Question

How long can you park a car on the street in San Marcos, Ca w/o being towed?

Answer 1

Technically, your car can only be parked on the street for 72 hours before you have to move it lest you be towed.

Answer 2

Look for a shopping center nearby, and park it on their property. Look at the driveway entrances and see if there's a sign saying "cars parked after business hours will be towed" and the name and phone number of the impounding company.  This sign indicates the property owner had signed a contract with the impound company and tow anyone on the property when businesses are close.
