Parking Tips
Visitors to San Francisco If you are planning to visit San Francisco and are staying in a hotel in the Union Square Area, we recommend you don't rent a car. The hotels charge quite a hefty fee for parking your garage at their hotel (around $100/night in many cases) and while you can choose one of the following garages to park for less, you will not have in and out access and will be charged each time you bring your car in and then leave. In other words the 24 hour fee is only if you were to keep your car there and not move it.
Parking Garages and Parking Rates for the Union Square Area There are four main garages primarily used for Union Square. While parking in San Franisco and Union Square is not inexpensive, these garages have reasonable rates for their locations.
