BDL Parking Receipt: How to Get or Replace Yours (2026)

Back to BDL Parking Rates 2026: Every Lot, Price & Weekly Deal | Complete BDL Airport Parking Guide

A BDL parking receipt is the printed or digital proof of payment issued when you exit a Bradley International Airport parking lot — showing your entry time, exit time, total charge, and payment method. Most drivers get a paper slip at the exit gate. But if you need a duplicate for expense reimbursement, or you simply drove off before grabbing one, there are a few ways to track it down. On-airport lots at BDL run rates from $7/day for Economy Lot 4 up to $30/day for the Garage (per published Connecticut Airport Authority rates, verified October 2026), so the dollar amount on your receipt can matter for budgets and reimbursements alike.

Before you call the parking office, compare BDL off-airport lots starting at $5.49/day — browse BDL parking options on Triply and keep a digital confirmation in your email from the moment you book.

• Paper receipt at exit: Standard on-airport lots print a receipt at the exit lane kiosk when you pay.
• Lost receipt: Call BDL Parking (SP Plus) at (860) 627-3555, available 24/7/365, to request a duplicate.
• sPARK Rewards members may access transaction history through their account at parkbradleyairport.com/spark-rewards.
• Connecticut parking tax: Expect a 6.35% sales tax applied to parking fees — this appears as a separate line on detailed receipts.
• Off-airport lots booked through Triply send a booking confirmation by email — that document serves as your receipt and expense record.
• Rates at a glance: Economy Lot 4 ($7/day), Economy Lot 3 ($8/day), Park & Walk Lot 2 ($10/day), Express Lot 1 ($12/day), Garage ($30/day).

What Is a BDL Parking Receipt and What Information Does It Include?

A BDL parking receipt is the official record of your parking transaction at Bradley International Airport. It proves you paid, shows how long you parked, and breaks down any applicable taxes.

Based on receipt samples from SP Plus-managed airport lots and the BDL parking FAQ, a standard on-airport receipt typically includes:

• Lot name or zone (e.g., Economy Lot 4, Express Lot 1, Garage)
• Entry date and time
• Exit date and time
• Total duration (hours and minutes parked)
• Base parking fee before tax
• Connecticut sales tax at 6.35%, shown as a separate line item
• Total amount charged
• Payment method (credit/debit card type, last four digits)
• Transaction or contract number — the key reference if you need a duplicate
• Lane or gate identifier

The 6.35% figure is Connecticut's general sales tax rate, which applies to parking services statewide. On a $48/week Economy Lot 3 stay, that adds roughly $3.05 in tax — small but worth noting for accurate expense reports. The transaction or contract number is the single most useful piece of information when calling to request a reprint. If you have even a partial number from your credit card statement, the parking team can usually locate the record.

How Do You Look Up or Retrieve Your BDL Parking Receipt Online?

Online receipt retrieval for BDL on-airport parking goes through the SP Plus management system. The most direct method is checking your email first, then escalating to phone or in-person if needed.

Step-by-Step: Retrieving Your BDL Parking Receipt

1. Check your email inbox. If you paid by credit card at an automated kiosk, some SP Plus locations send a digital receipt to the email on file. Search for "Bradley," "SP Plus," or "parkbradleyairport."
2. Log into your sPARK Rewards account. If you used a sPARK pass, your transaction history is stored in your account at parkbradleyairport.com/spark-rewards. Navigate to your parking history or transaction log.
3. Check your credit card statement. Note the transaction date, amount, and any reference number visible in your statement detail. You will need this when calling.
4. Call BDL Parking directly. SP Plus manages all on-airport lots. Call (860) 627-3555, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have your entry date, exit date, and payment method ready.
5. Visit the parking office in person. If you are still at the airport, head to the BDL Parking office on-site. Staff can print a duplicate on the spot.

Online receipt portals like myparkingreceipts.com exist for some SP Plus locations, but BDL-specific support through that portal is not confirmed. The most reliable path remains a direct call to (860) 627-3555. Response times are typically fast because parking staff are on-site around the clock.

How Do You Request a Duplicate BDL Parking Receipt If You Lost It?

Lost receipts happen. If you drove through the exit gate without taking your slip, or you threw it away before realizing you needed it, SP Plus can usually issue a duplicate — as long as you can verify the transaction.

Here is what to have ready before you call or email:

• The approximate entry and exit dates and times
• The lot you parked in (Economy Lot 3, Economy Lot 4, Express Lot 1, Park & Walk Lot 2, or the Garage)
• The last four digits of the credit card you used to pay
• The total amount charged (check your bank statement)
• Your vehicle make, model, and license plate if possible

Call (860) 627-3555 and explain that you need a duplicate receipt for a past transaction. SP Plus staff can search their system using the information above. There is no published fee for duplicate receipt requests at BDL, though the window for record availability is not formally stated — the sooner you ask, the better. For very old transactions (more than a few months), records may be harder to retrieve.

If you booked an off-airport lot through Triply, your situation is simpler. Your booking confirmation email is your receipt. You can also log into your Triply account to download the confirmation at any time.

How Much Does BDL Airport Parking Cost and What Taxes Appear on Your Receipt?

BDL on-airport parking rates are set by the Connecticut Airport Authority and managed by SP Plus. All published daily rates already include taxes, but a detailed receipt will show the pre-tax base and the 6.35% Connecticut sales tax as a separate line.

Here are the current on-airport daily and weekly rates (verified October 2026, per parkbradleyairport.com):

On a 7-night stay in Economy Lot 4 at $42/week, the base before the 6.35% Connecticut tax would be around $39.50, with roughly $2.50 in tax added — though the published $42 weekly rate is the all-in amount you pay. For expense reports, ask SP Plus at checkout to confirm whether the stated rate is tax-inclusive. For a deeper comparison of every lot and weekly deal, see the BDL parking rates guide covering every lot and price.

Can BDL sPARK Rewards Members Access Receipts Through Their Account?

sPARK Rewards is Bradley Airport's loyalty program for frequent parkers, operated through SP Plus. Members use automated passes that charge a card on file — which means receipt access works differently than standard cash-out transactions.

Here is what sPARK Rewards members should know about receipts:

• Transactions are logged to your account and tied to the card on file.
• Log into your account at parkbradleyairport.com/spark-rewards and look for a transaction history or billing section.
• If a receipt does not appear in your account, call (860) 627-3555 — SP Plus staff can pull the record using your member ID.
• Your card statement will show the SP Plus charge, which is useful as a backup record if the portal does not show full detail.

One known gap: some SP Plus loyalty systems do not automatically email receipts for automated pass transactions. If you need a formatted receipt for a business expense claim, call the parking office and specifically ask for a printed duplicate with the lot name, entry/exit times, and tax breakdown. Staff are equipped to produce this.

How to Use Your BDL Parking Receipt for Business Expense Reimbursement

A BDL parking receipt is a valid business expense document — provided it shows the key fields your employer or accountant requires. Most expense systems need the vendor name, date, total amount, and tax breakdown.

Here is how to make sure your receipt is reimbursement-ready:

1. Confirm the lot name appears clearly. "Economy Lot 4 — Bradley International Airport" or similar language should be on the slip. If it just says "SP Plus," ask for a reprint with the full lot identifier.
2. Check that entry and exit dates are printed. Multi-day stays need both dates to justify the total charge.
3. Verify the tax line. The 6.35% Connecticut sales tax should appear separately. If it does not, note that the published daily rates are all-inclusive and your receipt reflects the total.
4. Get a digital copy. Ask the exit kiosk or the parking office to email you the receipt. A PDF is far easier to attach to an expense report than a crumpled paper slip.
5. Use your sPARK Rewards history as a backup if the paper receipt is lost. Print a PDF of your account transaction and attach it alongside a brief note explaining the format.
6. For off-airport lots booked on Triply, your booking confirmation email is your receipt. It lists the lot name, dates, rate, and total paid — everything most expense systems require.

Business travelers flying from BDL regularly use the Economy Lot 4 ($7/day) or Economy Lot 3 ($8/day) for long trips. A week in Economy Lot 3 runs $48 — straightforward to document. If your company requires itemized tax, call SP Plus at (860) 627-3555 to request a detailed receipt before you submit the claim.

BDL On-Airport vs. Off-Airport Parking: Which Providers Issue Digital Receipts?

The type of receipt you receive — and how easily you can retrieve it later — depends partly on where you park. On-airport and off-airport lots handle receipts differently.

On-Airport Lots (SP Plus / Park Bradley Airport)

• Paper receipt printed at the exit gate kiosk — standard for all pay-on-exit transactions.
• Digital receipt by email is available in some cases but not guaranteed — ask at the kiosk or call (860) 627-3555.
• sPARK Rewards members can access transaction history through their online account.
• Duplicate requests handled by phone or in-person, 24/7.

Off-Airport Lots Booked Through Triply

• Econo Lodge Inn & Suites ($5.49/day): Booking confirmation sent by Triply at the time of reservation. Front desk staff handle check-in and valet parking.
• Motel 6 Windsor Locks ($5.95/day): Triply confirmation email is your receipt. Register your vehicle at the front desk on arrival.
• Days Inn Windsor Locks Bradley ($7.95/day): Triply confirmation email serves as your expense document. Register at the front desk; shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 3:25 AM.

Off-airport lots booked through Triply have a clear advantage for expense documentation: your confirmation email arrives instantly and includes all the fields a typical expense form needs. You never have to chase a paper receipt at 5 AM. For more on how these hotel lots compare to on-airport options — including shuttle times and the early-morning pickup rules — see the BDL park and fly hotels guide with rates and shuttle times.

The ongoing Terminal A improvement program — a more than $250 million project running through 2030 — includes expanded parking in Economy Lot 3 and new exit lane configurations. That means exit lane layouts and kiosk locations may shift during construction. According to the Connecticut Airport Authority's planning updates, parking can be at or near capacity at busy times — so arriving with your lot already confirmed is smart planning. If you are driving to BDL during peak travel periods, check real-time traffic on Waze before you leave home to avoid construction-related delays on Route 75 and Route 20.

For a full picture of every BDL lot location, shuttle service, and what to do when lots fill up, the BDL parking map and lot guide covers every zone in detail.
