VISITORS BEWARE, they watch this lot like a hawk. I paid $12 for 2 hours and was given a $75 ticket for expired time. I did some research and this lot is owned by a private entity and operates out of Aurora,Colorado. They have absolutely no affiliation with any government agencies or the city of Austin. It's also a civil penalty and not a moving violation which means it doesnt affect your license nor can they issue a warrant against you. They threaten to send it to a collections agency if unpaid. Same old song and dance just like red light camera tickets. The worst thing they can really do is put a boot on your car or have it towed if you park in their lots again with unpaid fines. I have seen several people contest the fines and the best they can do is lower it by a few dollars.
Stand up for your civil rights and quit letting these extortionists take your hard earned money. They should be pummeled for trying to charge people $75 for tickets because that is nothing short of highway robbery. Austin has several million dollars in unpaid parking tickets and there's a reason why.

I arrived at the parking lot 604 Driskill for the first time about 8:45 PM on October 17, 2017. I didn’t know how to to pay. I was expecting someone to help me pay or collect the money as it is in any of the other parking sports around downtown Austin. Because I didn’t see anybody, I was expecting to pay when leaving. A few minutes later, I went back to my car to see if there was anybody to pay and I saw a $75 Parking Notice on my windshield. Again I was looking for a person and nobody showed up. So I started walking around the parking lot and found the cashiers machines to pay. I decided to pay the parking fee. I paid $10. I was nervous and upset because of the Parking Notice and the miscommunication. When I was typing I missed one number. I typed XXXXX10 instead of XXXXX19, but your $10 parking fee was paid at 10:11 PM.
I disputed the parking notice with this note and the response was negative. So I paid $75 more for a total of $85 - It is...
Read moreI recently went to the parking lot at 604 Driskill St Austin, TX 78701 on Sunday 6/25/23. I parked in this lot without immediately paying and they booted my car at 5pm within 30 minutes of me being there. I didn't realize until 9 pm when I was leaving the lot. I was charged $194.85. $20/hr for parking is so absurd. When I was leaving, there was 5 other cars booted. My friend just told me today she got a parking ticket in the mail today for $80. This company isn't even in Texas. They are based in Louisiana and taking advantage of Austinites. I hope something can be done to prevent these crazy business practices. A lot of us can't afford to be taken advantage of right now. I also did not feel safe as a woman in a pitch dark parking lot waiting for this person to show up to take boot off. I also emailed the Mayor on this issue lol. Hopefully everyone else can...
