Annual Pass

Hi,
I’m looking into the Universal Annual Pass (preferred) and notice that it includes free parking.
Does anyone know if I stay onsite at RPR for a couple of days, am I allowed to park free as I understand this does not include the hotel parking?

Also does it usually involve a discount for the hotels as we travel in peak time (July)
Thanks

Many Thanks

i believe that you still have to pay parking at the hotel.
Hotel discounts are available all year but will vary with demand etc

You still have to pay at the hotels and you cannot leave your car in the Universal Studios car park overnight (you might get away with one night but I'd expect to see a ticket on the car if I tried that more than 1 night)

As others have said the hotel parking is separate to the theme park parking and therefore you would still have to pay for it.

You definitely still have to pay for parking but unlike at Disney, the Universal annual pass discounts apply to almost anything you buy onsite. This can add up pretty quickly on counter service food etc.

The hotel discounts can be very good but I believe you can't usually book too far in advance. You may need to be abit flexible on which hotel you book too.

Thanks for all the replies.
Think I’m going for the Preferred annual pass 2 park. Would like the 3 park one, but there are significant Summer holiday blackouts for VB unfortunately 😦🙄
Hope to get 2 maybe 3 visits use out of them, so should be worthwhile.
