How Much Does Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking Cost Per Day in 2026?

FLL parking rates in 2026 depend on which garage level or lot type you use. The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) sets all on-airport rates, which are posted on the official FLL parking page (verified April 2026). Here is a full breakdown of current daily rates:

Short-term parking is designed for quick pickups and drop-offs, not multi-day trips. The rate climbs fast — the garage charges in intervals, and you hit the $36/day cap quickly. If you plan to leave your car overnight or longer, long-term garage parking at $20/day is the smarter on-site choice. For the best daily value overall, off-site lots beat every on-airport option.

How Much Does FLL Parking Cost for 3, 5, 7, or 14 Days?

Your total parking bill adds up fast for longer trips. Here is what you will pay across the most common trip lengths, based on current 2026 daily rates. These figures are based on verified Triply rate data and official BCAD pricing.

The savings are real. A 7-day trip using an off-site lot at $7.99/day costs about $56. The same trip in a long-term garage costs $140 — that is 60% more. For a 14-day trip, the difference between the cheapest off-site lot and the long-term garage is over $168. That is real money back in your pocket.

What Are the Different FLL Parking Options and Which Is Right for Your Trip?

FLL offers five distinct on-airport parking types plus seven verified off-site lots. The right choice depends on your trip length, terminal, and budget.

On-Airport Parking at FLL

• Hibiscus Garage — Serves Terminals 1 and 2. Level 2 is short-term ($36/day). Levels 3–7 are long-term ($20/day). Ideal for Alaska, Southwest, Delta, and United passengers.
• Palm Garage — Serves Terminals 3 and 4. Level 1 is short-term ($36/day). Levels 2–4 are long-term ($20/day). Best for American, JetBlue, Spirit, and Porter passengers. Note: Palm Garage reconstruction is part of FLL's $3.2 billion capital improvement program — no closures expected in 2026, but signage may vary.
• Cypress Garage — Levels 7–9 are long-term ($20/day). Free shuttle connects Cypress to all terminals. Good backup option when Hibiscus or Palm fill up.
• Valet Parking — $30/day. You pull up to the terminal curb, hand over your keys, and an attendant parks your car. Convenient for travelers with heavy luggage or tight schedules. See our guide to curbside valet parking at Fort Lauderdale Airport for full drop-off details.
• Overflow Lot — $10/day with a free shuttle to terminals. Opens when garages reach capacity. Location is off Perimeter Road, south of the airport. See the section below for more on how it works.

FLL's on-airport system holds approximately 11,000 vehicles across all garages and lots. Payment is accepted by cash, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, and contactless methods at automated pay stations.

Off-Site Parking Near FLL

Off-site lots are privately owned facilities located 5–10 minutes from FLL. All seven verified lots include a free shuttle to the terminals. They are uncovered, self-park lots — meaning no covered or garage-style protection — but they are gated, lit, and monitored with security cameras. Every lot listed here offers free cancellation, which makes pre-booking risk-free.

Is Off-Site FLL Airport Parking Worth It vs Parking in the Garage?

For most multi-day travelers, off-site parking is the better deal. Off-site lots cost 60–75% less per day than on-airport short-term parking, and 50–60% less than long-term garage rates — based on current 2026 verified pricing. The tradeoff is a 5–15 minute shuttle ride instead of a direct walk to the terminal.

• Choose on-site garages if you want a direct walk to your terminal, you have mobility needs, or your trip is under 24 hours.
• Choose off-site parking if you want the lowest daily rate, your trip is 3+ days, and you can spare 10–15 extra minutes for the shuttle.
• Choose the Overflow Lot if garages are full — it is on-airport, costs only $10/day, and has a free shuttle.
• Check shuttle hours before booking off-site for very early or very late flights. Some lots have limited overnight shuttle schedules. Park By The Ports and FastTrack both run 24/7 shuttles every 10–15 minutes. Best Western Plus runs shuttles on an hourly schedule.

One more consideration: if you are flying out of Terminal 4 (Spirit, Porter, Air Transat, Flair Airlines), the Palm Garage is the closest on-site option. For Terminal 3 passengers on American or JetBlue, Palm Garage also applies. For help choosing based on your airline, the Fort Lauderdale Airport economy parking guide breaks down options by terminal and budget.

How Does FLL Overflow Parking Work and When Does It Open?

FLL's Overflow Lot costs $10/day and opens when the main garages reach capacity. It is located off Perimeter Road, south of the airport. A free shuttle runs from the Overflow Lot to all terminals. This lot is managed by the Broward County Aviation Department and is officially listed on the BCAD overflow parking page.

The Overflow Lot is typically activated during peak travel periods — spring break (March–April), Thanksgiving, Christmas, and busy cruise weekends near Port Everglades. During these windows, even the Overflow Lot can fill up. If you are traveling during a high-demand period, pre-booking an off-site lot is a safer strategy. You will pay a similar rate — or less — and have a guaranteed space.

How to Save Money on Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking

Parking at FLL does not have to be expensive. These strategies consistently produce the lowest total cost based on current 2026 rates and traveler experience.

1. Book off-site in advance. Off-site lots start at $7.95/day. Pre-booking locks in that rate and guarantees your space. All seven verified lots offer free cancellation, so there is no risk.
2. Avoid short-term garages for multi-day trips. Short-term parking at $36/day is designed for hourly visits. A 5-day trip there costs $180. The same trip off-site costs under $45.
3. Use the Overflow Lot as a budget on-site option. At $10/day, it beats the long-term garage by 50%. The free shuttle adds 10–15 minutes, but the savings add up fast.
4. Compare rates before you go. Rates between off-site lots vary by up to $2/day. That is $28 over a 14-day trip. Use Triply to compare all verified options side by side.
5. Check shuttle frequency for your flight time. Early morning or late-night flights need a lot with 24/7 shuttle service. Park By The Ports and FastTrack both run every 10–15 minutes around the clock.
6. Plan ahead for peak season. Spring break and holiday weekends push all lots toward capacity. Book at least 1–2 weeks early to avoid last-minute premium pricing.

Also worth knowing: FLL is in the middle of a $3.2 billion expansion, including a new Terminal 5 (expected mid-2026) and a future Automated People Mover. No major parking closures are planned for 2026, but allow extra time for terminal navigation during the construction period.

Where Are the FLL Parking Garages and Which Is Closest to My Terminal?

Each FLL parking garage serves specific terminals. Choosing the right garage saves time on foot.

• Hibiscus Garage → Serves Terminals 1 and 2. Best for Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Air Canada passengers.
• Palm Garage → Serves Terminals 3 and 4. Best for American Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines, Porter Airlines, and Flair Airlines passengers.
• Cypress Garage → Long-term levels with a free shuttle to all terminals. Good for any airline, especially when Hibiscus or Palm are full.

The free Breeze Shuttle connects all four terminals on-airport. If you park in the wrong garage, the Breeze Shuttle can get you to your terminal — but allow extra time. ADA-accessible spaces are available on the garage levels closest to terminal connections, with van-accessible spaces also available at each garage.

For a terminal-specific breakdown with maps and directions, the FLL airport parking garage guide covers all three garages in detail.

Before you drive to the airport, check real-time traffic on Waze — especially during morning rush hours on I-95 and I-595. FLL is located 3 miles southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale, and construction activity around the airport can affect approach routes.
