Official IAD long term parking costs $14–$39/day. Off-site lots start at $5.99/day.
Compare IAD Parking & SaveIAD operates four official parking products: the Economy Lot, Garages 1 and 2, the Terminal Lot, and Valet. The Economy Lot is the designated long-term value option — it is the cheapest, about a 10-minute shuttle ride from the terminal, and a free 24/7 shuttle runs from Curb 2F. The Garages are walkable via tunnel and priced for shorter stays; the Terminal Lot is directly across from the terminal; and Valet is the premium drop-and-go option.
All rates below come from Washington Dulles' official parking page, rechecked October 2026. Online reservations are available for all official lots and must be made at least 12 hours before entry.

All of our vetted IAD parking partners, sorted alphabetically. Every rate below is lower than IAD's cheapest on-site option. The lot with the lowest price carries a "Cheapest" badge.
“Comfort Suites Chantilly is the best value near IAD. Under six dollars a day is hard to beat. The shuttle runs on demand, and although you have to call ahead, it showed up right on time both ways. The lot is well-lit and the front desk was helpful. Saved over $100 versus the Terminal Lot for a week.”
“Dulles Airport Parking by Crowne Plaza is my go-to for IAD. The 24/7 shuttle runs every 30 minutes, and the deck is 75% covered, which matters in winter. The driver knew exactly which terminal to drop at. Worth the few extra dollars over the cheapest lot for the round-the-clock service.”
“Hyatt Regency Dulles is a solid mid-range option. The shuttle ran every 30 minutes during the day, and when my flight landed after 11 PM, they sent one on demand. The lot is clean and well-lit. Good for a long weekend.”
“DoubleTree Washington Dulles is reliable. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 4 AM to midnight, and the driver helped with my bags. The lot is gated and secure, and the front desk stored my keys without any issues. Fair price for the location.”
“Spark By Hilton Sterling Dulles is a budget-friendly option. The hourly shuttle is a bit infrequent, so time it carefully. The lot itself is paved and secure, and the front desk was friendly. For the price, it is hard to complain.”
“Hyatt House Dulles Airport is a good value. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 6 AM to 11 PM, and the lot is clean. It is not 24/7, so if your return flight lands late, factor in a rideshare. Otherwise, no complaints.”
“DoubleTree by Hilton Dulles Airport - Sterling is a solid choice. The on-demand shuttle was prompt, and the driver was courteous. The lot is well-maintained and feels safe. Worth the few extra dollars over the cheapest lot for the convenience.”
“Comfort Suites is fine for the price, but the on-demand shuttle stops at 9:30 PM. If your return flight lands late, you will need a rideshare. The lot is basic but secure, and the staff were friendly.”
“Crowne Plaza parking is my go-to for early flights out of IAD. The 24/7 shuttle is a lifesaver for 5 AM departures, and the covered deck means my car is not buried in snow when I return. The price is right, and the staff are professional.”
“Hyatt Regency is reliable. The shuttle runs every half hour, and the lot is well-lit. I parked for a long weekend and had no issues. The front desk was professional and efficient. A good option if you want a hotel lot with predictable service.”

On-site parking at IAD is convenient if you are walking straight from Garages 1 or 2 into the terminal. But the garages are priced for short stays, and even the Economy Lot — IAD's designated long-term option at $14/day — costs more than the best off-site hotel lots with a free shuttle. The Terminal Lot and Valet are the most expensive options and rarely make sense for trips longer than a day.
Dulles' official Economy Lot costs $14 per day with a free 24/7 shuttle from Curb 2F. The daily rate at Garages 1 and 2 is $21 per day (walk via tunnel), the Terminal Lot is $32 per day, and Valet is $39 per day. Off-site lots start at $5.99 per day with free shuttles.
The cheapest official option is the Economy Lot at $14 per day. Off-site, Comfort Suites Chantilly offers extended parking from $5.99 per day with an on-demand shuttle (6:15 AM–9:30 PM), making it the lowest-cost option overall.
Yes. Off-site long term parking near IAD starts at $5.99 per day, compared to $14 per day at the Economy Lot, $21 at the Garages, and $32–$39 at the Terminal Lot and Valet. For a 7-day trip, that is a savings of roughly $56 to $231 depending on which on-site option you would otherwise use.
Book 1–2 weeks in advance for the best off-site rates. IAD's official garages and lots can fill during peak periods, and reservations must be made at least 12 hours before entry. Off-site hotel lots accept bookings and popular ones fill up during the December holidays and around major events in Washington, D.C.
No. IAD does not offer free long term parking. The Economy Lot at $14 per day is the cheapest official option. There is a free Cell Phone Lot for staging passenger pickups, but it is not intended for storing a vehicle during a trip.

Shuttle frequency varies by lot. Comfort Suites Chantilly runs on demand from 6:15 AM to 9:30 PM. Hyatt Regency Dulles runs every 30 minutes from 6 AM to 11 PM, with on-demand overnight service. Dulles Airport Parking by Crowne Plaza runs 24/7 every 30 minutes. DoubleTree Washington Dulles runs every 30 minutes from 4 AM to midnight.
Hyatt Regency Dulles is about 5–8 minutes from the terminal, and Dulles Airport Parking by Crowne Plaza is 6 minutes away. DoubleTree Washington Dulles is 5–10 minutes out. Shuttle rides from these lots typically take 5–10 minutes.
For a 7-day trip, an off-site lot with a free shuttle is the best value — expect $5.99–$9.95 per day versus $14–$39 on-site. If you prefer to stay on airport property, the Economy Lot at $14 per day is the cheapest official option, and it includes a free 24/7 shuttle from Curb 2F.
