Burbank Airport Parking Southwest: Southwest Parking Burbank, About $21/Day vs Lot G (2026)

Southwest Parking Burbank, a self-park lot at 4500 Empire Avenue, came to $147.22 for a sample 7-day stay on Triply as of October 2026, about $21/day including taxes and fees. That is about $21 less than the airport's cheapest lot, Lot G, at $24/day (counting 7 Lot G daily maximums), but this lot runs no shuttle, so call the lot at 818-565-3440 to confirm how to reach the terminal before you book.

Here is how the lot works, how it compares with the airport's own parking, and what to check now that BUR has a new terminal. For all the official options, see our Burbank airport parking guide.

Getting From the Lot to the New Terminal

Confirm the route with the lot before you book: it has no shuttle, and its listing's directions were written for the old terminal.

BUR opened its new terminal on 13 October 2026. On the airport's official parking map, the new terminal and garage are on the north side of the airport, while Empire Avenue, where this lot sits, runs along the south side next to the airport's long-term Lots F and G, which the airport serves by shuttle. The lot's own directions were written for the old terminal. Call 818-565-3440 and ask how its customers reach the new terminal today. If you'd rather have a shuttle, Lot G with the airport shuttle is the closest alternative.

How Parking Works at Southwest Parking

Drive to the parking booth, take a ticket stub from the attendant at the gate and park in any open space.

Most of the total is paid at the lot ($120.60 of the $147.22 in our sample), with the rest at booking. Bookings must be at least 2 days. If your plans change, cancelling up to the day of arrival gets a 100% refund.

Southwest Parking vs the Airport's Own Lots

For the sample week, Southwest Parking cost less than every official option, but every official lot either has a shuttle or is a walk from the terminal.

Airport totals use 7 daily maximums at the posted rates, which include the City of Burbank parking tax; BUR doesn't publish how it bills a partial final day. If the airport billed this stay as 6 days and 4 hours, Lot G would be $167, still about $20 more. What Lot G gives you for the extra money is the airport shuttle. See BUR long-term Lots F and G for the shuttle stop, and Burbank airport parking prices by the hour and day for short stays.

Parking for Southwest Airlines at Burbank

The lot's name has nothing to do with the airline: Southwest Airlines flies from the same single terminal as every other BUR carrier, so any lot works.

BUR has one terminal with 14 gates for Alaska, Allegiant, American, Breeze, Delta, jetBlue, Southwest and United, per the airport's BUR FAQ. If you want to drive up to the terminal and hand over the keys, BUR valet at the Terminal Garage is $59/day.

Before You Book: What to Check

Three quick checks make sure this lot fits your trip.

• The route to the terminal: call 818-565-3440 and ask how customers reach the new terminal and how long it takes, with luggage.
• Trip length: bookings are for at least 2 days. For a same-day trip, the Terminal Garage at $9 for the first hour is the simpler choice.
• Payment at the lot: most of the total is collected when you arrive, so bring the card you plan to pay with.

If any of these don't work for you, Lot G at $24/day with the airport shuttle costs about $3 a day more and includes the airport shuttle.
