Parking

UF Health provides complimentary parking for patients and their visitors.

• Parking for patients or patient visitors is complimentary with a voucher. Patients and visitors must ask for a parking voucher at the check-out area, nurses’ station or other designated area when leaving their location of service and present it to the attendant upon exiting the garage. Please be advised that parking is cash only.
• Free valet parking is available for patients at the UF Health Shands Critical Care Center — which includes the UF Health Shands E.R., Level I Trauma Center and the UF Health Shands Chest Pain E.R. — as well as the UF Health Shands Pediatric E.R.
• Valet parking is also available in the front circle of our hospitals for $3 with a patient or patient visitor parking voucher.
• Patients and their visitors can still choose to self-park in the north campus East Parking Garage 10 (patient and visitor parking) on Newell Drive. This is also free with a voucher or $10 without a voucher.
