Cheapest Parking at LAX: How to Compare

Use LAX's official rates as a baseline, then compare off-airport lots on the total price.

Last checked: November 1, 2026

Start with the official baseline

The lowest on-airport daily rate on flylax.com is $20 per 24 hours at LAX Budget Parking (5455 W. 111th St), an uncovered lot with a free 24-hour shuttle every 20–25 minutes. LAX Economy Parking, a garage at 6100 W. 94th St, is $35 per 24 hours with a free 24-hour shuttle. Both can be reserved, and flylax.com says reservations can save up to 60% off drive-up rates. That gives you a benchmark: any off-airport quote should beat it on the total at checkout.

Closer options cost more: CTA General Parking is $60, Premium $70 and Valet $75 per 24 hours. If you live in the San Fernando Valley, the Van Nuys FlyAway lot is $6 per day for FlyAway bus riders (the bus fare is separate).
