Looking for Safe Overnight Parking in Santa Ana/Costa Mesa/Irvine While Living Out of My Car

Hello,

I’m currently going through a tough financial situation, which has left me needing a place to park my car overnight where I can sleep safely. I work full-time in Newport from 8- 5 PM, Wednesday through Sunday, and live in Santa Ana.

I’m looking for an overnight parking option, preferably from 11 PM to 6 AM. I’d be respectful of the space and would only use it for sleeping. If there are locations that allow sleeping in a car legally with a permit, that would be ideal. I can budget around $150–$200 a month, or roughly $5–$7 per night.

Any suggestions or advice would mean so much—thank you in advance!
