Overview & Suitability
This open-air surface parking lot is managed by the Parking Management Company (PMC) and is situated at 10 E Broad St within the historic Trustees' Garden in Savannah, GA. This lot primarily serves visitors to the adjacent Charles H. Morris Center, the Kehoe Iron Works Building, and the surrounding historic sites. It is highly suitable for standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light pickup trucks. Because it is a flat, ground-level surface lot rather than a multi-story garage, it offers a more straightforward parking setup, though oversized vehicles like commercial trucks or motorhomes may be restricted during peak event hours.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As a surface parking lot, there are no overhead clearance or height limits, making this facility an excellent option for taller vehicles, SUVs with roof racks, or lifted trucks. Access to the lot is provided directly from East Broad Street, and the entry is marked by a prominent brick-pillared entrance with a "Trustees Garden" sign. The lot features well-defined spaces, wide driving lanes, and a simple layout that is easy to navigate, ensuring stress-free entry and exit even during busy events.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
The lot operates on a completely digital, contactless system called "PMC Pay". Drivers can pay upon arrival by scanning the QR codes on the purple PMC signs placed around the lot or by texting the designated number to access the secure mobile checkout page. Payment can be easily completed via credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, with no app download required. Pricing typically adjusts depending on local events and demand, with pay-on-arrival standard rates estimated at:
- Estimated Hourly Rate: $5.00
- Estimated Daily/Event Rate: $20.00 to $25.00
- Bookings: Generally pay-on-arrival, though reservations may be available online for specific events at the Charles H. Morris Center.
Security & Amenities
The lot is equipped with perimeter lighting to provide visibility and safety for guests arriving or departing after dark. While it is a self-service lot, PMC parking enforcement staff and lot auditors routinely monitor the property. The primary amenity is the user-friendly "PMC Pay" system, which sends text message alerts when your session is about to expire, allowing you to add more time remotely from your phone.
Strategic Alternative
Positioned on the eastern boundary of downtown Savannah's Historic District, this lot is a prime alternative to the crowded street parking of the Riverfront. It is located directly next to the famous "The Pirate's House" restaurant and is only a short walk from East Bay Street, the River Street Boardwalk, and the Savannah Belles Ferry Stop. Parking here allows you to bypass the heavier congestion of the city center while remaining within easy walking distance of top Savannah attractions.
