of the following information as possible:
- University or college name
- Lot or garage name and level
- Nearest campus building or gate
- Whether the lot requires a permit, gate code or attendant
- Vehicle year, make, model and color
- Service you need
Tell us the garage name and level, or if you are on the street, the block and nearest corner. Campus garages are access-controlled; confirm that an outside roadside provider can be admitted before we dispatch.
Please tell us about clearance-height restrictions, gated entrances or permit requirements before dispatch. Some parking facilities do not admit outside service vehicles, and it is faster to confirm access before we roll.
