Newport Coast Parking Fee

I was looking at the 2025 Budget. A line item caught my attention because there was a 100% increase. Apparently a new source of revenue.

Parking overnight in the lot of each villa building has always been tight at Newport Coast Villas. There's a space for each villa, but not enough spaces if some guests require two or more cars for a single villa. But there's additional parking in an underground garage and at marked curbside parking spaces on some of the internal streets.

When staying with Club/Abound Points or with one (or more) week(s), the parking rules now are:

— One "V" (Villa) parking pass for use in parking lots near the assigned villa, at no charge
— One "G" (Guest) parking pass for use in the garage or at curbs, at no charge

In the past, it was possible to request a second "G" pass. Now, a second "G" pass is $30 per night.

The good news is that owners and, for example, a second couple in the second bedroom can still get free parking for two cars. As in the past, parking for the second car will be less convenient.

The bad news is that if you have local friends or family visiting for a few hours, and you're already using the two passes, there's technically no option for parking without paying $30 per guest car, even though those guests are not staying overnight. It would be nice to be able to get something like a 4-hour daytime "G" passing pass for free (or for a nominal charge).

I wonder if they aren't doing what some other resorts are doing. Cash based (and Bonvoy point) guests will now have a daily parking fee?

Yes. If you book a villa on the Marriott.com website, it indicates the following about parking:

On-Site Parking
Daily: $35.00
Additional Parking Information
$35 plus tax daily per vehicle. Limit 3 vehicles per reservation. No onsite parking for oversized vehicles

Presumably, that would mean a "V" parking pass for the first car and "G" parking passes for one or two additional cars.

Hi, does anyone have recent experience with NCV parking? Is it indeed $35/day or are the first two passes complimentary for timeshare stays (owners, exchangers, renters)?

What about though an II exchange, can I get 2 parking passes (for free)?

I think the question is how many parking passes are complementary for a timeshare exchange.

Correct. I used to be able to get 2.

On a recent owner timeshare stay I received 2 parking passes. One allowed me to park anywhere, the other was restricted to the parking garage. No charge for either.

Same when we last stayed in November

I think January 1 was the cutover to the new policy. Though it doesn't seem that the policy has changed for timeshare based stays.

There is no charge for TS stays.
