UAB Hospital’s Visitor Parking Options
UAB Medicine lists visitor parking in lots, decks, and valet areas, giving patients and visitors several ways to reach the medical center (uabmedicine.org). The published visitor rate is $5 for 0-1 hour, followed by $2 for each additional hour, with an $11 daily maximum (uabmedicine.org).
Saturday and Sunday parking has a $7 flat rate (uabmedicine.org). Valet service is available Monday-Friday (uabmedicine.org). The hospital’s parking information identifies decks and lots as visitor choices, while employee parking pages describe permit-only facilities separately, so visitors should use the patient and visitor arrangements rather than employee options (uabmedicine.org; uab.edu).
Parksy Spaces Near the Medical Center
Two outdoor lot listings on 1717 6th Ave. N. are 227 yd away and each costs $5 a day.
A secure garage space in Birmingham is 0.5 mi away at $6 an hour. A covered space in Five Points South is 0.6 mi away at $4 a day, making the latter the lower-cost choice for a longer stay among the more distant options. Two additional lots are 0.6 mi and 0.7 mi away, priced at $5 an hour and $6 an hour respectively. Hourly spaces are better matched to shorter visits, while the day-priced spaces are easier to budget for extended hospital time.
Street and Residential Parking Around 6th Avenue South
The hospital sits at 1802 6th Avenue South in Birmingham, where public visitor parking is separated from UAB employee parking arrangements. UAB Transportation states that a permit is required for employee parking, including deck, lot, and intermediate-lot options (uab.edu).
For a patient visit, using a listed visitor lot, deck, or valet area is more suitable than treating nearby employee facilities as general parking. The employee information identifies UAB Hospital arrangements that include the 6th Avenue Deck for weekend-only employee use, reinforcing the need to distinguish staff parking from visitor parking (uab.edu). A Parksy space or the hospital’s visitor facilities provides a clearer option than relying on unrestricted residential curb space.
Arriving for a Patient Visit or Emergency at UAB Hospital
UAB Medicine directs visitors to a range of parking choices that includes lots, decks, and valet service (uabmedicine.org). Valet is available Monday-Friday, while the visitor rate changes to a $7 flat rate on Saturday and Sunday (uabmedicine.org).
For emergency care, drive directly to the emergency department rather than delaying arrival while searching for a cheaper space. Patient visitors can choose the hospital’s visitor parking arrangements, and the published visitor tariff reaches an $11 daily maximum on the hourly schedule (uabmedicine.org). The hospital is 1.0 mi from Birmingham center, so allowing extra time for downtown traffic and the final approach is sensible.
