Los Angeles International Airport - LAX Parking

For those picking up passengers, a Cell Phone Waiting Lot is available. Drivers can park for free while waiting for passengers to arrival. Once a passenger has cleared security and baggage, they simply call the driver and arrange for that car to meet them outside of the proper terminal. In the Cell Phone Waiting Lot, drivers must remain in their car. Unattended cars will be towed.

Long Term Parking

All of the airport parking garages can handle long term parking needs. Parking garages closest to the terminals cost $30 a day. These parking garages are most convenient and require a credit or debit card to be swiped in advance. The main terminal parking garages do have height limits, so drivers should be aware of this in advance. Motorcycles can park for free in any of the garages providing they do not park in a space for cars and do not park in such a way that they block traffic.

Discount Airport Parking

Lot B and Lot C is farthest from the airport, but the rates are the lowest. In Lot B, the first two hours are free and then after that it is $1 for each additional hour. A maximum rate of $8 per day is charged. Lot C is a little higher with a maximum fee of $10 per day. Lot C allows the first two hours to be free and then it is $1 an hour past that. This is a great savings in comparison with the main garages that charge $3 for the first hour and then $2 per half hour past that.

There are handicapped parking spaces in each parking garage, however certain garages have height restrictions. Parking areas for Terminal 1, Terminal 2's parking garage 2A, Terminal 3, Terminal 4, Terminal 6, and Terminal 7 have a height limit of 8' 2".
