There are a small number of parking spaces located at the venue, accessed via Calle Primavera. However, due to the limited availability of spaces it may only be possible to use this car park if you arrive very early. Meanwhile, the majority of Guadalajara's paid car parks are located in the city centre, with very few in the west of the metropole, where the Tennis Center is located. There may be some road parking nearby, but this cannot be guaranteed.

The roads surrounding the Tennis Center provide plenty of drop-off points. The entrance to the Tennis Center itself may also be used by those arriving early, however closer to the start of events this is likely to be very busy.
