First time poster, long time lurker here.

I’m moving into San Francisco next month, and I’m trying to figure out where to keep my 997 GT3 parked. I’ve looked at a few of the larger collector car storage facilities, and they all seem to have drawbacks for one reason or another (Sausalito Classic Car storage has a mile long waitlist, most of the peninsula places aren’t open on Sundays if I wanted to drop the car off after a weekend trip out of town, South Bay places are just a little too far from the city for convenience, etc.

I know I likely won’t find a “perfect” place, and I’m sure I can find something workable. But I have time to weigh my options, and so I’m curious to get input from this community about how others have solved this issue.

Are any of the self-storage places in the area worth looking into? Or does anyone have any other suggestions (or available secure parking spots close to the city)?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I work in San Francisco and have a crash pad in San Bruno. I commute from Charleston SC and considered bringing my Evora GT out here for some spirited west coast road-trips. But after several break-ins to my daily driver(street parking) I didn’t want to risk it. I searched for indoor/garage parking but never found anything suitable. Check out this website for possible options:

Thanks. I’ve been looking around on Craigslist and spacer as well. I suspect it will ultimately end up at one of the collector car storage facilities outside the city. Certainly not the most convenient option, but I feel comfortable that it will be secure in one of those places.

I have used self-storage facilities in a pinch. Can be an issue if you don't drive the car regularly because most don't have power outlets for plugging in a battery maintainer but some do have them.

I would look for a private garage for rent on craigslist. There are a bunch for $300~ a month or so.

Not sure if you're still looking, but most of the corporate parking garages downtown have monthly parking where you can keep/access your car 24/7.

Bumping this thread. I live in Mission Bay and am looking for a place that I can store my new 911 and keep it on a trickle charger. Ideally, in the city or just south of the city. Thx

The Motoring Club (based in LA) is about to open up a spot in the Marina. Reach out to them -- they'll certainly have space available. If you prefer an intro, I can do that too.

I will PM you. I'm interested in learning more.
