In an ongoing effort to better serve the motorcoach industry, new motorcoach parking space is now available at McCormick Place.  The lot - just south of McCormick Place in the truck marshalling yard - is fenced, patrolled, and available 24 hours a day.

The cost for overnight motorcoach parking at McCormick Place is $20 per day.

SPECIAL INCENTIVE: If a hotel lead is issued and confirmed through the CCTB, the Bureau will rebate the parking costs with a receipt for each night the hotel stay coincides with the parking date.  This incentive can be combined with a $20 driver and $20 tour manager incentive that can be used to offset transportation , meal or other costs.

For more information on this incentive, contact Joleen Domaracki at jdomaracki@choosechicago.com or at 312-567-8571.
