San Francisco Parking

San Francisco parking is very difficult and expensive. Most hotels charge extra for San Francisco parking. Street parking is as easy to find as winning the lottery. The city owns a few very high tech lots near busy areas such as Union Square which are not too bad. Before renting a car for your trip, you should strongly consider investing your $40/day in taxicabs. Taxi's don't have to park and save you a lot of stress. Basically, the only good thing about having a car in San Francisco is travel to outlying areas such as Napa and Monterry. Within the city, it is highly counterproductive. Nonetheless, here are some San Francisco parking garages which may be of use to car owners.
