Price depends on the date (online quote only, not ranked): Fast Park & RelaxOff-airport. Check the operator's site for your dates.
Our calculator counts each started 24-hour period as a full day (the operator does not publish its partial-day rule).
The valet page also says “a minimum of $9 per hour”, but the airport's own fee calculator charged the full $32 for 30 minutes, so we count $32 for any part of a day.
Stays over 24 hours: each full 24 hours at the daily maximum, the remaining hours at the posted short-stay rates (the operator does not publish its multi-day rule).
The $48 daily maximum is not posted; it comes from the airport's own fee calculator.
