If you are staying in one room but want to park 2 cars at the hotel (eg; one for you and one for the wife), are you charged two daily parking fee (per car) or one single fee per room and provided two parking permits ?
what if you booked two roons for the stay and have two cars ?
What are your experiences with Bonvoy hotels ?

Certainly in the UK it would be 2 charges as each car is registered by the automatic number plate cameras as it enters the car park. Nothing to say though that with a bit of negotiation one of those charges is comped.

Also, automatic plate cameras wouldn't work in (or near) California because when someone buys a new car in California, they just have dealer plates at first, until they get the real plates in the mail.

Ok I asked the Hawaii hotel I'm staying at saying me and my wife have two cars and they agreed to charge me only one parking fee for the room while issuing two parking permits. The in-laws will be staying at another room and they have no car

I can understand why they were brought in - to save non-Marriott folk parking there for part/the whole day then going off shopping/to work. After they introduced the fee at the Glasgow Marriott, it meant you could actually get a parking space for your car!

In the USA, in many states you get a temporaty "plate" which is a piece of paper or at best cardboard to display in the window until the paperwork is complete and you have received the new plates by mail. In MN, our DMV recently went through a disasterous computer "upgrade" and the paperwork (and hence permanent plates) for many people were delayed for a very very long time. It's still a big mess.
