Jefferson Avenue Parking Garage

The worst garage on the face of the planet. Never any spaces, rude employees, and no respect from other drivers

I worked in Redwood City for a week, and discovered this garage after one or two days. While I had to pay $ 6 or so at other garages, this one only cost me $ 1.75 for the work day. Awesome deal.
I arrived earlier than all the shoppers, so there were plenty of spaces to park. I parked near the pay booth and the elevator for convenience.
Beware though, prices change after 6pm. One day I slept in the car after work because I was not feeling well and also wanted to avoid the rush hour, and when I paid after 6pm the cost was $ 7! When the machine gave me change, it spits out the cash on the floor, so I had to pick them up off the floor.
These minor annoyances can’t compare to the great benefits of this garage. I will just be more careful not to stay past 6pm. Will definitely use this garage again when I work there again next month.

my preferred choice of parking whenever i’m in downtown redwood city. this garage is centrally located in the downtown neighborhood, and sits just underneath the century movie theatre and all of the shops and restaurants located along theatre row. it is typically crowded on the weekends since visitors to downtown rwc will all park here.
prices are as follows:
weekdays: 5am-​6pm, $ 0.25/hour, 6pm-​11pm, $ 2.50/hour, 11pm-​2am, $ 0.25/hour
weekends: $ 2.50/hour
overnight: $ 20
the first 1.5 hours are always free, and if you have validation from the century movie theatre, the first 4 hours are free (enough for a 2 hour show and a meal!)
be sure to pay for your ticket at one of the many machines scattered throughout the garage before you exit as you won’t be able to leave without a paid (or validated) ticket.
