Airport Parking Prices Jump 15 Percent This Year

Airport parking prices jumped 15% nationally this year, with major hubs charging over $40 daily for terminal-adjacent spots.

Economy lots offer significant savings but require shuttle rides adding 20-30 minutes to your travel time. Plan accordingly for early morning departures.

Price Comparison

LAX charges $40 daily for covered parking near terminals. JFK reaches $39. Denver sits around $30 with their new garage expansion.

Off-site lots near most airports run $10-15 daily with free shuttles. Book online for additional discounts up to 25% off posted rates.

Alternatives Worth Considering

Rideshare drops cost less than three days of parking at most airports. Uber and Lyft pickup zones sit within walking distance of every major terminal.

Public transit connections improved at several hubs. Denver’s A Line runs $10.50 round trip from downtown. Seattle’s Link Light Rail costs under $7 each way.

Reservation Tips

Book parking two weeks ahead for holiday travel. Popular economy lots fill completely during peak periods. Most services allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival.
