On the plus side we literally waited zero minutes for the shuttle after we landed at SFO.
After the driver was done loading the shuttle driver told everyone that we needed to tip him because "sometimes people forget". This had the effect of reducting my tip from the usual $5 to $1 (which he only received because he did assist with luggage when we exited).
This place is prohibitive without coupons, but at least the shuttle frequency is good.
Prices are certainly high without coupon. But no reason to ever park without one.
Even at similar pricing, I think I prefer ParkSFO over LTP. But the tipping comment was definitely inappropriate.
Cheers.
yup. No reason to ever not use a coupon. Agree tip comment is inappropriate. That would cause me not to tip.
as for pricing, where else are you going to go for better pricing (unless you want to do BART Milbrae, but not even cheaper, I don’t think, unless you are parked at least a week+ when you include BART fare back and forth). Parking Spot (formally Park ‘n Fly) and Anza all more expensive (IME), and not as convenient - Anza last time I used them put me in the old, not properly paved part of lot, then ‘forgot’ to stop at T2 even though I clearly told them that’s where I was going, then had a long wait for a shuttle back even with calling. LTP lot I used a bit during pandemic with promos.

depends where you are. I have not always easily found a spot at ParkSFO, but usually no more difficult than anywhere else. LTP, from
end of pandemic and on, seems to often have the new garage closed off to Parkers. Hike from the old garage to train is a PITA.
last time, I had a 7am flight, so rather then shlep the fam super-early from East Bay, we did the park ‘n fly rate at Hyatt Regency. I think that worked out pretty well, obviously, with the caveat that although the parking add on is not expensive, it’s an additional hotel night/room cost.
