Overview & Suitability
The Bryan Street Parking Garage is a premier public parking facility owned and operated by the City of Savannah. Built in 1996 and located right in the heart of the Historic Landmark District between Bay Street and Bryan Street, this multi-level parking structure has a capacity of 497 vehicles. It is perfectly suited for daily commuters, tourists, and overnight hotel guests who want to park their standard passenger vehicles safely while exploring the city. Please note that due to structural limits, this facility is not suitable for RVs, motorhomes, or oversized trailers.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The garage offers dual entry points, with convenient entrances located on both Drayton Street and Abercorn Street. Navigating the facility is straightforward, though drivers should be aware of the 7-foot maximum clearance height (7 feet 0 inches). Oversized passenger trucks or SUVs with roof racks should carefully check their clearance before entering.

Security & Amenities
The Bryan Street Parking Garage provides excellent, well-lit covered parking with 24/7 access and round-the-clock municipal monitoring. On-site facilities include four EV charging stations (such as Tesla chargers). Additionally, the City of Savannah's Mobility & Parking Services office is headquartered directly inside the garage, making it convenient to purchase on-street Visitor Day Passes (VDP) during weekday business hours. Important enforcement note: Back-in parking is strictly prohibited and subject to ticketing.
Strategic Alternative
Positioned a mere block away from the iconic River Street, the Savannah Riverfront, and local historic squares, this garage is an exceptional strategic alternative to expensive hotel valet services and highly competitive, time-limited street-level parking meters. Drivers can park their cars here for the duration of their visit and comfortably utilize Savannah's highly walkable layout or the city's free public transit shuttles.
