1000 Van Ness Garage

You arrive at 10 AM per your cell phone… your ticket saids it is 10:07 AM… parking lot clock is ahead 7 minutes…24 hour fitness gets 2 hours of parking for 4 bucks… and then it shoots up to dollars per minute…

i didn’t have a bad experience with this place but it seems like its an pricey garage to park at. also the space was limited in here. the space were not too tight it was somewhat roomy so its a plus for making it easier to park. my friend actually parks here and he said he has to book a parking spot for monthly. he said a monthly parking for a honda cost 300 bucks. i don’t know if the size of the car will affect the parking fee but i find it costly to park in a garage and is expensive to even own a car in the city on top of the expenses such as living and eating as well.

They charged me $ 22 for parking for a movie. This is dishonest and crappy and I will NEVER go to this theater again. In fact, I am going to make a point of mentioning what crooks they are whenever there is talk of a movie. GO TO ANY OTHER THEATER. This is not an honest business and they should be ASHAMED.

On October 19, 2014, I was in San Francisco to celibrate my fiancé’s birthday. She was concerned about someone breakinh in my car, so we used 1000 Van Ness Garage.
Over night the car was broken into. I contacted the attendent and asked for there insurence information. He said he would give me the information at the office. I went to the office where he was talking on the phone with his boss. His answer has change and he pointed to a sign posted on the wall by the exit stating that assume no responsibility for damage to vehicles.
I would not recommend this business to anyone. This company shows the do not care for the customer, they only want your money.

Safe parking garage located underneath AMC theaters. I found the overnight parking fee to be a bit steep, but in comparison to nearby parking garages, it’s about as average as it gets.

This is horrible. Came in the garage and realized parking costed 4 bucks ever 30 minutes so we left after 3 minutes only to find out we have to pay $ 4 for 3 minutes. So not worth it. Hate it. Never entering this lot again.

Not the cheapest and you have to deal with all the movie patrons. However for the Great American Music Hall and other drinking adventures on Polk you can avoid the sketch of the area

I am a fan because they do a deal for gov employees. $ 5.50 for the day. Not too bad. It is relatively safe, its covered, it is a great place to nap in your car on your lunch hour and most the guys that work there are real dolls. Juan in particular and the cool ass Ethiopian guy.
The only thing that has ticked me off in my 3 years of parking here daily is every so often, well pretty often, the ticket machines when you are exiting malfunction and it takes more time to exit. Which sucks because I pretty hostile after work and just want to leave the TL ASAP.
Also good place to park before heading over to the Jiggly Room across the street (;

Decent price if you need to park here all day an can qualify for the early bird rate — $ 10 if you get in before 10am and leave before 7pm Mon thru Fri. Pretty pricey otherwise unless you can get validation for watching a movie at the AMC above.
O, and there are a lot of overnight pigeon droppings. I haven’t seen them in the daytime, so should be OK to park here in the day.

First of all, are you down with pigeons? If so, you will love this garage because here, pigeons rule! If you have any doubts about this, take a look around when ou walk in. OTOH, maybe you shouldn’t look up!
Our Gov’t agency contracted with this garage lured, I suppose, by the low rates. In the two months we’ve been there, six of our vehicles have been broken into. There is no security, and anyone can walk in off the street with no problem.

early bird rate raised from $ 8 to $ 10. boo.

I’ve never been a fan of this garage. I don’t like how narrow it is, even in my little car I find it hard to maneuver. But what really pissed me off was when my friend (Kailey O.) and I went to the theater next door to see a couple movies, then we go to validate our ticket for the $ 8 rate only to find out that we are literally 10 minutes over the 5 hour limit and we were forced to pay $ 18. Not cool.

DO NOT PARK HERE!!! Unless you plan on being in the lot for about 12 hours, this is a rip off.
I went to see a movie at the AMC which validates your ticket for 5 hours and you STILL have to pay $ 8 (as if movie prices weren’t bad enough). So after deciding to see two movies, I am ready to leave the garage and pay the $ 8. Unfortunately, I was there for 5 hours and 10 minutes, leaving me with a $ 17 bill. I can’t understand why they make you pay the max price for only 10 minutes.
The person working was not understanding and there was nothing he could do to pro-​rate the amount.
Find somewhere else to park your car while going to see a movie.

I’ve parked here for years, going to the theaters that are housed in the same building, and I also park here on weekdays as it’s not too far from work.
they have 1 upper level which is reserved for employees or handicapped parking, the street level which has 3 employee spots and 5 reserved spots, the rest of the garage is free game.
their rates are not too bad for the area, i believe it’s $ 6.00 an hour with a max of $ 17. they have an early bird special, in before 9, out before 7:30 and it’s $ 8.00. they also have a special price for government employees in the area (city, state, & federal buildings are in close proximity to the garage) where you buy discounted tickets and they end up costing you $ 5 a day to park… not bad considering parking closer to the government building can cost $ 15 a day. there’s discounted parking also for movie-goers…it used to be $ 4 for 4 hours, but i think the prices went up recently.
the staff is pretty helpful and the office is located on the street level, near the entrance to the elevators. i’ve never had a problem parking here as there’s always a «rover» on a bike going up and down making sure there’s no one messing with any of the cars.
