Some cities require parking permits or city authorization for our equipment to remain at your location for several hours or several days.  Those cities normally have parking problems on a day to day basis.  I have located several cities in the western half of the country that require some special considerations concerning parking a commercial vehicle and what those considerations involve.  If your city is not on this list, your best bet is to contact the local Police Department to make sure of parking restrictions in your area.

Costa Mesa, CA
In Costa Mesa, CA you must have driveway or private parking.  We can not leave the trailer parked on the street.

Hawthorne, CA
Permits may be required for street parking in Hawthorne, CA.

San Ramon, CA
In San Ramon, CA you must have driveway or private parking.  We can not leave the trailer parked on the street.

San Francisco, CA
Parking permits are needed when parking on the streets of San Francisco, CA.  If you are moving in a ReloCube, our terminal in Oakland will provide the permit for you but you will need to make sure there is a parking space available for each ReloCube.  If you are moving in a trailer, you will need to contact the San Francisco Police Department at 415-553-0123 well in advance of the move.  They will direct you to the appropriate station for the permit.

The permits are actually in the form of “No Parking” signs which are needed for each parking space that will be used for your move.  Our trailers will need approximately 3-4 spaces.  Each sign must be posted on fixed objects (trees, pole, etc.) 72 hours in advance of the move.

Walnut Creek, CA
Street parking for ReloCubes in Walnut Creek, CA is not allowed.  Street parking for trailers is acceptable in Walnut Creek, CA.

 

Palo Alto, CA, Fremont, CA, Cupertino, CA
Permits are required.

Santa Clarita, CA
Parking permits are required in Santa Clarita and its surrounding communities.  If a permit is not available, there will be a 2 hour time restriction to load or unload.

Denver, CO
Permits are required for street parking in Denver, CO for our trailers or ReloCubes.  These permits are available through the ABF terminal in Denver, CO.

Killeen, TX
Street parking is not allowed in Killeen, TX

Seattle, WA
Within the city of Seattle, you must have driveway or private parking.  If you don’t have driveway or private parking, you will need to obtain a parking permit for the ReloCube.  Unfortunately, permits are not available for the trailer.  If a parking permit is not available for your address, we will be able to bring our equipment to your address for 1 hour load/unload time.

According to the city of Rancho Santa Margarita website, it looks like trailers over 25’ long can park on the street for loading/unloading but only up to 72 hours. The site doesn’t offer information about equipment similar to the ReloCube. I recommend that you call the city offices at 949-635-1800 - they should be able to help you determine whether a permit is required in the area.

It doesn’t appear that the city of San Diego issues parking permits for loading/unloading. I spoke to our ABF service center in San Diego about the parking situation on Park Blvd. They were familiar with the area and advised that because Park Blvd. is so busy, we are unable to park a trailer or ReloCube on the street. They suggested that you try to find private parking (like a parking lot that’s close by) to park the trailer or ReloCube while you unload.

You will need to check with the city of each of your locations to find out if there are parking permits required. Many cities have municipal offices that deal with parking permits. Here are a few of the names they go by – Parking Clerk, Department of Tranportation, Parking Violation Bureau or City Clerk. In some cities you obtain them from the Police Department. You can always search online – *your city* parking permits – and this should help you find the correct office and what you need to do to obtain a permit.
