| Safest Parkade at UBC/ Vancouver
What is the safest visitor parkade at UBC where your car won't get vandalized or broken into or stolen? West, Fraser River, Rose Garden, North, Health Sciences, and Thunderbird. Are there any others on campus? I am looking for a safe place to park my car overnight over one weekend? Are there any underground secure parking lots that are off campus? Price is not an issue

I don't think you're allowed to park overnight but I'm sure people do? I've never had any problems at West and Rose Garden.

If price is not an issue...maybe find a nearby hotel parking lot?

You are allowed to park overnight at the parkades. I want parking that is either watched by cameras or are not accessible by anyone (ones with a door that require a card for entry). Would hotels allow me to park in their secure parking? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Ive parked overnight numerous times in the parkades. Its not an issue.
If youre parking there for a week, when youre leaving, just say you lost your ticket stub and they'll charge you the maximum for the day. Done.

Any suggestions of good parking in the vicinity of the campus? Is the campus area pretty safe? Posted via RS Mobile | |

I despise Rose after the break-in spree last year from Oct to Dec. Break-ins were happening every week.

I've never had any troubles with North and Thunderbird. I left my car in North for the weekend of the clubs' ski trip and got it without any problems. If you're using a parking pass to get in and out, they'll charge you one use per day.

Someone broke into my car last year @ Health science parkade and stole my GPS.. sad. If you are looking for safest parking spot, park your car in front of bookstrore,but parking rate is 3.75$/hour lol.
