SFO Parking
Hey guys!
I'm flying down to Texas this Thursday out of SFO (the cheapest place I could find on short notice. I usually fly anywhere from OAK).
I'm just wondering if you guys know of any safe yet affordable parking places when I can leave my car for a couple days until I come back late sunday night/early monday morning 1245AM?
I've looked online for cheap parking at SFO but most of the searches keep directing me to places like travelodge and places like that. It said parking for 3 days and 10 hours or something close to that time is only $28. Not sure how that works but I don't want to take a chance. Any idea how much it would cost me to park at the long term parking?
Do you think it would be cheaper to have my mom drive me to SFO rather than park my car there? I could always take BART to SFO but when I arrive back in SFO at 1245AM, I don't want to have my mom drive by herself for about 1 hour at night.
Thanks in advance for your responses! =]

my best advice to you bro is to just have someone take you and drop you off.. usually those places are parking garages, and a lot of thieves lurk around those kind of areas cause they know that people leave the cars there for long periods of times and security is careless...

I agree, even if reimbursing someone for gas for drop off and pick up is a little more expensive, you'll have peace of mind not leaving your car in a garage.

Have a friend drop you off at bart on your way out, and because of your arrival time, have a friend pick you up at SFO. I would hate to leave my car at an airport parking.

SFO longterm is only $14 bucks a day, if you think thats expensive to park anywhere around SFO and get a ride to and from your car, you should probably just get a ride to the airport.

Haha, does the town car service include heated seats, in-ride movies, and gourmet popcorn? 
One of my best friend's is the person I asked first but he won't be done with finals until that day anyways, so he's a no go. I guess I have no choice but to have my mom drop me off at Dublin BART and pick me up at SFO then.
Is SFO really that bad of a place to park in long term? I could always bring my AP and put it in valet..lol. I don't doubt you guys, just wondering

Yeah, if your stressing about it so much you should probably just have your mom drop you off at bart, it drops you off right at the airport, its pretty much a no brainer if you live anywhere near a bart station, and then just take the bart back to dublin, you'll probably even get there faster than driving.
BTW, where are you going to in TX?

No, its not a bad place at all, where did you get that idea? And whats that about valet? theres no valet parking, you just park it and take a free shuttle to and from your terminal.

From what I can gather from everyone else's responses so far, SFO is a no go for long term parking, but I may have to check it out tho. I wouldn't be able to take BART back because my flight arrives in SFO at 1245AM and I believe last BART from SFO is about 10PMish.

HAHA, I would NEVER let some valet person drive my car, NEVER EVER NEVER NEVER NEVER!!! =] I meant bring along my AccessPort and put the valet map on or w/e it is called that disables startup.

but also google it, we would always find half price SFO long term parking coupons online, then its just $7 a day, and its a very safe parking, monitored and very bust 24/7, hell Ive seen Bentleys there when i parked there. g'luck!

I used SkyPark last time when I went to Vegas. They have an indoor parking lot and an outdoor one, but it's valet parking. You can choose whether u want outdoor or indoor parking. Outdoor is $14/day and indoor is $16/day with a coupon. They will have a free shuttle ready for you if you tell them what time you'll be coming, so no waiting. Free coffee and doughnuts as well 
They are on 1000 San Mateo Ave in San Bruno, which is only a 5 min drive to the airport. When you come back, all u do is call them and they will send a free shuttle for you.
