LaGuardia Airport Daily Parking Rates: 2026 Guide

Back to LaGuardia Airport Parking Prices | Complete LGA Airport Parking Guide

LaGuardia Airport daily parking rates are parking fees charged per 24-hour period at on-airport garages and off-site lots near LGA, ranging from about $11/day at off-site lots up to $89/day at the on-airport Terminal C Garage. On-airport rates were checked on laguardiaairport.com in October 2026; off-site rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. A week at Queens Crossing - LAZ Parking runs about $80 before tax, against $560 at the Terminal B Garage drive-up maximum.

LaGuardia is just 8 miles east of Midtown Manhattan, the closest of the three major NYC airports to the city. That convenience makes driving and parking a popular choice. But on-airport rates at LGA are among the highest in New York. Off-site options, booked in advance through Triply, start at about $11/day, about 87% less than the Terminal C walk-up rate.

• Cheapest on-airport option: Prepaid Economy Parking, reservation only (at least 3 hours ahead) with no drive-up rate, as low as $40/day. Terminal A Parking is $75/day max, or as low as $50/day prebooked
• Most expensive on-airport option: Terminal C Garage at $89/day walk-up ($60/day pre-booked)
• Cheapest off-site option: Queens Crossing - LAZ Parking at about $11/day
• Pre-booking saves money: the Terminal A, B and C garages are $25 to $29 per day cheaper pre-booked than at the drive-up maximum
• Shuttle hours matter: the two cheapest off-site lots, Queens Crossing and Hyatt Place Flushing, have no shuttle late at night (after 10:30 PM and 10 PM). Lots with a 24/7 shuttle start from about $18/day (Parking Place)

How Much Does Daily Parking at LaGuardia Airport Cost?

On-airport daily parking at LGA costs between $40/day and $89/day, depending on where you park: Prepaid Economy Parking is as low as $40/day, and the terminal garages top out at $75 (Terminal A), $80 (Terminal B) and $89 (Terminal C) per day. Off-site lots near LaGuardia range from about $11/day to about $22/day, based on current Triply rates. Prepaid Economy is reservation only, prebooking the garages online is cheaper than the drive-up maximum, and off-site lots on Triply are booked ahead too.

Here's how the full rate structure breaks down across the on-airport options and every off-site lot Triply sells:

The on-airport garages charge incrementally before reaching the daily maximum. Terminal A and Terminal B start at $5 for the first 30 minutes, then $10 per additional 30 minutes. Terminal C charges $6 for the first 30 minutes and $12 per additional 30 minutes. Charges stop at the daily maximum: $75 at Terminal A, $80 at Terminal B and $89 at Terminal C.

What Are the Parking Options at Each LGA Terminal (A, B, and C)?

Each terminal at LaGuardia has different parking access. Your airline determines your terminal — and that determines which parking option is most convenient for you.

Terminal A (Marine Air Terminal)

Terminal A serves Spirit Airlines. It is the oldest terminal at LGA and has planned infrastructure upgrades under the 2026–2035 capital plan (the historic rotunda will be preserved). On-airport, Terminal A Parking is the closest option, at a $75/day maximum or as low as $50/day prebooked (no cash or E-ZPass Plus). Travelers flying Spirit from Terminal A can also use Prepaid Economy Parking or an off-site lot. Check LaGuardia Terminal A information for current access details.

Terminal B

Terminal B is the new $4 billion facility serving Air Canada, American Airlines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Porter Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. It has a dedicated Terminal B Garage connected by a pedestrian bridge — no shuttle needed. The walk-up rate is $80/day, but pre-booking through the airport brings it to $55/day. For a full breakdown of parking near this terminal, see our guide to LaGuardia Airport Parking Terminal B rates and best options.

Terminal C

Terminal C is Delta Air Lines' home at LGA. It opened in June 2022 as a 1.3 million square foot facility with 37 gates across 4 concourses. The Terminal C Garage is the most expensive on-airport option at $89/day walk-up or $60/day pre-booked. Visit Delta's Terminal C at LGA for the latest terminal information. Off-site lots near LGA that offer 24/7 shuttles can serve Terminal C travelers at a fraction of the cost.

How Do Off-Site LGA Parking Lots Compare to On-Airport Rates?

Off-site parking near LaGuardia on Triply costs about 73% to 87% less per day than the $80 Terminal B and $89 Terminal C garage maximums, and every off-site lot is below the $40/day Prepaid Economy floor. The trade-off is a shuttle ride to the terminal (a valet drive at Park For U, your own ride at Hearthstone) instead of a direct walk or bridge connection. For most trips, especially anything longer than one day, the savings are significant.

Here's a direct savings comparison for a 5-day trip (off-site totals are before NY tax):

• Terminal C Garage (walk-up): $89 × 5 = $445
• Terminal B Garage (pre-booked, as low as): $55 × 5 = $275
• Prepaid Economy Parking (as low as): $40 × 5 = $200
• Queens Crossing - LAZ Parking: about $11/day, roughly $57 for 5 days
• Hyatt Place Flushing - LAZ Parking: about $12/day, roughly $59 for 5 days
• Parking Place: about $18/day, roughly $91 for 5 days

Parking at Queens Crossing for a 5-day trip costs roughly $57 compared to $445 at the Terminal C Garage walk-up rate. That is a difference of about $388 for the same trip. Even compared to the pre-booked Terminal B rate, Queens Crossing saves you about $218 over 5 days.

Which LGA Off-Site Parking Lots Offer Free Shuttle Service?

Off-site lots near LGA handle the terminal transfer in different ways, and the hours vary widely. Some run 24/7, others stop in the evening, and one has no shuttle at all. Only Queens Crossing and Hyatt Place Flushing list their shuttle as free with the online reservation. If your flight departs or arrives late at night, this difference matters a lot.

24/7 shuttle service (any departure or arrival time): most of the price at these three lots is paid at the lot, not online.

• Parking Place: about $18/day, shuttle every 15 minutes, call 848-350-5832
• Purchase Park 2 Fly LaGuardia Airport: about $19/day, on-demand 24/7, call 888-960-7275 (2-day minimum booking)
• Carvia Parking: about $20/day, shuttle every 15 minutes, call (848) 350-0288

Limited-hours shuttle service (daytime/evening flights only):

• Queens Crossing - LAZ Parking: about $11/day, free shuttle with your online reservation, 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, once an hour at half past. No shuttle 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM. Print your receipt: no printed receipt means no service and no refund.
• Hyatt Place Flushing - LAZ Parking: about $12/day, free shuttle with your online purchase, 7 AM to 10 PM on the hour. No shuttle 10 PM to 7 AM.

No shuttle bus:

• Park For U LaGuardia: about $16/day, valet service 24/7. A valet drives you to your terminal in your own car and brings it back when you call 917-765-5171 after collecting your bags. Take your own time-stamped photos of the car first.
• Hearthstone Garage: about $22/day, covered valet, but you must arrange your own ride to and from LGA (the listing suggests Uber or Lyft).

The two cheapest lots, Queens Crossing and Hyatt Place Flushing, have restricted shuttle hours: the first shuttle is at 6:30 AM or 7 AM, and there is none after 10:30 PM or 10 PM. For early morning departures or red-eye arrivals outside those hours, pick a 24/7 lot (the cheapest is Parking Place at about $18/day) or plan to use Lyft at LaGuardia for the transfer.

How Can You Save Money on LaGuardia Airport Parking?

The single biggest way to save is to book an off-site lot ahead. Beyond that, a few specific strategies can cut your costs even further.

• Skip the promo-code hunt: codes and deals issued by other sites do not apply on Triply. Triply shows the full price before checkout, and every booking has free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• Search your exact dates: off-site rates differ by check-in date (Parking Place and Carvia both vary from one date to the next), so compare the dates you actually need.
• Choose Prepaid Economy for on-airport stays: Reservation only (at least 3 hours ahead) and as low as $40/day, it is cheaper than the terminal garages and serves all three terminals with a shuttle. Every off-site lot on Triply costs less still.
• Pre-book Terminal B or C Garage: Even if you prefer on-airport, pre-booking through LaGuardia's official parking page saves $25 to $29/day versus walk-up rates.
• Mind the hourly rates: Terminal B starts at $5 for the first half hour (then $10 per additional half hour) and Terminal C at $6 (then $12), up to the daily maximum. For a multi-day stay, the daily rate is what counts.
• Skip the Marriott: The New York LaGuardia Marriott parking lot closed indefinitely on January 31, 2026 due to construction. Do not attempt to book it.

What Is the LGA Cell Phone Waiting Lot and How Does It Work?

The LGA Cell Phone Waiting Lot is a free, short-term lot located on 94th Street, about half a mile from the airport. It is designed for drivers picking up arriving passengers — you wait there at no charge, then drive to the terminal when your passenger texts or calls that they are outside.

Here is how to use it:

1. Drive to the Cell Phone Lot on 94th Street (follow signs from the Grand Central Parkway or Ditmars Boulevard).
2. Park and wait — no time limit while you are waiting for a pickup.
3. When your passenger exits baggage claim, they contact you.
4. Pull out of the waiting lot and drive directly to their terminal's arrivals curb.

The Cell Phone Lot is free and has no reservation required. It is the right choice for a 20-minute wait. It is not suitable for leaving your car while you fly — it is a pickup-only facility with no overnight or long-term option.

How Do You Reserve Parking at LaGuardia Airport in Advance?

Reserving LGA parking in advance takes less than 5 minutes and consistently costs less than walk-up rates. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Choose your lot type. Decide between on-airport convenience (Terminal A, B or C Garage, Prepaid Economy) or off-site savings (starting at about $11/day).
2. Compare options on Triply. Search LGA parking on Triply to see the off-site lots side by side, with shuttle schedules, amenities, and live pricing.
3. Enter your dates. Input your departure and return dates to see the exact per-day rate and total cost.
4. Book with free cancellation. Every Triply booking has free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so you can lock in today's rate and cancel if plans change.
5. Save your confirmation. You will receive a booking confirmation with the lot's address, shuttle pickup number, and check-in instructions.

For on-airport pre-booking, the official portal is at parking.laguardiaairport.com or by phone at (888) 250-8277. Book at least 3 hours ahead. For the terminal garages, pre-booking saves $25 to $29/day versus driving up without a reservation, while Prepaid Economy is reservation only.

Pro tip: If your off-site lot has limited shuttle hours (like Queens Crossing or Hyatt Place Flushing), save the lot's direct pickup number in your phone before you travel. Queens Crossing, for example, uses trackmyshuttle.com (code 1234) or its shuttle line, 718-888-1234 ext. 0. Don't rely on finding the number in a parking garage.

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

For short trips of 1–2 days, a rideshare to and from LGA can be cheaper than parking. On longer trips the answer depends on your fare from home, so compare it with the lot total. Here is how the math works for a round trip from a nearby neighborhood like Astoria or Jackson Heights.

A typical Lyft or Uber round trip from Queens to LGA runs roughly $20 to $40 depending on traffic and surge pricing. That is competitive with off-site parking at about $11 to $18 per day. For a 5-day trip, parking at Queens Crossing, Hyatt Place Flushing or Parking Place costs about $57 to $91 total before tax, so a short rideshare from nearby can still come out cheaper. Parking makes more sense when you are driving in from farther away, or when your rideshare fare would be higher than the lot total.

Keep in mind that LGA does not have an AirTrain. Unlike JFK, there is no fixed rail connection adding cost to the comparison. The choice is purely: parking rate versus rideshare fare.
