# Understanding Guest Passes
Guest passes allow residents to temporarily register additional vehicles so guests can legally park at the community for a short period of time.
Each property sets its own rules around guest parking, including limits on duration and quantity.
---
### **What Are Guest Passes?**
Guest passes:
- Allow **temporary vehicles** to park on the property
- Are intended for **short-term use only**
- Are subject to **community-specific limits**, such as:
- Maximum number of guest passes allowed at one time
- Maximum number of days per guest pass
- Monthly or rolling limits per resident or vehicle
These rules are defined by your community’s parking policy and are enforced automatically by the system.
---
### **How Do I Add a Guest Pass?**
You can register a guest vehicle in either of the following ways:
**Option 1: From the Dashboard**
- Log in to your account
- Select **Register Guest/Rental** from the red button at the top of the dashboard
**Option 2: From the Left Navigation Menu**
- Log in to your account
- Select **Guest/Rental Vehicles**
- Choose **Create Guest Pass**, **Invite Guest**, or **Extend Guest Pass**
Guest passes can be:
- Completed directly by the resident, or
- Sent as an **invitation** so the guest can register their vehicle themselves
---
### **What Information Is Required for a Guest Pass?**
When creating a guest pass, the following information is required:
- Country
- State
- License plate number (with confirmation)
- Vehicle make
- Vehicle model
- Vehicle color
- Start date and time for the pass
Once entered, the guest pass must be **paid for** before it becomes active.
---
### **What Happens If Guest Limits Are Reached?**
If a guest vehicle is parked for the **maximum allowable consecutive days**, the system may classify it as an unauthorized long-term vehicle.
When this happens:
- The vehicle may become a **Restricted Guest Vehicle**
- Restricted vehicles **cannot park** on the property again until the restriction period ends
- Unused guest days **cannot be applied** while a restriction is active
You will be notified before activating a guest pass that would result in a restriction and must acknowledge the warning to proceed.
---
### **Can ParkingPass Extend or Override Guest Pass Limits?**
ParkingPass automatically enforces your community’s parking rules and cannot:
- Extend guest pass durations
- Increase guest vehicle limits
- Remove guest vehicle restrictions
If you need:
- Additional guest passes, or
- A longer guest stay than allowed
You must contact your **property management office** for approval.
---
### **Where Can I Review My Community’s Rules?**
For full details on guest parking limits and restrictions, please review your community’s **parking policy** available within your resident account.
