BWI Airport Parking Pass: 2026 Rates, Options & How to Save

A BWI airport parking pass is any pre-paid or reservation-based arrangement that gives travelers a parking spot at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, at rates ranging from about $6/day off-site to $16/day in the on-airport Daily Garage. BWI's own website does not sell a monthly pass to general travelers, so the practical version of a pass is a reservation at an off-site lot. As of 2026, Triply sells five off-site lots near BWI, and the right choice depends on your trip length, your flight times and your budget. Off-site rates in this guide are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.

• On-airport rates range from $11/day (Long-Term Lots) to $30/day max (Hourly Garage, $6 per hour), per bwiairport.com (checked October 2026).
• Off-site parking on Triply runs about $6 to $8/day at five lots: Doubletree Baltimore, Country Inn & Suites, The Westin, Sheraton Hotel and Clarion Hotel BWI North.
• Every one of those lots costs less per day than the $11/day Long-Term Lots, about 24% to 44% less.
• On-airport shuttles run around the clock, about every 10-15 minutes. Off-site shuttles run every 15 or 30 minutes depending on the lot, and only Doubletree Baltimore, The Westin and Sheraton Hotel run 24 hours.
• The Westin and Sheraton Hotel state a free shuttle with online booking; Country Inn & Suites and Clarion Hotel BWI North have hours with no shuttle at all.
• Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

What Is a BWI Airport Parking Pass and How Does It Work?

A BWI airport parking pass is a pre-paid or reservation-based parking credential that reserves your spot before you arrive. At BWI, this takes a few different forms depending on where you park.

On-airport, the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA), a unit of the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), manages all official lots. There is no traditional monthly subscription pass sold directly through the airport's website for general travelers. For most travelers, the closest equivalent is a pre-booked reservation at an off-site lot: you pay in advance, receive a confirmation by email, and check in when you arrive.

Off-site lots work differently. On Triply you book a specific lot online ahead of time and get a confirmation by email. On arrival, Doubletree Baltimore, Country Inn & Suites, Sheraton Hotel and Clarion Hotel BWI North ask you to check in or register at the hotel front desk, and a shuttle then takes you to the terminal.

All five off-site lots Triply sells at BWI are at hotels, but Triply sells parking only, not rooms or park-sleep-fly packages. The Westin and Sheraton Hotel state that no hotel stay is needed to park. For more on this angle, see our guide to BWI airport parking at hotels.

How Much Does a BWI Airport Parking Pass Cost in 2026?

BWI's daily on-airport rates match the increase the Maryland Aviation Administration made on July 1, 2024, and the Hourly, Daily, Express and Long-Term figures below were checked on bwiairport.com in October 2026. The Rail Station Garage rate is carried over from earlier figures. Here is the breakdown across the on-airport options and the five off-site lots Triply sells.

The savings add up. A week at Doubletree Baltimore is about $43 (about $6/day), against $77 for seven days in the on-airport Long-Term Lot at $11/day. That is about $34 less, or 44% less. Against the Daily Garage at $16/day ($112 a week), the same week saves about $69, or 62%. The real checkout for 7 nights at Doubletree is $49.27 (8 billed days, no tax added), still below a week in Long-Term. Even the priciest of the five, Clarion Hotel BWI North, is about $58 for the week.

Which BWI Parking Lots Offer the Best Value for Long-Term Stays?

For trips longer than two or three days, every off-site lot Triply sells at BWI costs less per day than the on-airport Long-Term Lots. The trade-off is a shuttle ride, and shuttle hours vary by lot.

Doubletree Baltimore (890 Elkridge Landing Rd) is the lowest-priced lot Triply sells at BWI, about $6/day, listed 2.2 miles from the airport. Its shuttle runs 24 hours a day: every 15 minutes from 5 AM to midnight and every 30 minutes overnight. Register your car at the front desk for a dashboard tag. Parking guests can use the hotel's Wi-Fi, restrooms and waiting lounge, and the hotel is monitored with staff on site 24 hours. Country Inn & Suites (1717 W Nursery Rd) is about $7/day and the closest of the five at 1.7 miles, but its shuttle has gaps: about every 30 minutes from 4:30 AM to noon and 4 PM to midnight, with none from noon to 4 PM or midnight to 4:30 AM. Park behind the hotel, not in the Chili's lot, where cars may be towed.

The Westin (1110 Old Elkridge Landing Rd) is about $7/day and Sheraton Hotel (1100 Old Elkridge Landing Rd), next door, is about $8/day. Both are listed 2.5 miles from the airport, both state a free shuttle with online booking, and both run it 24 hours, every 30 minutes, with return pickups on demand (Westin 443-577-2300, Sheraton (443) 577-2100). Both also take full-size vans, pickups and large SUVs at no extra cost, and neither needs a hotel stay. Clarion Hotel BWI North (6921 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd) is about $8/day, listed 3 miles out, the farthest of the five. Its airport shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 4 AM to 10 AM and 5 PM to 11 PM only, so plan your flight around it.

If you want the on-airport Long-Term Lot experience, BWI's official Long-Term Parking (Lots A and B) runs $11/day per the airport's published rates. Shuttles from the Long-Term Lots run around the clock, about every 10-15 minutes. All five Triply lots above cost less per day.

On-Site vs. Off-Site BWI Parking: Which Should You Choose?

On-site parking is more convenient but costs more. Off-site parking saves money but adds a short shuttle ride. Here is how they compare across the key factors.

• Price: Off-site lots on Triply run about $6 to $8/day. On-airport Long-Term is $11/day. Daily Garage is $16/day.
• Shuttle time: On-airport shuttles run around the clock, about every 10-15 minutes. Off-site, Doubletree Baltimore runs every 15 minutes (5 AM to midnight), and The Westin and Sheraton Hotel run every 30 minutes, 24 hours. Country Inn & Suites and Clarion Hotel BWI North run about every 30 minutes but have hours with no shuttle.
• Covered parking: On-airport, the Hourly and Daily Garages are covered structures. None of the five off-site lots on Triply lists covered parking.
• Accessibility: Accessible parking is available in all on-airport garages and lots. The closest accessible spaces are in the Hourly and Daily Garages, per official BWI data. Sheraton Hotel lists accessible on-site parking.
• Booking flexibility: Triply bookings have free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• Staffing: All five off-site lots list a 24/7 front desk. On-airport garages are managed by SP+ with 24/7 operations.

For most trips of three days or longer, off-site parking with a pre-booked pass is the better value. For quick one-day trips or pickups, the on-airport Hourly Garage — capped at $30/day — is the fastest option since it connects directly to the terminal without a shuttle.

How Do You Reserve a BWI Airport Parking Pass in Advance?

Reserving ahead holds your space at the rate you booked, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

1. Choose your lot: Compare the five off-site lots using the table above (rate, distance and shuttle hours). On-airport parking is paid to the airport and is not booked on Triply.
2. Book online: Use Triply's BWI parking search, enter your dates and pick your lot.
3. Get your confirmation: You will receive a booking confirmation by email. Keep it handy: Country Inn & Suites asks you to present it at the front desk.
4. Arrive and check in: At Doubletree Baltimore, register your car at the front desk for a dashboard tag. At Country Inn & Suites, park behind the hotel and register at the front desk. At Sheraton Hotel, check in at the front desk. At Clarion Hotel BWI North, check in at the front desk before parking.
5. Catch the shuttle and plan your return: Doubletree runs on a set 24-hour schedule. On return, call The Westin (443-577-2300), Sheraton Hotel ((443) 577-2100) or Clarion (410-789-9100) once you have your bags; at Country Inn & Suites, call the hotel from airport pickup zone 7, 48 or 60.

Before you drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — especially if you are traveling via Interstate 195 (the primary airport access road) or MD Route 170 (Aviation Boulevard) during rush hour. Heavy traffic on I-95 or the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (MD-295) can add 20-30 minutes to your drive.

Are There Corporate or Monthly BWI Airport Parking Pass Programs?

BWI's on-airport operator does not currently advertise a public monthly pass program for individual travelers. However, corporate accounts and high-frequency travelers have options worth exploring.

The off-site lots Triply sells at BWI are booked by the trip, with a daily rate for each stay, not as a monthly pass or loyalty membership. For frequent travelers, the simplest way to keep costs down is to book the lowest-priced lot that fits your flight times: Doubletree Baltimore is about $6/day, and about $7 to $8/day for the other four.

If you fly out early or late often, check shuttle hours before you pick a lot. Doubletree Baltimore, The Westin and Sheraton Hotel run 24 hours. Country Inn & Suites has no shuttle from noon to 4 PM or midnight to 4:30 AM, and Clarion Hotel BWI North has none from 10 AM to 5 PM or 11 PM to 4 AM.

For companies with employees who fly regularly out of BWI, it is worth contacting SP+ — the on-airport parking operator — directly to ask about corporate account pricing. Volume agreements are sometimes available for businesses with consistent monthly parking needs, though these arrangements are negotiated off the public rate card.

If you have TSA PreCheck, that won't directly discount your parking — but it does change how early you need to arrive. Shorter security lines mean less buffer time, which can shift whether you choose the Hourly Garage (premium, fastest walk) versus a cheaper lot with a shuttle. Learn more about TSA PreCheck enrollment if you fly frequently from BWI.

What Shuttle and Transportation Options Are Available from BWI Parking Lots?

Every parking option at BWI except the Hourly Garage uses a shuttle to the terminal, but hours and cost differ by lot.

On-airport, a shuttle connects the terminal to the Long-Term Lots, Express Parking, Daily Garage, and BWI Rail Station (MARC/Amtrak). Shuttles from the Daily, Express and Long-Term lots run around the clock, about every 10-15 minutes, and the Express Parking shuttle is free. The Hourly Garage connects directly to the terminal by walkway, so no shuttle is needed.

Off-site, each of the five lots Triply sells runs its own shuttle. Doubletree Baltimore runs 24 hours (every 15 minutes 5 AM to midnight, every 30 minutes overnight). The Westin and Sheraton Hotel run free shuttles 24 hours, every 30 minutes, with pickups on demand. Country Inn & Suites runs about every 30 minutes from 4:30 AM to noon and 4 PM to midnight, with none from noon to 4 PM or midnight to 4:30 AM; on return, call the hotel from airport zone 7, 48 or 60. Clarion Hotel BWI North runs every 30 minutes from 4 AM to 10 AM and 5 PM to 11 PM only; call (410) 789-9100 and wait on the 2nd level at door 14 near Spirit Airlines.

BWI also connects to regional transit. The MARC Penn Line commuter rail runs from BWI Rail Station to Washington D.C. in about 45 minutes for $8. The MTA Light Rail reaches downtown Baltimore in roughly 30 minutes for $2. A free 24/7 shuttle connects the terminal to the rail station. For travelers parking at the BWI Rail Station Garage ($12/day), this combination of rail and parking can be a smart option.

BWI Airport Parking Tips to Save Money on Your Next Trip

A few smart moves can cut your BWI parking costs significantly — without sacrificing convenience.

• Book ahead. Pre-booking holds your space at the rate you booked, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• Choose off-site for trips over 2 days. Off-site lots on Triply cost about $6 to $8/day, 24% to 44% less per day than the $11/day on-airport Long-Term Lot. A week at Doubletree Baltimore is about $43 versus $77 in Long-Term.
• Use the Long-Term Lot for budget on-airport parking. At $11/day, it is BWI's cheapest official option, 31% less than the Daily Garage at $16/day.
• Match the shuttle to your flight. Doubletree Baltimore, The Westin and Sheraton Hotel run 24 hours. Country Inn & Suites and Clarion Hotel BWI North have hours with no shuttle, so check the table before you book.
• Consider the Rail Station Garage for hybrid trips. At $12/day, you park once and can take MARC to D.C. or Light Rail to Baltimore, with no rideshare needed.
• Compare before you book. Each of the five Triply lots has its own price, distance and shuttle schedule, so the cheapest lot is not always the best fit for your flight.
• Avoid the Hourly Garage for stays over 2 hours. At $6/hour with a $30/day cap, it costs more than the $16 Daily Garage from the third hour. It is designed for short pickups and drop-offs, not overnight parking.

The $520 million Concourse A/B Connector — the largest capital project in BWI history — opened on January 9, 2026. Parking technology upgrades including smart guidance systems and enhanced payment options are also being rolled out airport-wide. These improvements make navigating BWI's lots faster and easier than in prior years.

Finding the right BWI airport parking pass comes down to your trip length, your budget, and how fast you want to reach the terminal. Off-site lots on Triply offer the lowest daily rates, about $6 to $8/day. On-airport options offer the most direct access. Compare off-site BWI parking and reserve your spot on Triply. Rates start from about $6/day, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Compare BWI parking rates. The off-site lots Triply sells near Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport cost about 48% to 62% less per day than the $16/day Daily Garage.
