Main Tower Garage Valet-Only Parking
Valet-only parking is offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC Main Tower Garage. Due to space limitations, parking in the Main Tower Garage is reserved for patients and families with special needs. All other drivers will be directed to park in the Victoria Garage, including patients’ families, drivers who self-park and drivers who must park for longer than eight hours. If a vehicle tries to enter the Main Tower Garage driveway and there are no children or special needs passengers, the driver will be directed to the Victoria Garage. Patient drop-off is available at the Main Lobby entrance in the Main Tower Garage. Download our parking map.
Qualified drivers who valet park will receive a claim check stamped with the time the car entered the garage. Upon leaving the hospital, drivers are asked to return the claim check to the cashier at the Information Desk and pay the appropriate parking fee. The cashier will return the driver’s portion of the claim check, which is then given to the valet who will deliver the vehicle to the main entrance of the hospital.
