"Get out of the car" vs. "Get off the car"
"Get out of the parking lot" vs. "Get off the parking lot"
Would anyone please tell me which one is correct.
Thanks

If you're telling someone in the car to leave then "get out" is correct. If
you'r telling someone sitting on your car you'd say "get off" the car.
Both can be used in telling someone to exit the lot.
