Parking Guidelines
We’ve made the difficult decision to conclude Gig operations. As we approach this transition, our services may be limited. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We make parking a breath of fresh air with Gig. As long as you use a legal spot in our HomeZones and follow the rules listed below, you can end your trips without having to worry about an additional cost of parking.
Do's and Don'ts of Gig Parking
✅
- Make sure to end your trip in the same HomeZone where your trip began. It does not have to be the same exact spot you picked up the Gig.
- Traveling and parking outside of the HomeZone is okay. Just lock the Gig instead of ending the trip and pay the meter or parking fees.
- You can use some parking lots we’ve partnered with. These are designated in our app with a “P” symbol and can be clicked for more information.
- Parking is allowed in non-brand specific car share parking spaces within our HomeZones.
- Grab a Gig Card as a backup to assist with locking and unlocking your car when your phone, Bluetooth, or cell service aren't available.
🚫
- Red zones within the HomeZone mean you cannot end your trip there.
- Valet parking is not permitted, as only you are allowed to drive the Gig during your trip.
- You can’t end your trip in private, off-street areas such as driveways, underground garages, office buildings, malls, and apartment complexes. You must choose “Park and Come Back” in the app.
- Do not park in spaces that are designated (by name) for car companies other than Gig.
- You will be held responsible for tickets or towing that were caused by your trip.
- Avoid tickets by not parking:
- Within 12 hours of street sweeping or other city service.
- In handicap spots, bus lanes, loading, commercial, or construction zones.
- In non-Gig approved private or public lots or parking garages.
- Good rule of thumb: if the curb is white, yellow, green, red or blue — you cannot park a Gig there.
Just treat the car like it’s your own. When in doubt, call Member Support at (800) 464‑0889.

In Albany, you have to end your trip in a non-metered spot. These metered spots are red zoned in the app to help you know where not to park.
