Fort Lauderdale Airport Long Term Parking Map 2026

Back to Fort Lauderdale International Airport Long-Term Parking | Complete FLL Airport Parking Guide

The Fort Lauderdale airport long term parking map is a layout of three garages — Hibiscus, Palm, and Cypress — spread across Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), each serving different terminals. Long-term spaces are found on upper levels of each garage, priced at $20/day as of 2026, while lower levels handle short-term parking at $36/day. Off-airport lots start at $7.95/day and offer free shuttles — so there are real savings to consider before you park on-site.

• Three on-airport garages: Hibiscus serves Terminals 1–2, Palm serves Terminals 3–4, and Cypress connects to all terminals via free shuttle.
• Long-term levels: Hibiscus Levels 3–7, Palm Levels 2–4, and Cypress Levels 7–9 are designated long-term at $20/day (verified April 2026).
• Short-term levels cost $36/day: Hibiscus Level 2 and Palm Level 1 — avoid these for multi-day trips.
• Off-airport savings: Seven verified off-site lots charge $7.95–$9.99/day — up to 60% cheaper than on-airport long-term rates.
• Overflow lot: Available at $10/day with a free shuttle when main garages fill during peak season.
• Total airport capacity: Approximately 11,000 vehicles across all garages and lots, per the Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD).

What Does the Fort Lauderdale Airport Long-Term Parking Map Look Like?

The FLL parking layout positions its three garages in a row along the airport's terminal road, each color-coded and named after Florida plants. Think of them as west-to-east: Hibiscus Garage sits closest to Terminals 1 and 2, Palm Garage anchors the Terminal 3 and 4 side, and Cypress Garage acts as the overflow and economy hub that shuttles to all four terminals.

Within each garage, the map follows a simple vertical logic: lower levels = short-term, upper levels = long-term. Signs at each garage entrance show available spaces per level using electronic indicators. Follow the green lights to open spots. The official FLL parking page also shows real-time availability before you leave home.

FLL is currently undergoing a $3.2 billion capital improvement program (per BCAD). Terminal 5 is under active construction with a mid-2026 completion target. The Palm Garage is also slated for future reconstruction. No major parking closures are expected in 2026, but expect some detour signage near Terminal 4 and the Cypress Garage pedestrian bridge area.

Which Garages Offer Long-Term Parking at FLL and What Levels Are Designated?

Each garage at FLL splits its levels between short-term and long-term use. Here's the exact breakdown per the Broward County Aviation Department (verified April 2026):

The Hibiscus Garage is the largest and most convenient for Southwest, United, Frontier, and Alaska Airlines travelers using Terminal 1 (Yellow Terminal). The Palm Garage is the go-to for JetBlue, American, and Spirit flyers. Cypress is the most economical on-airport option — but you'll need the free shuttle to reach any terminal. For a full breakdown of the Hibiscus garage layout, see our guide on Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking Hibiscus Garage.

How Much Does Long-Term Parking Cost at Fort Lauderdale Airport?

On-airport long-term parking costs $20/day across Hibiscus, Palm, and Cypress garages (verified April 2026). That adds up fast on a multi-day trip. Here's what you'll actually pay based on trip length:

• 3-day trip: $60 on-airport | as low as $23.85 off-airport (Rodeway Inn)
• 7-day trip: $140 on-airport | as low as $55.65 off-airport (Rodeway Inn)
• 14-day trip: $280 on-airport | as low as $111.30 off-airport (Rodeway Inn)

Off-airport lots run $7.95–$9.99/day based on current Triply rates — a savings of up to 60% versus on-site long-term parking. Valet parking costs $30/day, which is more expensive than standard long-term but saves you the walk. The overflow lot at $10/day is the cheapest on-airport option — but it only opens when the main garages are near capacity.

How Do You Get to Long-Term Parking at FLL From the Highway?

Getting to FLL's long-term garages is straightforward once you know which road to take. The airport sits just off Interstate 595 and Interstate 95 in Dania Beach, roughly 3 miles southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Before you leave, check real-time traffic on Waze — I-595 gets congested during South Florida rush hours.

Here's how to reach each long-term garage:

1. From I-95 North or South: Take Exit 22B onto I-595 West. Follow airport signs to Terminal Drive. Hibiscus Garage entrance is on your right for Terminals 1–2.
2. From I-595 East: Exit at Ravenswood Road or Federal Highway (US-1). Follow airport perimeter signage to your target garage.
3. From US-1 (Federal Highway): Head west on Griffin Road or Stirling Road, then follow the blue FLL airport directional signs.
4. For Cypress Garage (economy): Follow signs specifically for "Economy Parking" or "Cypress Garage" — these branch off before the main terminal loop.

Once inside the airport road system, blue overhead signs direct you to each garage by name. Look for "Long-Term Parking" signs at garage entrances — they'll point you past Level 1 or 2 (short-term) up the ramp to long-term floors. Note that the Cell Phone Lot is located on Perimeter Road, south of the airport, and is free — useful if you're picking someone up and want to avoid parking fees altogether.

Which Long-Term Parking Garage Is Closest to Your Terminal and Airline?

The right garage depends entirely on which terminal your airline uses. Parking in the wrong garage adds walking time and confusion. Here's the match-up:

• Terminal 1 (Yellow) — Southwest, United, Alaska, Frontier, Allegiant: Use Hibiscus Garage. Direct pedestrian connection on long-term levels.
• Terminal 2 (Red) — Delta, Air Canada: Use Hibiscus Garage. Also has a direct walkway connection.
• Terminal 3 (Purple) — JetBlue, American, Avelo, Sun Country: Use Palm Garage. Levels 2–4 give you the shortest walk.
• Terminal 4 (Green) — Spirit, Porter, Air Transat, Flair: Use Palm Garage. The new Terminal 5 pedestrian bridge will eventually connect to Cypress Garage (mid-2026 completion).
• Any terminal via economy option: Cypress Garage serves all four terminals via the free Breeze Shuttle.

The free Breeze Shuttle also connects all terminals if you park in the wrong garage or need to change terminals. Still, parking in the correct garage cuts your transfer time significantly on a long trip. If you're flying Spirit out of Terminal 4, see our guide on Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking for Terminal 4 for details on the Palm Garage connection and Spirit-specific tips.

On-Airport vs. Off-Airport Long-Term Parking at FLL: Which Is Better?

The honest answer: off-airport long-term parking saves you more money, especially on trips over four days. On-airport parking wins on convenience and walking distance. Here's the side-by-side comparison:

Park By The Ports (FLL) runs shuttles every 10–15 minutes, 24/7. FastTrack Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking also runs every 10–15 minutes and offers a valet option at the off-site lot. The main trade-off: off-airport lots are uncovered, which matters less in South Florida than in northern climates. For longer trips — especially 7+ days — off-airport is the smarter financial choice.

How Can You Find Real-Time Availability for FLL Long-Term Parking?

FLL's garages use electronic space-finder signs at each entrance and on major levels to show available spots in real time. Green numbers mean open spaces. When a level fills, the number drops to zero and the sign may show red. You can also check availability before leaving home via the official FLL parking availability page.

During peak travel periods — spring break (March–April), Thanksgiving, and winter holidays — FLL's garages fill quickly. The airport serves South Florida's budget-friendly alternative to MIA, drawing high passenger volumes from Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Dania Beach, Pembroke Pines, Weston, and Coral Springs. When Hibiscus and Palm fill, BCAD opens the Overflow Lot at $10/day with a free shuttle — but it's not always guaranteed to have space either.

The safest move: pre-book an off-airport lot through Triply's FLL parking search before peak periods. All seven verified off-airport lots offer free cancellation, so you're not locked in if plans change.

Tips for Parking Long-Term at Fort Lauderdale Airport Without Stress

A few habits make long-term parking at FLL much smoother, especially on a return trip when you're tired and just want to find your car fast.

• Photograph your space: Snap a photo of your garage level, row, and space number the moment you park. Hibiscus and Palm use numbered levels and lettered rows — use them.
• Note the color zone: Each garage has its own color (Hibiscus = orange, Palm = green, Cypress = blue) shown on garage signs and your parking ticket. Keep your ticket safe.
• Use TSA PreCheck if you have it: Long-term parkers often add extra time for the garage walk or shuttle. TSA PreCheck saves time at the security checkpoint and offsets that extra buffer.
• Arrive 15–20 minutes earlier during peak season: Spring break and holiday weeks can add time finding a spot, especially in Hibiscus and Palm upper levels.
• Pre-book off-airport for trips over 5 days: Lock in rates from $7.95–$9.99/day before peak pricing kicks in. All verified lots offer free cancellation.
• Check shuttle hours for early departures: Most off-airport shuttles run 24/7, but the Best Western Plus lot uses an hourly schedule — not ideal for 4 a.m. flights.
• Pay with contactless or Apple Pay: FLL garage pay stations accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, and SunPass Plus — no need to hunt for exact change.
• Watch for construction detours: The Terminal 5 project near Terminal 4 and Cypress Garage may add minor detours in 2026. Follow posted airport signage over GPS in the terminal loop.

The FLL long-term parking map is straightforward once you match your garage to your terminal and know which levels to target. Hibiscus for Terminals 1–2, Palm for Terminals 3–4, Cypress for economy access to all four. Off-airport lots add a short shuttle ride but cut costs by up to 60%.
