How much does it cost to park at border crossing?

[ckiki]

I am down to 2 weeks till my band date, and I am just trying to get everything in order. I went to the borderparking webpage provided by occ, but it doesn't give the cost. Anyone know? Also for those that have parked their car there and had to meet the occ driver, how does that work? I already emailed the occ to let them know I am driving in, and I did ask them these questions as well, but I am assuming that everyone is off today due to the holidays. I plan on leaving my house at 5:30 am and it should take about 2 hrs to get there, so I wasn't sure if we are going to have to wait a certain amount of time to be picked up, and also where do we meet the driver.

It cost us 8 dollars a day - we were there on Dec 7th and left on Dec 9th so we paid 24 dollars.

Guess I should have finished reading before answering LOL. If you tell them what time to pick you up, they will be there at the entrance. The van is marked OCC. We were a little early, but walked up to the entrance and he was already there waiting, but if the traffic is bad, he could be a touch late.

i am from so cal also. i got banded almost six mths ago. so far i have lost about 40lbs. slower than i wanted, but it is working.

i have driven down three times so far--one for surgery and twice for fills. i parked at the airport the first time to meet the driver. the two fill appointments i drove to the border and crossed on foot then took a cab for $5.00 to the clinic. if you have the address written down, that's all you need. parking at the border runs between $5.00 and 10.00 per day.

there are plenty of lots off of the last exit. if you have any other questions please feel free to contact me

good luck and happy new year!
