I talked with ParkSFO staff about this after a trip leaving Friday, October 15. I'd arrived at ParkSFO about 5 am Friday morning and had no trouble parking outside. When I returned Sunday noonish, I found cars double-parked outside up and down the aisles (I had to get an employee to move one of them so I could depart). The employee indicated that had been happening the last couple weekends.

However, this past weekend, parking demand seemed to be way down. There weren't many spaces outside on Friday night at about 9 pm, but there were a few, and there was plenty of room on Saturday when I returned.

I've been using Fastrack on Produce Ave. with the $8.99 coupon on longtermparking.com.

I just went to print out another, and it seems to have gone up to $10.69.

Anyone have any better deals for this lot?

At 7am on Friday BAP had a good 50 or more space in their outdoor lot, and plenty more under the building. Can't figure out their rates as I was charged $17.25 for a 2 day 7 hour stay. Guessing they didn't charge for the full third day. The posted rate was $8 a day plus tax.

Indeed, this past Friday (October 29), I arrived at about 10:45 pm and got a prime spot outdoors right next to the exit booth (where I used to always park, before ParkSFO got popular! :D ). Bizarre.

I'm running out of ParkSFO's 3-day coupons, so for this weekend's longer trip, I'm planning to give BAP a try.

Used Quikparksfo over the Halloween weekend
 

I was charged 10+tax ($11) a day. Website says $8+tax, I guess you need to make a reservation on-line?

Will give parkbap a try next time, and do the on-line reservation thing if necessary.

I have used ParkSFO with coupons before, but I've never received a 7 day coupon. I was happy with them, but they always worked out to $10-12 a day for me. If I can get <$10 I will be happy, especially with a 13-day trip coming up. But maybe I should just take BART at that point, even with a companion. Main thing that bugs me is dragging luggage at rush hour.

For a 1-day mileage run I am tempted to stick with the airport parking. Shuttle frequency seems better, but maybe not better than ParkSFO.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to this thread.

Heck, for a 1-day mileage run, why not just park in one of the International Terminal parking lots for $20 and walk to your gate, skipping shuttles entirely?

FWIW, a civil engineer friend who commutes frequently thinks the ParkSFO shuttles are more frequent than SFO's long-term parking shuttles. Anecdotally, I agree with him, based on my (usually quite brief) waits for the ParkSFO shuttles.

QuikPark-SFO price increase: Up $1.00
 

Just booked for 12/4 and now showing $9.90 a/i ($9.00 plus 90¢ tax)

ParkSFO is pretty good. Coming from the south, Anza isn't half bad either.

The Millbrae BART parking site seems to imply that you'll only get a long term spot if you arrive by 10 AM. If I got to Millbrae at 3:15 on a Friday, do you think I would be fine for getting a spot?

13 day stay - Doubletree room + parking
 

We're going to PEK from Dec. 22-Jan 3. This is 13 days of parking. With ParkSFO, we could get 2 days free, so 11 days at about $15/day with taxes (indoor parking), or $165.

BAP was average $9.69/day, so that comes out to $125.59. quickparksfo was $143.

For $146 we got a room at the Doubletree and 14 days parking. Since we'll come in the night before, it's exactly 14 days. As HHonors Gold, we'll get breakfast as well. Also, we can get up later and get to the airport more easily.

Unless I'm missing something, this seems like the best deal overall for this long a stay, even if a little more then BAP.

Cheers.

The Holiday Inn SSF (North) is $109 over a similar time period, w/2 weeks parking. Even w/taxes, it is a deal.

The Hyatt has been running some park and stay rates at $109-119, though you only get 10 days there and there's a charge per extra day (thinking $10--their website is down right now). I stayed there Thanksgiving night just because I wasn't sure I'd find a parking lot with spaces the following day for a trip to London. Having Hyatt status took care of wifi and breakfast for me.

I've also used the Crowne Plaza before but they only include 7 days now (I stayed the full 14 earlier in the year on a UK/Germany trip but that has changed). You do get a lot of freeway noise at the property so probably not good for a light sleeper. A lot of the Holiday Inn/Holiday Inn Express properties both north and south of SFO also have park and stay rates.

I ended up at Hyatt this last time as I still had some Costco certs to bring the price down below $100. There was a Holiday Inn around the same price but I don't get any perks there, so Hyatt made sense.

Excellent idea, especially since you get points & stay credit also. Last Christmas/NYE I used the Park & Fly rate at the Crowne Plaza SFO, by far was one of the cheapest options at the time. Unfortunately they only offer 7 days of parking this year instead of the 14 they offered last year.

Thanks for the tip. Although I think it may be worth the additional $20 (the base rate is $129) for upgrade, breakfast and HHonors point credit. Still, this is a great deal as well ^

Cheers.

Weekends are easy for parking at Millbrae BART. 3:15 is a bit early but some people should have already left from the spots eligible for long term use, so I think you should have no problem. If you could get there a bit later -- like 6pm Friday -- you can have any one of hundreds of spaces.
