Compare PHL Parking & SavePHL operates several official parking facilities across its terminals. The Economy Lot is the designated long-term option — it is the cheapest, with a free 24/7 shuttle to all terminals. The terminal garages are connected by pedestrian bridges and priced for shorter stays, while Short-Term ground level and Valet are the premium options. Note that PHL raised rates on May 1, 2026 — Economy went from $15 to $18/day, and garages from $28 to $32/day.
All rates below come from Philadelphia's official parking page at phl.org, rechecked October 2026. The Economy Lot and Valet accept prebookings through Park PHL; the garages do not.

All of our vetted PHL parking partners, sorted alphabetically. Every rate below is lower than PHL's Economy Lot. The lot with the lowest price carries a "Cheapest" badge — note that the absolute cheapest lots (Motel 6 and Red Carpet Inn) do not run a shuttle. Check each card for shuttle availability.
“PHL Park & Ride is the best value valet near PHL. At $6.95 a day, the shuttle runs every 30 minutes and the front desk is staffed 24/7. Saved over $80 versus the Economy Lot for a week.”
“MS Parking Philly is my go-to for PHL. The 24/7 shuttle runs every 10–15 minutes, and the lot is gated and monitored. The 2-day minimum is fair, and check-in was quick.”
“ARB Parking is the closest off-site lot to PHL — just over a mile. The shuttle runs every 10 minutes, and the lot is gated and well-lit. Check-in is fast: show the barcode, get your space, and the shuttle is ready.”
“Quality Inn is a solid budget option. The 30-minute shuttle worked for my schedule, and the front desk was helpful. Park between the hotel and Denny's — look for the big yellow X on the map.”
“Regal Philly Parking is the closest off-site lot — just half a mile from the airport. The shuttle runs every 10–15 minutes, 365 days a year, and the lot is gated and monitored. For a week-long trip, the savings versus the garage are massive.”
“Motel 6 is the cheapest option at $6.00 a day, but there is no shuttle. I used Uber both ways, which added about $30 round trip. Still cheaper than Economy for a long trip, but less convenient.”
“Park & Jet is my usual for early flights out of PHL. The 24/7 on-demand shuttle is a lifesaver, and the lot is gated with a 24/7 front desk. The 15-minute arrival window is important — plan ahead.”
“Red Carpet Inn is a budget workhorse. $6.00 a day, close to the airport, and the front desk is staffed 24/7. No shuttle, so factor in a rideshare. The GPS warning about the WaWa is real — keep going another 10 blocks.”
“PHL Park & Ride was a pleasant surprise. The Holiday Inn front desk handled check-in, and the dashboard permit made everything straightforward. The shuttle was on time, and the lot felt secure.”
“MS Parking is reliable. The 10–15 minute shuttle is one of the most frequent at PHL, and the staff were helpful. The 2-day minimum means it is not for quick weekend trips, but for longer stays it is a great value.”

On-site parking at PHL is convenient if you are walking straight from a terminal garage into the airport. But the garages are priced for short stays, and even the Economy Lot — PHL's designated long-term option at $18/day — costs more than double the best off-site rates. After the May 2026 price increase, the gap has widened: a 7-day trip in the Economy Lot is $126, versus $42–$98 at an off-site lot with a free shuttle.
Philadelphia International's official Economy Lot costs $18 per day flat, with a free 24/7 shuttle to all terminals. The terminal garages cost $32 per day, Short-Term ground level is $54 per day, and Valet is $60 per day booked online ($70 drive-up). Off-site lots start at $6.00 per day, with the cheapest shuttle lot at Regal Philly Parking for $8.45 per day.

Book 1–2 weeks in advance for the best off-site rates.

Off-site lots price dynamically and popular valet lots sell out around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
No. PHL does not offer free long term parking. The cheapest official option is the Economy Lot at $18 per day. There is a free Cell Phone Lot for staging passenger pickups, but it is not intended for storing a vehicle during a trip.
Yes. PHL's official Economy Lot and Valet accept prebookings through Park PHL (parking.phl.org), with meaningful savings on Valet ($60 online vs $70 drive-up).

Shuttle frequency varies by lot. ARB Parking and Regal Philly run every 10–15 minutes. MS Parking runs every 10–15 minutes. PHL Park & Ride runs every 30 minutes. Quality Inn runs every 30 minutes. Park & Jet runs 24/7 on demand. Motel 6 and Red Carpet Inn have no shuttle — you would need a rideshare.
Regal Philly Parking is the closest at about 0.5 miles from the terminals. ARB Parking is 1.3 miles away, Motel 6 and Red Carpet Inn are 1.9 miles out, and MS Parking is 2.3 miles. Shuttle rides from these lots typically take 5–10 minutes.
For a 7-day trip, an off-site lot with a 24/7 shuttle is the best value — expect $6.95–$13.95 per day at Regal, PHL Park & Ride, MS Parking, ARB, or Park & Jet, versus $18–$32 on-site. If you do not mind a rideshare, Motel 6 or Red Carpet Inn at $6.00 per day save the most on the nightly rate. On airport property, the Economy Lot at $18 per day is the cheapest official option.
