Overview & Suitability
The PMC - 9 W 43rd Street Lot is a conveniently located surface parking facility situated in the heart of Savannah’s vibrant Starland District. Managed by Parking Management Company (PMC) via their platform parkingmgt.com, this open-air parking lot is ideal for both local patrons and visitors. It is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and light trucks. Due to its layout as a standard surface lot, it does not support oversized recreational vehicles (RVs) or motorhomes, which should seek designated oversized parking elsewhere in the city.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an open-air surface lot, this facility offers a convenient parking setup with no overhead height restrictions, making it an excellent choice for vehicles with roof racks, cargo carriers, or slightly taller profiles that would not fit in traditional parking garages. Access is straightforward directly from West 43rd Street, and navigation inside is relatively easy for standard vehicles. However, drivers of exceptionally long vehicles should use caution when maneuvering around other parked cars, as spaces are optimized for standard passenger vehicle dimensions.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
The lot operates with flexible, mobile-friendly payment options. While on-site parking spaces can be secured on a pay-on-arrival basis, pre-booking is frequently available through platforms like SpotHero. The estimated pricing structure is as follows:
- Hourly Rate: $3.00 per hour (estimated).
- Daily/Event Rate: Typically ranges from $8.74 up to $20.00+, depending on neighborhood events.
- Monthly Parking: Available for local residents and commuters through the PMC portal.
Payment can be seamlessly completed using PMC Pay. Drivers can scan the QR codes displayed on signage throughout the lot with their smartphones, or text the specified number to receive a payment link. Major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all widely accepted, removing the need to download dedicated apps or carry physical cash.
Security & Amenities
The facility provides standard open-lot safety features. It is well-lit for those arriving or departing after dark and includes standard ADA-compliant parking spaces. Regular monitoring is conducted to ensure compliance, and PMC customer support is available digitally via their website’s chatbot or through local representatives.
Strategic Alternative
Positioned right within the bustling Starland District, this lot acts as a strategic parking hub for several surrounding venues and attractions. It serves as an immediate off-street parking option for patrons of The Sexton Pub and Provisions (located directly on-site at 9 W 43rd St) and is a short, convenient walk to the premier live music and event venue, Victory North. Additionally, it offers a reliable, budget-friendly alternative to historic downtown parking, allowing visitors to easily explore nearby dining, unique boutiques, and galleries in the local arts community.
