Overview & Suitability

The parking lot at 41 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd is a centrally located, open-air surface facility managed by Parking Management Company (PMC). Situated adjacent to the historic Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum and the beautiful North Garden Assembly Room, this lot is exceptionally positioned for both history enthusiasts and local commuters. It functions as a dual-purpose lot, offering complimentary parking for registered museum visitors and private event guests while serving as a paid public parking facility for non-museum visitors. The layout accommodates standard passenger vehicles, minivans, and SUVs. However, due to its surface design and integration with museum grounds, it is not suited for oversized commercial vehicles, heavy motorhomes, or RVs.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

As an open-air surface lot, the facility has no overhead height clearances, eliminating the clearance worries often associated with multi-story parking garages. Main access is easily navigable from Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Orange Street. The lot is fully paved with wide driving lanes, facilitating effortless entry and exit. It features standardized parking spaces, including four dedicated ADA-accessible spaces equipped with curb cuts that lead directly to the museum garden pathways.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

While museum patrons enjoy validated parking, public parkers can take advantage of the seamless PMC Pay system. Drivers are not required to download any applications; instead, they simply scan the on-site QR codes or text the designated number on PMC signage to initiate a session via mobile web. Payment options include major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The estimated parking rates are:

• Hourly Rate: $5.00
• Daily Rate: $20.00
• Monthly Subscription: $163.95 (available for regular commuters)

Security & Amenities

This surface parking facility is paved, clearly lined, and illuminated during evening hours, offering a safe environment for your vehicle. Key amenities include four dedicated wheelchair-accessible spaces with immediate ramp access to the grounds, mobile integration with PMC Pay for instant time extensions and digital receipts, and close proximity to the largest private gardens in Savannah Historic District.

Strategic Alternative

This lot acts as an exceptional parking alternative for anyone heading to River Street, the Yamacraw Village neighborhood, or the City Market area. By parking slightly west of the heavy pedestrian zones, visitors can avoid the congestion of downtown garages and enjoy a highly walkable stroll through Savannah iconic Historic District.
