Parking is much cheaper in the East Bay; if you get to BART stations REALLY early on weekdays you can park at most of those for free.  Some do have parking reserved for late arrivals (10:00am and later) but in my experience those fill up quickly too. There are lots of cheaper public parking lots all over dowtown Oakland near several BART stations, and many have attendants.

Walk around ten hours and you've spent 100 dollars on parking.. Maybe its
better to use such facility over in Berkley or Oakland and take Bart to
SF..... Suggestions....
