What Drives Price
Distance to terminal is a primary driver; closer lots command higher rates. Validation and services such as covered parking or valet add-ons raise costs. Other influences include seasonality (holidays and peak border times) and payment options (prepaid or bulk discounts).
Ways To Save
Compare options across outdoor, covered, and valet offerings to find a balance between price and convenience. Look for prepaid rates or loyalty programs that reduce daily costs. If cross-border access timing is flexible, using off-peak hours often reduces the daily rate.
Regional Price Differences
Prices vary by market and border flow. In urban CBX-adjacent facilities, daily rates tend to be higher than rural or suburban lots. Examples show roughly ±20% variation between centralized border zones and outlying garages, depending on occupancy and event schedules.
