What Is Express Park Fly at Oakland Airport and How Does It Work?

Express Park Fly is a privately operated, off-airport parking lot serving Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport. It sits at 195 98th Avenue in East Oakland, roughly 1.3 to 1.7 miles from the terminals. You drive to the lot, self-park, then ride a free on-demand shuttle to OAK's Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.

Here's exactly what happens when you arrive:

  1. Drive to 195 98th Avenue and pull into the lot entrance.
  2. Check in with on-site staff and show your reservation confirmation.
  3. Self-park in your assigned space — covered or outdoor, based on your booking.
  4. Take the on-demand shuttle to the airport. The driver drops you at the terminal curb.
  5. On return, collect your bags and call the lot. The shuttle picks you up and brings you back to your car.

The whole process is straightforward. The lot is fenced and gated, with a 24/7 front desk staffed around the clock. Express Park Fly also offers both indoor covered parking and outdoor uncovered spaces, which is a step up from many competing lots near OAK.

How Do I Get from Express Park Fly to OAK Terminals? (Shuttle Guide)

The Express Park Fly shuttle runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on demand. There is no fixed timetable — the shuttle responds to your call. You don't wait for a scheduled departure; you simply contact the lot and the driver comes to you.

Here's how the shuttle works in both directions:

  • Departing: After you park, let the front desk staff know you're ready. They dispatch the shuttle to your location in the lot.
  • Returning: After collecting your bags inside OAK, call the lot. The shuttle picks you up at the terminal curb and brings you back to your car.
  • Hours: The service operates around the clock — early morning departures and late-night arrivals are both covered.
  • Drop-off point: The shuttle serves both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport.

The lot is about 5 minutes from the airport per listing data. Factor in a few minutes of wait time for the shuttle to arrive. Plan to arrive at Express Park Fly at least 30 minutes before you need to be at your gate, especially during busy travel periods. Review TSA security screening guidelines to understand what screening involves so you can budget time accurately at OAK's checkpoints.

Bar chart comparing OAK airport parking costs: Express Park Fly at $6.95/day (~$76 for 7 nights) vs. on-airport lots ranging from $18/day (Economy, ~$126) to $40/day (Premier, ~$280), showing savings of up to $204 by choosing Express Park Fly with its included 24/7 on-demand shuttle.

If you have an early morning flight, the 24/7 on-demand model means you won't be stranded. Unlike OAK's on-airport Economy Lot shuttle — which switches to on-demand overnight and requires calling 510-563-3890 — Express Park Fly's shuttle is on-demand at all hours by design.

Express Park Fly vs. Oakland Airport On-Site Parking: Which Is Cheaper?

Express Park Fly Oakland airport parking is cheaper than every on-airport OAK lot for stays of one day or longer. At $6.95/day, it undercuts even OAK's Economy Lot by $11.05 per day — that's a savings of more than 61%, based on official Port of Oakland published rates versus current Triply rates.

The tradeoff is a short shuttle ride instead of a walk. Here's how the two types compare on the factors that matter most:

  • Price: Express Park Fly at $6.95/day vs. Economy Lot at $18/day — off-site wins by a wide margin
  • Shuttle frequency: Express Park Fly is on-demand; OAK's Economy Lot runs every 15–20 minutes (on-demand overnight)
  • Walk to terminal: Neither option is walkable — both require a shuttle
  • Reservation: Express Park Fly books through Triply; OAK's lots book at book.iflyoak.com with a $1.99 service fee
  • Security: Express Park Fly is fenced and gated with a 24/7 staffed front desk; on-airport lots are managed by the Port of Oakland
  • Covered parking: Available at Express Park Fly; on-airport Economy Lot is open-air

The on-demand shuttle is actually an advantage over the Economy Lot's fixed schedule. You call when you're ready, rather than timing your bag collection around a bus timetable. For travelers on longer trips, the math is clear. For a deeper look at how off-site parking stacks up across all categories, the guide to OAK long term parking rates, lots, and tips walks through the full multi-day savings picture.

How Do I Book Express Park Fly Oakland Airport Parking?

Book Express Park Fly through Triply at triplypro.com/search?airport=OAK. The process takes about two minutes and locks in the $6.95/day rate before the lot fills up.

  1. Go to Triply and search for OAK airport parking.
  2. Enter your arrival and departure dates to see live availability and pricing.
  3. Select Express Park Fly and choose covered or outdoor parking.
  4. Complete your booking — you'll receive a confirmation email with your reservation number.
  5. On arrival at the lot, show your confirmation to on-site staff.

Pre-booking is strongly recommended. Walk-up availability is not guaranteed, and the lot can fill up during peak travel periods. Booking in advance also secures the listed daily rate. Triply's cancellation policy allows modifications if your travel plans change — check your confirmation email for the specific terms. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, contact the lot directly; the 24/7 front desk staffing means someone is always reachable.

Is Express Park Fly Oakland Airport Safe and Secure?

Yes. Express Park Fly is a fenced, gated lot with a 24/7 staffed front desk and on-site security. Access is controlled — you can't enter without checking in through the front staff. This is a step above many open-air lots in the area.

Key security features at Express Park Fly, per listing data:

  • Fenced perimeter: The lot boundary is secured, limiting unauthorized access
  • Gated entry and exit: All vehicles enter and exit through a controlled gate
  • 24/7 front desk: Staff are on-site around the clock, not just during business hours
  • Check-in verification: You must show your reservation at check-in — no unverified vehicles parked
  • Covered parking option: Indoor spaces protect your vehicle from weather and reduce visibility from outside the lot

No parking facility — on-airport or off — can guarantee against all incidents. That said, the combination of gated access, staffed overnight presence, and confirmed check-in makes Express Park Fly one of the more secure off-site options near OAK. For peace of mind on longer trips, the covered indoor spaces are worth selecting when available.

What Airlines and Terminals Does Express Park Fly Serve at OAK?

Express Park Fly serves both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport. The shuttle drops off and picks up at both terminals, so your airline doesn't affect which lot you use.

Per the Port of Oakland, here's which airlines use each terminal:

  • Terminal 1: Alaska Airlines, Delta Connection, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Volaris, Volaris El Salvador, Advanced Air, and some Southwest Airlines flights
  • Terminal 2: Southwest Airlines (primary terminal)

Southwest Airlines is OAK's largest carrier and operates primarily from Terminal 2. If you're flying Southwest — which accounts for a significant share of OAK's traffic — the Terminal 2 shuttle stop is your destination. Check your boarding pass to confirm your terminal before your trip. The OAK Airport Terminal Guide covers terminal layouts, airline assignments, and what to expect at each gate area in full detail.

Regardless of terminal, the shuttle ride from Express Park Fly takes about 5 minutes per listing data. Both terminals are on the same airport loop road, so the difference in travel time between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 drop-offs is minimal.

Tips for Saving Money on Express Park Fly Oakland Airport Parking

Express Park Fly Oakland airport parking already offers OAK's lowest verified daily rate at $6.95/day. These tips help you maximize that value and avoid any avoidable costs.

  • Book early: The $6.95/day rate is available through Triply when you pre-book. Walk-up availability and pricing are not guaranteed. Reserve as soon as your travel dates are confirmed.
  • Choose covered parking: If your trip is longer than a few days, selecting the covered option protects your car from the Bay Area's coastal weather — fog, drizzle, and occasional wind. Check availability when booking.
  • Account for shuttle time: The on-demand shuttle means you control the timing. Call the moment you're ready. Build in at least 30 minutes from lot arrival to terminal curb for stress-free check-in.
  • Enroll in TSA PreCheck: TSA PreCheck speeds up security significantly. Combined with Express Park Fly's on-demand shuttle, it cuts your total pre-flight time down considerably.
  • Check flight status before heading to the lot: Use FlightAware's OAK live flight tracker to confirm your departure isn't delayed before you leave home. If you're delayed, you can time your lot arrival accordingly and avoid sitting at the airport longer than necessary.
  • Compare the three off-site lots: At the same $6.95/day price point, Spring Park Airport Parking on Hegenberger Road is also worth checking when Express Park Fly shows limited availability. Airpark Oakland Parking at $12/day adds a fixed 10-minute shuttle schedule if you prefer that structure.

The Terminal Modernization and Development Project at OAK has completed its environmental review stage as of 2026. No parking closures are identified as of October 2026, but roadway changes are planned long-term. Check iflyoak.com before your trip for any updates affecting lot access or terminal roads.
