ISO Inexpensive Parking at SF's Fisherman's Wharf
December 23, 2014 8:13 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for inexpensive over-night parking in or near Fisherman's Wharf for Christmas night. We'll be taking 2 cars, but our hotel only allows parking for one.
We don't want to have to spend $50+ to park a car overnight, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any reasonable options that are also in a safe and secure area? Close to the center of the Wharf preferred, but we're option to other suggestions. Thanks.

You can also get there by driving there and having car #2 pick you up and then drive back to the hotel. That's what I'd do.

Best answer: Both SF city meters and Port of SF meters are not enforced on Christmas. There should be a ton of metered spots in and around Fisherman's Wharf. So you'd need to keep an eye on when they usually start and just feed the meter / move the car on the 26th.
Map of port of SF meters that may or may not help. Otherwise I think you best bet would be tracking back towards Union Square. You can plug in dates and times to get estimates on this page. I think it will automatically show the place where overnight parking is not permitted.

I use Parkopedia for this. Its coverage of San Francisco is particularly good. If it's just Christmas night, there are a couple lots nearby that are $10 to $15 for the night, assuming you arrive in the evening. Finding an open metered spot in San Francisco is not a winning game, in my experience.

My favorite place to park is the Sutter and Stockton Garage off of Union Square. There are a bajillion spaces. The rates have always been better than private parking. Here are the rates, looks like it would be $22 on a weekday.
Admittedly it's not near you at the wharf, but you can get there easily by bus.
