    The steep slopes of the city need to be cautious driving the car or parking it. In a sloping street, the cars must be parked perpendicularly to the slope or with the wheels blocked against the sidewalk.

    driving to and around San Fransisco iss a serious business, just look around at the cars - most have at least one smashed door or fender - doesn't matter if it's a Lexus or a Buick. I 've crossed two bridges -Bay and Golden Gate - both are toll on the way into San Fransisco, but free on your way out.

    By Car: Port of San Francisco Cruise Terminal Parking

  • There is finally a reasonable long term parking alternative for those cruising Alaska or those short turn around cruises to Seattle or Van Couver and reverse out of the Port of San Francisco. SF Cruise Park at Pier27( 2 blocks south of the Pier35 cruise terminal ) provides secure indoor parking and FREE shuttle service for passengers AND luggage to and from the cruise terminal. They accept all major credit cards AND personal checks! The other operators charge cash in advance. I found out about them by calling (415)-806-4300 or (415)-274-0608, the Port of San Francisco parking info line.
