Does anyone know how this works? How do they implement the guarantee? If the LT lot is full, do you get a voucher to pay LT rates in the ST lot? What if both are full?
I have, in the past, gotten the voucher to pay LT rates in the ST lot. I suspect the reason they can make this guarantee, however, is that they have now upped the parking rates to such high levels that demand never exceeds supply anymore -- both ST and LT. It's cheaper to park at SFO!!
