Economy Lot F is O'Hare's standard long-stay option and often the best value on-airport.

Walk/shuttle: Direct terminal garage

Convenient for pickups but pricier for multi-day parking.

Off-site parking

Cost guide

Short-term rates are billed hourly and add up quickly — they're best reserved for pickups and drop-offs under two hours. Long-term and off-site rates are billed daily and both drop noticeably with advance booking.

Travel tips

  • Book parking online in advance — walk-up rates are almost always higher.
  • Photograph your row and level before you leave the lot; large economy lots are easy to lose track of.
  • Check whether your terminal changed before you park — some airports reassign gates seasonally.
