Overview & Suitability
The 301-399 E Congress Ln Parking, widely known as the Lincoln and Congress Parking lot (or 301 E Congress St. Lot), is a premier open-air parking facility situated in the bustling Historic District - North neighborhood of Savannah, Georgia. This flat surface lot is ideal for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, coupes, SUVs, and light trucks. It is not suitable for oversized vehicles, heavy commercial trucks, motorhomes, or trailers due to the tight layout and standard spot dimensions.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an outdoor surface lot, there are no overhead height limits, making it a great choice for vehicles with roof-mounted cargo or taller profiles. Access is readily available via E Congress Street and Lincoln Street. Drivers should navigate carefully as the surrounding historic grid features narrow one-way streets and frequent pedestrian traffic.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking rates are highly competitive for downtown Savannah:
- Hourly Parking: Estimated at $4.00 per hour.
- Daily Parking: Daily rates typically range from $11.00 to $18.00 depending on day of the week and local events. SpotHero reservations often start around $10.99.
- Monthly Parking: Available through the operator (TownePark, Location 8551) for $175.00 per month.
- Booking & Payment: Drivers can pre-book online or pay upon arrival using a mobile app or payment terminal. This is a cashless facility accepting major credit cards and mobile payments.
Security & Amenities
This self-park facility features clearly marked, paved spaces and basic street-level lighting. Since it is an unattended, open-air lot without physical gates, visitors are strongly encouraged to lock their vehicles and keep all personal belongings out of sight.
Strategic Alternative
This lot serves as an excellent, budget-friendly alternative to high-priced hotel valet parking and crowded city garages. It is strategically positioned within a very short walk of major historic landmarks, including Reynolds Square, Warren Square, River Street, Factors Walk, the historic Lucas Theatre for the Arts, and the Trustees Theater. It is also highly convenient for guests staying at nearby boutique hotels such as The Marshall House and the Holiday Inn Express Savannah-Historic District.
