    I intend to park in the long term economy parking lot for 10 days. When I return at 11:30pm will there be an attendant on duty late at night so I can pay cash? I'd rather not deal with a credit card machine and call button.

    How can I get from Sacramento International Airport, to anywhere in San Francisco (I'm staying for a few days), in April? don't mind any trains, buses, Bart, Amtrack, etc. Do I have to go into central Sacramento? or is there something that goes straight out of Sac Airport? Thanks.

    very difficult to know where a passenger is for pick up at new terminal B baggage. passenger must be aware of EAST or WEST side and door number to advise person picking them up at airport.

    Can't find a "circle" pick-up route around Term.B. Have to exit and start over from the "all Terminals" signs at entrance to airport. Wait at curb? until pick-up tells me where they are? Pick-up phones me iin wait area at arrival, not at baggage claim.

  • Extra $5 charge for parking structure
    bjg said:
    (posted Tue, Nov 29)

     

    I parked my car on level 2 of the parking structure on Nov 18th and departed on Nov 23rd. I expected the $102 charge ($17/day for 6 days) when I exited the parking structure but was surprised to find another charge for $5 on my credit card titled CityofSac ParkingFacGar on my monthly statement. The $5 charge was posted to my account on Nov 21st (when I was on the east coast). Is this a new tax or fee in addition to the daily charge? They didn't have my credit card information until I paid the $102 charge on Nov 23rd, so they must have back-dated the $5 charge when I exited, and it is not listed on the $102 receipt I received when leaving the parking facility.

  • leaving car for daughter to pick up

    I would like to leave a car at the airport for when my daughter comes in, that she can then pick up and drive home. I assume I cannot use my credit card so how can she get out of the lot?
