The San Francisco International Airport (SFO), located 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, primarily serves San Francisco Bay Area. It is the second busiest airport in California and the 7th busiest in the U.S. Consequently, parking at SFO tends to get somewhat chaotic even at the best of time. Nonetheless, there are plenty of San Francisco Airport parking lots in and near the Airport. Your only challenge will be to choose a spot that suits your needs and your wallet! Travelers can choose from any of the six on-airport parking spots or from the numerous offsite lots that offer parking near SFO airport.

SFO Airport Parking rates range from $2/15 minutes (for Terminal Parking) to $45/day (at Park Valet). You don't necessarily have to park at the onsite SFO Airport Parking garages. Offsite San Francisco Airport parking garages are a far more affordable option, with rates starting for less than $4/day. There are plenty of SFO parking garages that offer parking near SFO at prices lower than onsite SFO Airport parking rates. Most of these lots also provide free shuttle runs to the San Francisco Airport.
