Savannah Hotels with Free Parking: Save on Your Stay

Parking in downtown Savannah is one of the hidden costs of a visit. Valet parking at Historic District hotels can run $30–$45 per night, and self-parking garages aren't much cheaper. Over a three-night stay, that's $90–$135 in parking fees on top of your room rate.

If you're driving to Savannah, finding a hotel with free or included parking can make a meaningful difference in your total trip cost. Here's what you need to know.

Before looking at specific hotels, it helps to understand the parking landscape:

The Historic District has limited free street parking. On-street parking in the Historic District is metered and time-limited. Free street parking exists but requires patience and luck, especially on weekends.

City parking garages are available but paid. The City of Savannah operates several parking garages in and around the Historic District. Rates vary but typically run $10–$20 per day.

Hotel parking is the most expensive option. Valet parking at major Historic District hotels runs $30–$45 per night. Self-parking at hotel garages is typically $20–$30 per night.

The good news: Once you're parked in the Historic District, you don't need a car. The city is walkable and most attractions are within a 15–20 minute walk of any Historic District hotel.

Hotels on the edges of the Historic District and in the surrounding neighborhoods are more likely to offer free parking than those in the heart of the district. The tradeoff is a slightly longer walk (typically 10–20 minutes) to the central squares.

What to look for: When searching on Expedia, use the "Free parking" amenity filter. Properties that include parking in the rate will be clearly marked.

Extended-stay properties and suite hotels — particularly those on the edges of the Historic District — are more likely to offer free parking as a standard amenity. These properties also tend to offer larger rooms and kitchen facilities, which can reduce dining costs.

The area around the Savannah Visitor Center on MLK Jr. Boulevard has several hotels with free or lower-cost parking. These properties are on the western edge of the Historic District — a 10–15 minute walk from the central squares.

Ask about parking when you book. Always confirm the parking situation before you finalize your reservation. Ask specifically: Is parking included in the rate? Is it self-parking or valet? Is the lot on-site or off-site?

Consider parking packages. Some hotels offer parking packages that bundle the room rate with parking at a discount. Ask when you book.

Park once and walk. Once you've parked in the Historic District, leave the car for the duration of your stay. Savannah is compact and walkable — you don't need a car to get around.

Use the city garages as a backup. If your hotel charges for parking, the City of Savannah's parking garages are typically cheaper than hotel parking. Check the City of Savannah's parking website for current rates and locations.

Consider arriving by train or bus. Savannah is served by Amtrak (the Palmetto and Silver Meteor routes) and several bus lines. If you're coming from Atlanta, Charleston, or another nearby city, arriving without a car eliminates the parking problem entirely.

For most visitors, the answer is: it depends on how long you're staying and how much you're driving.

For a 1–2 night stay: The parking savings may not justify a less convenient location. Pay for parking and stay in the heart of the Historic District.

For a 3+ night stay: The savings add up. A hotel with free parking that's a 15-minute walk from the squares can save $60–$135 in parking fees over a longer stay.

If you're planning day trips: If you're planning to drive to Tybee Island, Bonaventure Cemetery, or other destinations outside the Historic District, having a car is convenient. In that case, finding a hotel with free parking makes more sense.

Compare current rates, parking amenities, and availability for Savannah hotels — and use the free parking filter to find properties that include parking in the rate.
