SFO Parking
 

Where is the cheapest long term parking at sfo?

Moving this thread to the San Francisco forum. Thanks for your understanding.

I tend to be a fan of SMA Airport Parking. You can usually find coupons online (on metroactive.com) that make it $7/day. Recently, they ran a coupon in the SF Weekly.

That said, unless I'm departing early, such that BART won't get me to the aiport in time, I always BART.

Think it depends on how many days "long term" is. I just did a 4 day stay at ParkSFO with a two free day coupon, but for anything longer than that I would have saved money at SMA with the $7 coupon.

Thanks guys for the post. Ive been a big ParkSFO fan for 4 days and under. The SMA coupon sounds like the best option for more than 4 days.

We recently used the parking at the Clarion hotel

$10/day (plus 10% tax). Very quick to/from the airport. Plus, every three stays gets a free day. We compared to ParkSFO, and it is just about always cheaper at the Clarion, excepting the 2-day coupon. With the 1 day (and a 3 day minimum), ParkSFO is cheaper unless you're a few hours over (like we were :)) and then Clarion wins.

Cheers.

I know a lot of people are not fond of Fast Track, but at $8.95 a day (coupon on line), they are ok for me. I usually park there for:

1. they pick me up and bring me to my car (I can never remeber where I park).
2. they will take bags out of my trunk and place them back into my trunk ( I often travel with +100 lbs of luggage and every little bit of help helps!)
3. at 8.95 a day they are cheap.
4. easy access back to 380 ( I am always tired when I get home).
5. offering, for a limited time, double points on the frequent parkers program. (yah, I know it is not as good as the old one, but it is much better than SFO long term [which is zip]).

+1. Good value, although their pick up from the airport is not as good as some other parking companies.

Any current parking coupons or offers
 

I need SFO parking for 10 days and I am looking for a cheap, safe option. A lot of people suggested SMA in the past, but it seems their prices have gone up. Any advice is much appreciated.

I like staying at the SFO Hilton and eating at Kincaid's. This lot is adjacent to the Hilton.

just booked for 1/9 (4am)-1/10 (1am) (can you say mileage run ;)) for $11.00 a/i. i'll let you know how it goes

I used to park at the Millbrae BART station ($6/day, plus BART charges & fees), but because of my personal boycott of BART-to-the-airport due to their tripling the airport surcharge, that is no longer an option for me.

Instead I use Burlingame Airport Parking (attached to the Hilton). They usually run about $7.50/day or $45/week with an advance reservation.

For my most recent trip, departing Christmas Day, they were already full. Fortunately I found a park-and-fly rate at the Crowne Plaza for $89 all-in, including 14 days' parking. Obviously not good for MRs, but for longer stays (mine is 14 days exactly), it's quite a deal. And you get a hotel room (and IC stay/night credit) thrown in, too. :D

The Doubletree is offering $99 rate which includes 14 days' parking. I know that this hotel is one where they should pay us to stay there, but really, they are, as the room rate is a lot less than my parking-alone bill would be.

The couple of times I parked there, I was not impressed with the shuttle frequency compared to ParkSFO. I did a lot of waiting.

sorry for being a few days late....
