About this Location

Overview & Suitability

The 12 E 40th St. Parking Lot is an open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of Savannah's trendy Starland District, managed by Parking Management Company (PMC). This lot is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. Because it is a compact neighborhood surface lot, it is not suitable for oversized vehicles, heavy-duty trailers, or RVs.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

Being an open-air, flat surface lot, this location offers the advantage of no overhead height restrictions, making it an excellent choice for vehicles with roof racks or taller profiles. Access to the lot is directly off East 40th Street, featuring standard-width entryways that allow for easy navigation and turning. Drivers should watch for pedestrian traffic typical of this vibrant, walkable arts district.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

Pricing is highly competitive for the area, with hourly rates starting around $2.00 and daily parking available from approximately $7.99. Drivers can easily pre-book their space online via SpotHero to guarantee a spot. For those paying on arrival, the lot features PMC Pay, which allows drivers to pay instantly by scanning a posted QR code or texting a code to complete payment via credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay—no app download required.

Security & Amenities

This self-parking lot features clearly marked, freshly paved, and well-striped stalls. While it is an unattended, open lot without physical gates, its location in an active commercial and residential neighborhood with steady foot traffic and local street lighting offers a reliable and convenient stopping point.

Strategic Alternative

Located in the Thomas Square/Starland District, this parking lot serves as a perfect alternative to avoid the higher congestion and steeper rates of Savannah's North Historic District. It is steps away from local favorites like Starland Yard and the Bull Street commercial corridor. Additionally, it operates as a budget-friendly off-site parking alternative for events at the Enmarket Arena, offering a straightforward 1.1-mile walk or quick rideshare option to the venue.
