Parking
There is no charge for visitor parking in any of the decks or lots on campus. Piedmont Augusta is, however, not responsible for loss from or damage to vehicles. The visitors' deck offers convenient access to the main entrance. Handicapped parking spaces are located in all campus parking lots. If the patient you are picking up is being discharged from the hospital through the main entrance under the covered walkway, please leave your car in the visitors' parking lot until your patient has arrived in the main lobby. You may then drive to the main entrance to pick up the patient. If you are a patient or visitor in the Heart & Vascular Institute, please park in the flat lot located off of St. Sebastian Way.
Valet Parking
Piedmont Augusta now offers valet parking services to our patients and guests Monday through Friday at the main hospital from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This service is free to seniors older than 65 and vehicles with a current, state-issued handicap designation. All other visitors can use this service for $3.
Valet attendants are available from 4-7 p.m. at the main hospital to retrieve valet-parked vehicles. Vehicles left after those times can be retrieved by Security.
Our Emergency Department parking lot is attended 24/7 by a ParkMed Escort Cart.
