Overview & Suitability
The Bryan Street Parking Garage is a municipal, multi-level facility owned and operated by the City of Savannah. Built in 1996, this brick-and-concrete structure offers 497 spaces, making it a highly reliable and popular option for parking in the heart of Savannah's Historic District. The garage is highly suited for standard passenger cars, minivans, and SUVs, providing a convenient alternative to street-level parking. Please note that it is not suitable for RVs, motorhomes, or oversized commercial vehicles due to vertical clearances and tight interior turning radiuses.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The facility features a maximum vertical clearance of 7 feet (7'0" / 2.13 meters), which easily accommodates standard vehicles but prevents taller trucks or campervans from entering. Drivers can access the garage via two primary entrances: one on Drayton Street (a one-way northbound street on the west side) and another on Abercorn Street (two-way traffic on the east side). Exits are located on Bryan Street, Abercorn Street, and Drayton Street. The structure has 7 levels, with ramps and pedestrian-friendly access via elevators and stairwells situated at the southeast and southwest corners.
