My gate pass is kept in a small change compartment near the instrument panel on the driver's side.

One day my mom in law was behind a car that approached one of the gates. The older gentleman in the car, the driver, opened his window and extended a piece of wood, either a long dowel or a narrow pole of some sort. Attached to the end of it was his gate card. He swiped the card then brought the wooden pole back into the car. Wonder where the heck he kept that???!!!

My car door has a small cavity that is a door pull used to pull the door closed. Perfect place for the card.

The gate pass sits in the rubber boot of the 4-wheel drive gear shift.

Rarley use the gate pass in the hot summer ...just drive to the visitor gate, wave at the attendent, and you will always get in sometimes even faster than using the resident gate at the busier entrances such as Morse Blvd heading north from 466.

Someone mentioned they used their sunvisor. My sun visor seems to be extra thick so I can't even clip the garage door opener to it.

The gate pass fits nicely in my cupholder in the console. I only use the gate pass at other villages since I discovered the resident side of my village gate opens automatically when you get close enough to it.
