How Much Does It Cost to Park at LAX in 2026?

LAX offers five main tiers of on-airport parking, each at a different price point. Rates below are the current daily maximums set by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) (verified April 2026).

• CTA General Parking (P1–P7): $60/day maximum
• CTA Premium Parking (P1, P3, P7): $70/day maximum
• CTA Valet Parking (P1, P3, P4, P7): $75/day maximum
• Economy Parking: $35/day maximum
• Budget Parking: $20/day maximum

Hourly rates matter for short trips. CTA General Parking starts at $9 for the first hour (P1, P2, P5, P6, P7) or $11 at P3 and P4. After that, you pay $7 every 30 minutes (or $9 at P3/P4). Economy Parking starts at $8 for the first hour, then $7 per 30 minutes. Budget Parking starts at just $5 for the first hour. For anything longer than a quick pickup, these rates add up fast — which is why many travelers look at off-site options instead.

Not sure which lot works best for your trip length? Compare LAX parking rates from about $9/day with a shuttle on Triply and book ahead with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

What Are the LAX Parking Lots and Their Daily Rates?

Each on-airport parking structure serves specific terminals. Choosing the right garage saves you walking time — especially with luggage. Here's a full breakdown of which lot serves which terminal, based on LAX's official terminal parking page.

Flying into Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT)? TBIT handles international carriers including British Airways, Emirates, Qantas, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, and dozens more. TBIT is connected to the CTA loop, so P2 or P3 are the closest garage options. Economy and Budget Parking serve TBIT passengers via free shuttle.

How Much Does Off-Site LAX Parking Cost vs On-Site?

Off-site parking you can book on Triply near LAX costs about $8 to $23 per day, compared with $20 to $75/day on-airport. Most shuttle lots run about $9 to $12/day. The two Century Blvd hotels cost more, and Sonesta is above the $20/day Budget lot. For a 7-day trip, the difference at the cheaper lots becomes significant. Here's how the numbers stack up across the off-site lots on Triply, with on-airport lots for comparison.

For a 7-day trip, parking at Fox Parking (about $9/day) costs about $64 total, versus $420 for a CTA garage. That's a saving of roughly $356 on a single trip. Even mid-range options like 405 Airport Parking (about $10/day) save you over $340 compared to terminal garage parking. Budget Parking ($20/day) costs less than Sonesta Los Angeles Airport (about $23/day) and only about $1/day more than Sheraton Gateway (about $19/day), so check the on-airport rate before booking a hotel lot. For more detail on longer stays, see our guide to LAX long term parking rates and tips.

Which LAX Parking Lot Is Closest to My Terminal?

The CTA garages (P1–P7) are attached directly to each terminal — you walk from the garage into your terminal without a shuttle. That's the main reason travelers pay the premium. Here's a quick reference by airline.

• Southwest Airlines / JetBlue: Terminal 1 → Park in P1
• Delta Air Lines (hub): Terminal 3 → Park in P3
• American Airlines: Terminal 4 → Park in P4
• Alaska Airlines / Hawaiian Airlines: Terminal 6 → Park in P6
• United Airlines: Terminals 7 & 8 → Park in P7
• International flights (British Airways, Emirates, Qantas, etc.): TBIT → Use P2/P3 or Economy Parking with shuttle

If you're flying American Eagle out of the Regional Terminal (Eagle's Nest), it operates exclusively as an American Eagle facility. P4 is your closest option. For any terminal, Premium Parking in P1, P3, and P7 gives you the nearest spots to the terminal entrance — worth the extra $10/day if you have heavy bags or mobility concerns.

How Can You Save Money on LAX Parking?

The biggest savings come from booking off-site in advance. Booking ahead holds your space at the rate you booked, and rates change by date. Here are the most effective ways to pay less.

• Book off-site and prepay online. Lots like Fox Parking and 405 Airport Parking can be reserved ahead on Triply.
• Use Economy Parking instead of a CTA garage. At $35/day vs $60/day, you save 42% with a free shuttle every 10 to 15 minutes.
• Choose Budget Parking for longer trips. At $20/day, a 7-day stay costs just $140, versus $245 at Economy and $420 in a garage.
• Match the lot to your flight time. Travelodge has no shuttle from 12:30 AM to 5:00 AM, and the 9750 Airport Blvd lot has no shuttle at all, so budget for a rideshare there.
• Look for lots with free cancellation. Every off-site lot booked on Triply comes with free cancellation and a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so you can book early with little risk.
• Plan around peak travel windows. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and major LA events are busy at LAX, so book early during those periods.

Is It Cheaper to Park at LAX or Take a Rideshare?

For short trips under 3 days, a rideshare is often cheaper. For longer trips, parking almost always wins. Here's a rough cost comparison to help you decide.

• Uber/Lyft from downtown LA (16 miles): Typically $35–$65 each way, so $70–$130 round trip
• Budget Parking for 3 days: $60 total, cheaper than one round-trip Uber
• Off-site parking (Fox Parking, about $9/day) for 3 days: About $28 total (Fox has a 3-day minimum)
• Rideshare from nearby neighborhoods (El Segundo, Inglewood): $15–$30 each way, which may be cheaper for a single overnight trip

The break-even point is roughly 2–3 days for most travelers. If your trip is longer than 3 days and you live more than 10 miles from LAX, parking almost always costs less than rideshare — especially with a pre-booked off-site lot. Surge pricing during holidays can push rideshare costs much higher, making parking an even better value. Before you drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — I-405 and Century Boulevard near LAX are notorious for delays that add time and cost to your trip.

How Do LAX Parking Shuttles Work and How Often Do They Run?

Most off-site lots near LAX run their own shuttle, but frequency varies by lot and one has no shuttle at all. Here's what to expect from each lot you can book on Triply.

• 9750 Airport Blvd (formerly Four Points by Sheraton): No shuttle, so arrange your own ride; 1.4 miles from LAX
• Fox Parking: Shuttle every 15 to 20 minutes, around the clock; 2.1 miles from LAX
• South Bay Airport Parking - 105: Shuttle every 20 to 30 minutes, 24/7; 1.2 miles from LAX
• 405 Airport Parking: Shuttle 24/7 on demand; 2.2 miles from LAX
• Simply Park: Shuttle every 30 minutes, 24/7; 2.2 miles from LAX
• Travelodge by Wyndham LAX South: Shuttle every 30 minutes from 5:00 AM to 12:30 AM, none overnight; 1.2 miles from LAX
• Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel: Shuttle about every 25 to 30 minutes, 24/7; 1 mile from LAX
• Sonesta Los Angeles Airport: Shuttle about every 25 to 30 minutes, 24/7; 1.1 miles from LAX

On-airport Economy Parking connects to all terminals via free shuttle every 10–15 minutes. A major change is coming: the Automated People Mover (APM), expected to open around June 2026, will connect Economy Parking, the Metro Transit Center, and the rental car facility (ConRAC) to terminals via an elevated train. This is part of the broader Transforming LAX modernization program targeting completion ahead of the 2028 Olympics. Once open, the APM will make Economy Parking significantly faster to access than it is today.

For travelers taking short trips — a few hours or a single overnight — the CTA garages let you walk directly to your terminal. For more on short-term parking options, see our LAX short-term parking guide covering hourly rates and the best garages by terminal.
