If you are staying around Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach, or the Marina, you will likely arrive via US‑101 and Columbus or Bay Street. Curb space is scarce and rules shift by block and season. To keep things simple, secure lodging with garage access or choose a nearby facility with 24/7 access and good lighting. Before you head into the city, lock in your car rental through Hola Car Rentals so the vehicle class fits your hotel’s parking constraints.
Garages vs. curbside
Garages cost more than meters but add security and predictable hours. Street parking often has time limits, street‑cleaning windows, and event‑day restrictions. Never leave valuables in view; a clear cabin helps prevent break‑ins. If you are arriving from a late flight, confirm the garage’s overnight staff and camera coverage.
Suggested approach
Plan your arrival for mid‑afternoon, drop bags at the hotel first, then park. If you want extra cargo space for luggage trolleys or strollers, browse the minivan rental selection. If loyalty perks matter, check vehicle availability at the Hertz location at SFO or National’s SFO lineup via Hola Car Rentals.
Costs, holds, and insurance
Hotels may bundle parking with resort or urban fees; garages bill by calendar day. Your rental provider may also place a hold for incidentals. Hola Car Rentals offers All‑Inclusive+ Rate with maximum coverage, Cashback on tolls for Bay bridges, and No additional fees that can save up to 60% compared with standard walk‑up rates.
FAQs
- Is street parking legal overnight? Often yes, but watch for posted time limits and street cleaning.
- Are garages safer? Enclosed, staffed garages reduce risk but do not guarantee security.
- What about oversized vehicles? Confirm height clearances before you book.
- Should I remove luggage each night? Yes—keep the cabin empty and locked.
