Levi's Stadium Game Day Parking: Dings, Dents and Scrapes

Why event lots are hard on cars

Tight spaces, fast turnover and tired drivers after games.

Smarter parking

Choose end spots, avoid spaces next to large trucks and pull in straight.

Photograph on arrival

A time-stamped photo of your car's condition helps if you find damage later.

If you find damage

Photograph it, look for a note and report it to venue security.

Repair

Small dings and scrapes are often cheaper than a deductible.

What to do before you leave the car

Walk around the car and photograph all four sides in the lot, with time stamps. Note the row or section where you parked. If the lot has attendants or cameras, remember where they were. Lock the car and take valuables with you.

A dash cam with parking mode can record impacts. Some record only when it senses motion, so confirm the setting.

When you come back and find damage

Do not drive away until you have photographed the damage and the surroundings. Look for a note from the other driver. Report it to venue security or the lot operator, and file a police report if the damage is significant. Insurers often ask for a report on hit-and-run claims.

Many event damage cases are small dents and scratches. Compare our free estimate with your deductible before you file anything. If the other driver left information, contact their insurer and keep a record of every call.
