The 210 Barnard Street Lot is a professionally managed, open-air surface parking facility operated by the Parking Management Company (PMC). Located in the heart of Savannah’s North Historic District, this central lot offers convenient self-parking options for visitors, commuters, and locals alike, placing guests steps away from top-tier historic spots and dining.
Overview & Suitability
This open-air surface lot accommodates standard passenger vehicles, including SUVs, minivans, and light trucks. It is perfectly tailored for tourists exploring downtown Savannah, daily commuters, and dining patrons. Please note that on Sundays, this lot is leased and reserved primarily for members and visitors of the adjacent Independent Presbyterian Church, meaning public commercial parking is restricted during church service hours.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an open surface lot, there are no overhead clearance restrictions or height barriers, making it an excellent option for taller passenger vehicles. The entrance is situated on Barnard Street near West Oglethorpe Avenue. Drivers will find the layout straightforward with clearly marked spaces, though caution should be exercised when navigating the historic district's narrow lanes and tight turning radiuses.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking is managed via the seamless PMC Pay mobile web platform. To park, drivers simply scan the QR codes posted on PMC signage or text the number provided on-site. Payments can be securely made via major credit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay without downloading a dedicated app. While rates can fluctuate during major city events, typical self-parking tariffs are estimated as follows:
- Hourly Rate: $5.00 per hour
- Daily Flat Rate: $25.00 per day
- Monthly Pass: $150.00 (subject to availability upon inquiry)
Security & Amenities
The facility features standard lot lighting for night parking, clean asphalt paving, and highly visible PMC signage outlining payment methods. The lot is subject to routine enforcement by PMC lot auditors utilizing license-plate recognition technology. To avoid ticketing, guests must ensure their license plate is correctly entered during payment registration.
