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.
