Also, what constitutes a day? Flight leaves early Saturday morning and will return early Monday morning. Is that two days (Sat+Sun), or 3 days (+Mon morning)?

Seems like Expresso is the airport parking company of choice for savvy OAK flyers. I think I set a new Expresso lowest rate record. 
I'm able to get a rate under $5 per day for 4 and 5 day stays with a $5 off promo code I just received. See details in my post here:

Expresso is indeed the commuters' choice. They have bought market share with rock-bottom rates. This allows them to run shuttles every 5 minutes or so, which means you get the fastest service as well. Airport parking is very much a winner-take-all market.

I'm flying out of OAK on Saturday midday 5/15 and returning the following Monday afternoon. I'll also be traveling with 3 adults, 1 with limited waking abilities but not wheelchair issues. Any tips, or do you stick with Expresso?

Hey so indoor or out door for a couple of days there? It looks like the indoor is also where the shuttle is....

I always park outside. $6 per day, and no taxes or fees. Hard to beat.

Add my vote for Expresso - it's fantastic. I use valet when I'm expensing the trips, use indoor for personal trips. Quick shuttles and good frequency. Expresso makes OAK a breeze.

I've used Expresso quite a bit and had excellent experiences with them.
During certain busy times, they can fill up (or so I've heard). According to one of their cashiers I spoke with, if you make a reservation on their web site and the outdoor parking is full, they'll park your car indoors. The "reservation" doesn't seem take any information that would let them identify you as the party having a reservation, so I'd probably print out the notice and bring it with.
I've never actually tried to park outside when the lot was full, although I did once when the outdoor lot only had about 5-10 spaces left, so maybe it does happen.
