How to pay less
- Economy and long-term lots are usually the cheapest official option; garages next to the terminals cost more for the convenience.
- For long trips, compare the total with a taxi or ride-share both ways, and with private off-airport lots — check their shuttle times before you book.
- If you only need to pick someone up, a waiting (cell phone) lot is usually free; drivers wait there until the passenger is at the kerb.
