Emory Hospital

My wife is having surgery at Emory and will be in the hospital over a weekend. Is the parking free on Weekends

At Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, parking policies can vary depending on the specific hospital location and the lot you use. In general, parking is not free on weekends at Emory. The hospital charges for parking at all times, including weekends, in most of its parking garages and lots. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:

  • Parking Rates: Emory typically charges for parking in both visitor and patient lots, and the rates are the same on weekends as they are during weekdays. For example, rates can range from $3 to $5 for up to an hour, with daily maximums of around $10-$20 depending on the lot.
  • Valet Parking: Emory offers valet services at some locations, and valet parking is usually available for an additional fee (typically around $10-$15 per day).
  • Parking Garages: Emory has multiple parking garages near the hospital entrances. These garages are generally convenient, but they can fill up quickly, especially during peak hours.
  • Weekend Parking: While parking is not free on weekends, the weekend hours may be less busy, which can make it easier to find a spot. Some hospitals also offer discounts or flat rates for weekend parking, but you should verify the current rate with the hospital directly.

If you plan to park at Emory University Hospital, be sure to check the specific parking lot signage or Emory's website for the latest rates and any special instructions for weekend parking. You may also want to consider using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, which could be more convenient and cost-effective if you're concerned about parking fees and availability.

Wishing your wife a smooth surgery and a quick recovery!
