Can I leave my car overnight in a metro parking lot?

| I left mine at New Carrolton several times no problem. I usually park where the cabs sit. This last time I could only find parking in the back of the lot and someone broke my window, taking only the change in my cup. Now I have to spend hundreds having the glass fixed. |

I believe there's zero enforcement. I've done it many times at Grosvenor and White Flint.

| Just make sure you're not in a "reserved until 10 a.m." spot. |

| I just left my car on the top level of the Shady Grove metro parking garage on a Wednesday through Sunday and everything was fine. I've left it longer in the past. |

| I've left my car overnight in the Grosvenor and New Carrolton metro stops before with no issue. I didn't even know some stations had overnight parking areas. |

| 2017 thought? Need to leave the car overnight somewhere near glenmont. Friday - Sunday afternoon; think it'd be ok in the metro lot? |

| I've only done it at Huntington. Technically, you're only supposed to leave a car overnight in the spots that are designated for that (they're in the taller garage). However, I'd believe that there's no enforcement. |

Actually there is some enforcement, but each lot doesn't get patrolled each day. You might get lucky and you might get towed. No way to know. Greenbelt has overnight parking. I live right near Glenmont and unless you find street parking, I can't think of anywhere you could leave your car. I think the church right next to the station rents spaces. You might try to contact them. |

| I've done it a bunch of times at Vienna and Dunn Loring, mainly to take the metro to DCA. I had no idea we weren't supposed to. I do avoid the reserved until 10am spots. Never had an issue, and I've left it there for multiple days. |

| People I know do this all the time to avoid paying for airport parking. |

| Has anyone left their car overnight at Wheaton? Any chance of getting towed or the car stolen or vandalized? Thaks |

I park every day at Wheaton and I've seen cars sitting there for days on end. It depends on your level of risk tolerance though. |

| Any recent experience with this at West Falls Church? I’ve done it in the past with no issues not even realizing it wasn’t allowed... |

Bumping this thread,
Wondering if anyone has done this recently. It would be from Friday to Saturday. |
