Parking and Security

• Why do you charge a vehicle registration fee? In order to keep track of all persons and vehicles on the resort property a vehicle registration fee is charged to all guests who elect to make use of the parking premises.

• Why is it a separate fee? Why isn't it just included in the rate? We charge separately for the fee from the cost of a room because we are located in a city with an airport and we do have a number of guests who do not utilize our parking deck, or in some cases have vehicles and decide to park elsewhere for a variety of reasons.  

• Do you charge for handicapped parking? There is no fee for onsite parking if the guest has a handicapped plate or hang tag.

When are parking meters in effect?

Meters are in effect from March 1st through October 31st and are enforced from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., seven days a week.  (A few spaces on 14th Avenue North, from Withers Drive to Ocean Boulevard, and on Withers Drive, between 12th and 15th Avenues North and 20th and 22nd Avenues North, are enforced from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.)  Please check the meter, pay station, or parking signage for more information.

Do meters offer all-day parking?

Many meters offer all-day parking, but high traffic areas allow for short-term parking.  A green 24-hour sticker on the street side of the meter indicates that it’s available for all-day parking.  Red stickers, as shown, indicate short-term parking up to three hours maximum.  Hourly rates vary depending on the location.  All-day meters clearly state that you can rent the meter for the whole day for a fixed rate, which compares favorably with private parking concessions.   

Can handicapped or veteran drivers park for free?

In South Carolina, any vehicle displaying a valid handicapped, Purple Heart, Disabled American Veterans or Medal of Honor license tag, or a valid and official handicapped hangtag, may park for free at any public-operated parking meter.  If your vehicle displays one of these, then you do not have to pay a municipal parking meter anywhere in South Carolina. 

Can you buy a parking pass?

Seven Day Visitor Parking Passes are available for any metered parking (not to be used in decal only restricted parking.) Passes are available from Reef Parking, located in the Pavilion Parking Garage (843-626-7275). The cost is $50.00.
