Parking Near the College of Charleston
Downtown Charleston is a walkable, historic city and like most historic downtowns, on-street
parking fills up fast. The good news: you have three great garages just steps from campus, so you
can park once and enjoy your visit without watching the meter.
We recommend arriving at one of the following three garages. Each is a short walk to campus, and parking in
a garage means no interruptions to feed a meter and more time to explore the city after your tour.
- St. Philip Street Garage — 89 St. Philip Street (between Vanderhorst and Calhoun)
- Francis Marion/Marion Square Garage — 399 King Street (between Vanderhorst and
Calhoun) - George Garage — 34 St. Philip Street (between George and Liberty)
Rates are posted at each garage entrance, so you'll know the cost before you pull in.
One quick note: the spaces marked for faculty, staff, and students are reserved and monitored, so
please use a garage instead. The garages keep your visit stress-free and your car right where you
left it.
