Despite my exhortations to leave the driving to locals and use the public transportation system to get around, I know that some of you will still want to drive the crazy streets of San Francisco, or at least arrive by car. But with parking fees averaging $30 to $40 a night at most hotels, the extra charges can add up for visitors with wheels. So if you're going to rent a car or bring your own, you might want to consider staying at one of these hotels that offers free parking:
Beck's Motor Lodge, the Castro
Cow Hollow Motor Inn & Suites, Marina District/Cow Hollow
Hostelling International San Francisco -- Fisherman's Wharf
Hotel Del Sol, Marina District/Cow Hollow
Laurel Inn, Marina District/Cow Hollow
Marina Motel, Marina District/Cow Hollow
Phoenix Hotel, Civic Center
San Francisco Airport North Travelodge, Near the Airport
Seal Rock Inn, Richmond District
The Wharf Inn, North Beach/Fisherman's Wharf
