1. A computer-implemented method for automatically retrieving a vehicle capable of autonomous operation from a parking space at a parking facility, comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, a target location at which to provide access to the vehicle to a user;
determining, by the one or more processors, a holding location separate from the parking facility, the holding location being different from the target location;
determining, by the one or more processors, a movement plan for the vehicle, the movement plan including an autonomous route from the parking space to the target location, the autonomous route including a first portion from the parking space to the holding location and a second portion from the holding location to the target location; and
causing, by the one or more processors, a vehicle control system of the vehicle to operate the vehicle to the holding location according to the movement plan prior to receiving a request to provide access to the vehicle.
