Fees are $3 for the first half hour; $5 for 30 minutes to one hour; and so on with every half-hour increment costing an additional $2 up to a maximum of $38 for 24 hours.

Garage Parking

Parking garages for short-term parking are also available at PHL to the west of each terminal. Fees are similar to that of short-term lots: $3 for the first half hour; $5 up to the first hour; and an extra $2 for every half hour after that. The daily rate is $17.

Long Term Parking

For extended parking, there are several economy lots available. These are located past Terminal F. Free shuttle buses are available 24 hours a day to transport passengers between the economy lot and the terminals. Daily fees are $9.

Larger vehicles, such as wheelchair-equipped vans, that are too tall to park in the garages can park in the economy lot. Drivers must be able to show proper identification such as disabled license plates and/or appropriate placard.
