Where Is SFO Long-Term Parking? Address and Location Guide

The SFO Long-Term Parking Garage sits at 794 South Airport Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94128. It's on the western side of the airport campus, separated from the main terminal loop. This keeps it quieter and less congested than the Domestic and International Garages.

The facility is near the intersection of South Airport Boulevard and the airport's internal road network, just off US-101 (Bayshore Freeway). Nearby neighborhoods include San Bruno and Millbrae to the south, and South San Francisco to the north. SFO sits about 12 miles south of downtown San Francisco, roughly 25–45 minutes by car depending on US-101 traffic.

If you're using a GPS or navigation app, plug in the full address: 794 South Airport Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94128. You can also check real-time traffic on Waze before you leave — US-101 can slow significantly during morning and evening commutes.

Airport signage directs drivers to the Long-Term Garage from both the US-101 and I-380 approaches. Follow signs for "Long-Term Parking" as you enter the South Airport Boulevard corridor. The garage entrance is clearly marked and separate from the Domestic Garage entrance.

How Much Does SFO Long-Term Parking Cost Per Day?

The SFO Long-Term Garage charges a maximum of $27 per 24 hours, the lowest daily maximum of any on-airport option at San Francisco International Airport (taxes and fees included, per SFO's official parking rates page, checked October 2026). The rate structure bills at $4 per 30 minutes, capping at $27 once you've been parked for a full day.

Here's how that adds up across a typical trip:

The Long-Term Garage costs about 34% less per day than the Domestic Garage ($27 vs. $41). Off-site, Triply's lowest SFO rate is the Best Western Grosvenor Hotel at about $9/day, about 65% less per day than Long-Term: roughly $66 vs. $189 for a week. It has a 5-day minimum and a shuttle that runs only part of the day (details below). Hampton Inn and Courtyard San Francisco Airport run about $10/day and DoubleTree San Francisco Airport North Bayfront about $13/day, but none of the three has a shuttle, so add a rideshare each way. Off-site rates here are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. Before you commit, compare SFO off-site parking from about $9/day on Triply.

How Do You Get from SFO Long-Term Parking to the Terminal?

The AirTrain Blue Line connects the Long-Term Garage directly to every SFO terminal. Access the AirTrain from Level 5 of the garage. The train runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with trains arriving every 4 minutes during normal operations.

The AirTrain Blue Line stops at all terminals in sequence:

• Harvey Milk Terminal 1 (Southwest, JetBlue, American, Hawaiian, Alaska select flights)
• Terminal 2 (Alaska, Air Canada, Breeze, Sun Country, Southwest as of March 2025)
• Terminal 3 (United domestic flights, Boarding Areas E & F)
• International Terminal (Boarding Areas A & G — United international, Air France, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and more)

The full ride from the Long-Term Garage to the farthest terminal typically takes around 10–15 minutes including the walk to your gate. Budget time accordingly — especially if you need to check bags or clear TSA security screening before your flight. Enrolling in TSA PreCheck can cut your security wait significantly and give you more flexibility with your arrival time.

How Do You Get to SFO Long-Term Parking by Car?

Two main highways serve SFO Long-Term Parking. The approach you use depends on where you're coming from.

From US-101 (Bayshore Freeway)

1. Take the US-101 to the San Bruno / South Airport Boulevard exit
2. Follow South Airport Boulevard toward the airport
3. Watch for signs reading "Long-Term Parking" — they appear well before the terminal loop turnoffs
4. Turn into the Long-Term Garage entrance on South Airport Boulevard

From I-380

1. Take I-380 West from I-280 toward the airport
2. Follow the airport exit signs and merge onto South Airport Boulevard
3. Follow "Long-Term Parking" signs to the garage entrance

Wayfinding at SFO is well marked. You won't need to enter the terminal loop at all — the Long-Term Garage has its own dedicated entrance off South Airport Boulevard, which keeps things moving even during peak travel days.

What Are the Vehicle Height Restrictions at SFO Long-Term Parking?

The Long-Term Parking Garage has standard height clearances for a multi-level structure. Overheight vehicles — such as large SUVs with roof racks, vans, trucks, or vehicles with bike carriers — cannot fit in the covered levels. SFO provides a surface lot option adjacent to the main garage for these vehicles.

If you're driving an overheight vehicle, plan to use the surface lot area. It's open-air and uncovered, so factor in weather if you'll be gone for several days. The surface lot still connects to the same AirTrain Blue Line access point on Level 5, so your transit to the terminals works the same way.

Check the posted height restriction signs at the garage entrance before pulling in. If your vehicle doesn't fit, staff can direct you to the appropriate overflow or surface area. For detailed directions and layout tips, our SFO long term parking directions guide walks through every route and vehicle consideration in depth.

Is There EV Charging or Remote Bag Check at SFO Long-Term Parking?

EV charging stations are available at SFO's Long-Term Parking Garage. The airport has invested in electric vehicle infrastructure across its facilities, and the Long-Term Garage is included. For current station availability and locations within the garage, check SFO's official EV charging page before your trip.

Remote Bag Check is another standout feature at SFO's Long-Term Parking — and one most third-party guides don't mention. The service, operated through the airport's ticketing partners, lets eligible passengers check their bags directly at the garage rather than at the terminal counter. This saves time and means you can take the AirTrain without hauling heavy luggage. Participating airlines and hours vary, so confirm availability for your carrier when you book.

These two amenities, EV charging and Remote Bag Check, make the on-site Long-Term Garage genuinely convenient for the right traveler. None of the SFO lots Triply sells lists either service.

How Does SFO Long-Term Parking Compare to Off-Site Parking Options?

The Long-Term Garage is SFO's best on-airport value, but most off-site lots near SFO cost significantly less. Here's how the main options compare:

The trade-off is clear. Off-site lots on Triply cost about $9 to $13/day (Home2Suites at about $24/day is the exception, only about 11% below Long-Term). But only the Best Western Grosvenor has a shuttle, and it runs just 5:00 to 10:15 AM and 5:00 to 10:25 PM. The other lots mean a rideshare each way, which eats into the savings. The Long-Term Garage costs more but gives you the AirTrain as often as every 4 minutes, EV charging, and Remote Bag Check. For travelers who value a simple ride to the terminal, the on-site option makes sense. For longer trips where the savings matter more and a rideshare is fine, off-site wins.

Tips for Saving Money on SFO Long-Term Parking

A few smart moves can cut your total parking bill significantly — whether you stay on-site or go off-site.

• Book online in advance: SFO's official site lets you reserve the Long-Term Garage ahead of time. Airport online bookings can be changed or cancelled up to 2 hours before entry.
• Compare off-site lots first: Triply's off-site lots start at about $9/day. A 5-day trip at the Best Western Grosvenor (5-day minimum, part-time shuttle) costs about $47 vs. $135 in the Long-Term Garage. The other off-site lots have no shuttle, so add the cost of a rideshare each way.
• Look for current offers: Check our SFO long term parking promo code guide for current deals.
• Avoid peak travel days: Around major holidays, the Long-Term Garage can fill fast. Book at least 1-2 weeks in advance during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break.
• Consider BART for short trips: If someone can drop your car at home, BART from downtown San Francisco to SFO takes about 30 minutes. Check the current fare at bart.gov. For a 2-day trip, that can be far cheaper than any parking option.
• Check cancellation policies: Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
