“Motel 6 Rochester Airport is the best value near ROC. Under four dollars a day with a 24/7 shuttle is unbeatable. The lot is simple but secure, and the driver was friendly. Saved over $50 versus the Garage for a week.”
“Best Western Rochester Airport is my go-to for ROC. The hotel is literally across the street from the terminal, and the 24/7 shuttle had me at the curb in five minutes. The front desk stored my keys, and the lot felt secure. Worth the extra few dollars over Motel 6 for the location.”
“Rodeway Inn is a budget option, and the shuttle runs on demand. I waited about 20 minutes on pickup, but the driver was courteous and the lot felt safe. For the price, it is hard to complain.”
“Fairfield Inn Rochester Airport is a solid choice if you want a hotel lot with a shuttle. The lot is clean and well-lit, and the driver helped with my bags. Rates are higher than Motel 6, but the service is reliable.”
“Motel 6 exceeded my expectations. For $3.49 a day, I expected a gravel lot, but it was paved and secure. The shuttle left within 10 minutes of my call, and the return pickup was just as fast. I will book it again.”
“Rodeway Inn is fine for the price, but do not expect a modern facility. The lot is a bit older, and the shuttle is on demand. My car was safe, and the price was the lowest I found. Good for a short trip.”
“Best Western is my usual for ROC. The location cannot be beat — you can walk to the terminal if you want, but the shuttle is faster. The lot is gated, and the staff are always helpful. Worth the few extra dollars.”
“Fairfield Inn is a good option if you want a hotel lot. The shuttle was on time, and the driver knew exactly where to drop. The lot is well-maintained, but the price is higher than the budget lots. Convenience matters.”
“Motel 6 is my go-to for early flights out of ROC. The 24/7 shuttle is a lifesaver for 5 AM departures, and the lot is gated. The price is unbeatable, and the staff are courteous.”
“Rodeway Inn is reliable for a budget lot. The shuttle runs on demand, and the driver was helpful. I parked for a long weekend and had no issues. The front desk was professional and efficient.”

On-site parking at ROC is convenient if you are walking straight from the Garage into the terminal. But the Garage is priced for short stays, and even the Economy Shuttle Lot — ROC's designated long-term option at $8/day — costs more than double the cheapest off-site lot with a shuttle. The Weekly Lot at $72 is a decent official deal for exactly seven days, but off-site lots still undercut it and include a free shuttle.
Rochester's official Economy Shuttle Lot (Red Lot) costs $8 per day with a free shuttle every 15 minutes. The Garage (Orange Lot) is $16 per day on levels 1–2 and $12 per day on the roof. The Weekly Lot (Green) is $12 per day or $72 per week. Hourly parking (Purple) maxes at $24 per day, and Valet is $20 plus $16 per day. Off-site lots start at $3.49 per day with free shuttles.
