Comment on Is there public parking in San Francisco that is near the Fairmont Hotel and Golden Gate Park? by Roaddogg

Well, yes, but using public transit would be by far the best way to visit either or both of these destinations. The MUNI system has frequent bus, cable car, and light rail service throughout the citywith connections available to all parts of the bay area via BART regional rail and the many other transit providers. Transit in the San Francisco area is safe, clean and cost effective and avoids the highly congested streets & freeways. Good Luck!

As stated above, the hotel is not near the park.

That being said, around the Fairmont there are garages, most of them very expensive. The city-owned ones are cheaper, but farther away.

Street parking is mostly commercial in the area, but within about a six-block radius you might be able to find something for a few hours. Pay close attention to parking restrictions on the signs.

There is a lot of street parking in and around GG Park. There is one underground parking garage near the Museum.

Anyplace that sells insurance will likely sell you travel insurance. If you have the time shop around because rates can fluctuate greatly from one company to another.

If you live in British Columbia try Coast Capital. I’ve always found their rates to be pretty good.

One more thing – if you are on a company extended health benefits plan you might already be covered for travel insurance. Check that before putting out good money for something you might not need.

The Fairmont Hotel isn't anywhere near the Golden Gate Park. The hotel is located in the Nob Hill district.

CAA, Blue Cross, Co-operators etc, and your bank all sell it, as well as does any company who sell insurance for your home. The prices do differ, so phone around and get the best rate, you can also check online for the travel insurance. You really do not need all the extra insurance they will try to sell you like travel interruption, baggage, etc. It is more for a hospital visit that you will want it for. I would call your bank first to see what kind of rates they offer, and then where ever you get your house insurance.
