The lowest price in each row is highlighted. Airport lots are shown at their posted rates; private lots before their taxes and fees.
Stays over 24 hours: each full 24 hours at the daily maximum; the extra hours at the short-stay rate until they reach the daily maximum (the airport does not spell out how it charges the extra hours).
The airport has announced higher daily maximums when Garage 2 opens later in 2026, with no exact date yet: Economy $14, Daily Lot $19, garage $28. This estimate uses today's rates.
Good to know
$2 for each 30 minutes or part of it until the stay passes 3½ hours; after that the full $21 daily maximum is charged for each 24-hour period, so a stay of more than 3½ hours (up to 24 hours) costs $21. The airport has announced garage parking will rise to $28 a day when Garage 2 opens later in 2026.
