Cheapest Parking at PHL: How to Compare

Use PHL'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

PHL's Economy Lot is listed on phl.org at $18.00 per 24 hours, including all taxes and fees (October 2026), with a free 24-hour shuttle. Because that figure already includes taxes and fees, it's a handy benchmark: any quote you see elsewhere should beat it on the total at checkout.

The garage upper levels are listed at up to $32 per 24 hours, and Short-Term (ground level) up to $54 per 24 hours with no overnight parking.

Tips to pay less

  • Compare the checkout total, not the headline daily rate
  • Check two or three booking sites plus the lot's own site
  • Book early for holidays and school breaks
  • Read the cancellation and overstay rules
  • For long trips, check whether a weekly rate exists
  • If a ride is free, compare parking with a drop-off
