If there is no one in the booth at the entrance, there are several options by the curb in front of the Visitor Center: 1. Pay with cash in the red payment envelopes; put the tear-off on your dashboard. 2. Use your phone to scan the QR code to pay and register electronically. You'll need your license plate number for this. No receipt needed. 3. Pay with a credit card at the machine. Put the receipt on the dashboard. 4. Buy a pass inside the VC.
