Garages, the Economy Lot, private lots with shuttles, and tips for parking at Philadelphia International Airport.

Last checked: November 1, 2026

On-airport vs. off-airport at PHL

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has its own garages and an Economy Lot, run by the Philadelphia Parking Authority according to phl.org. Private companies also run lots nearby, mostly along Essington Ave, Industrial Hwy and Governor Printz Blvd, with shuttles to the terminals. This hub sums up both and links to our deeper guides.

Heads-up: In October 2026 phl.org said Garage C was closed for upgrades. Check phl.org/parking before you go.

Shuttle tips

Ask about hours

Some shuttles run on a schedule by day and on call overnight. Confirm with your lot, especially for very early flights.

Know your terminal

PHL's terminals are A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E and F. Check your airline on phl.org and tell the driver.

Save the lot's number

On the way back, many lots ask you to call or use their app from baggage claim for a pickup.
