Major Parking

Great location if you come to downtown for shopping or a meeting. Friendly staff. You don’t wait more than few min to retrieve your car. The rate is usually less than half what you pay in union square area.

Major Parking. has my secret for years, but the family that owns it works so hard to please their customers, it’s worth it.
Major Parking is a small family owned operation, and the service and consideration is the kind you rarely get these days. The lot is small and a bit «funky» — the pavement is a bit uneven, but the location a block from downtown, the price and above all the care taken of the cars makes it a great resource.
Monthly parking is about $ 200. Daily is $ 10 but can be higher on special occasions like parade days. Overnight is $ 25 (as opposed to about $ 40 for hotels, I think) but with no late night in and out. Weekend evening and event parking can be more, and they do use surge pricing during parades, etc, which can run from $ 15 to $ 25. (Still cheap.)
Daily parking has no in and out privileges, but the owners are usually flexible, depending on how busy they are. It is always a good idea to give them an approximate leaving time, as otherwise it may take a long time to get your car out from the back.
The price for larger cars is higher and they do not take buses, long vans, limos.
The neighborhood is Tenderloin and at times a bit weird but never dangerous — those of us who work in the area know that it is in fact safer than the Powell Street area.

I’ve been going to a conference in the Hilton for the past two days.
I used
to find the cheapest parking available in the area.
I ended up picking this open lot.
It’s a small spot, but they seriously manage to get all cars in.
The best thing, it’s $ 10 all day! Compared to garages & other places. I’ll take it!
It’s located just a block away from the Hilton and not far from the main shopping center.
The girl that works there (and the only one I’ve seen) is such a hard worker and a great parker! She already recognizes me and is very sweet.
TIPS:
Accepts credit card, which is great!
Eddy street is a little ghetto & there are plenty of tweakers that hang out by the lot, but once you cross the street. It’s back to normal homeless people. I kind of just hide by the parking office while she gets my car. I can hear all the weirdos yelling at each other and stuff. I’m not afraid or anything, but just a beware for people who are freaked out by druggies!
