Question

How to avoid surge pricing for airport parking?

You must reserve a parking spot in advance to avoid a surge in airport parking prices. It is ideal that you reserve a parking spot at an offsite lot via the Way app or website to save 40%-60% on parking rates compared to onsite rates.

How to avoid a surge in airport parking prices

  • Reserve early: It is always ideal to reserve your parking spot in advance, as the drive-up prices surge at the last minute. Also, you’re not guaranteed a parking spot when you drive up to the lots.
  • Opt for offsite lots: Offsite or hotel parking lots near airports always offer the cheapest parking rates and safe, guaranteed parking. Most offsite lots even offer a free round-trip shuttle service.
  • Choose long-term parking: Even if you’re parking for a few hours to a day or more, opt for a long-term parking spot at an offsite lot near the airport. The daily parking rate at the offsite lots is often cheaper than the onsite hourly parking rates.
  • Compare parking options: Always use the Way app or website to compare the parking rates across several locations.
