LAX Long Term Parking at Airport Hotels: Rates, Shuttle & Tips

Back to LAX Airport Hotel with Parking: Best Park Sleep Fly Deals | Complete LAX Airport Parking Guide

LAX long term parking at an airport hotel means leaving your car at a hotel lot on Century Boulevard and taking the hotel's shuttle to the Los Angeles International Airport terminals. Triply sells two such lots: the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel at about $19/day and Sonesta Los Angeles Airport at about $23/day, both valet. Off-site shuttle lots start at about $9/day, compared with a $60/day maximum at on-airport CTA terminal garages and $35/day at Economy Parking. Rates here are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.

• Location: the Sheraton Gateway (6101 W Century Blvd, listed 1 mile away) and Sonesta Los Angeles Airport (5985 W Century Blvd, listed 1.1 miles away) both sit on Century Boulevard.
• Both are valet lots with a hotel airport shuttle that runs 24/7, about every 25 to 30 minutes.
• Triply bookings are parking only: no hotel rooms and no park-sleep-fly packages.
• On-airport comparison: LAX Budget Parking is $20/day max, Economy Parking $35/day max and the CTA terminal garages $60/day max per 24 hours. The Sheraton Gateway is only slightly below Budget, and Sonesta costs more than Budget.
• Off-site alternatives are cheaper: Fox Parking at about $9/day, and South Bay Airport Parking - 105 at about $10/day, both with shuttles.
• Book ahead to hold your space. Cancellation is free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

What Does Long-Term Parking at LAX Airport Hotels Cost in 2026?

On Triply, parking at the two Century Boulevard hotels runs about $19/day at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel and about $23/day at Sonesta Los Angeles Airport. Both use valet parking. A week at those daily rates comes to about $132 and $161, and the real 7-night checkouts with fees and tax are about $165 and $198. Those checkouts are more than seven days at LAX Budget Parking's $140 daily maximum, so the hotel lots are about convenience and valet, not savings.

For context, here's how the two hotel lots stack up against official LAX lots and the cheaper off-site lots Triply sells (on-airport figures are drive-up maximums per 24 hours):

If pure cost savings are the goal, the off-site lots win clearly: Fox Parking at about $9/day and South Bay Airport Parking - 105 at about $10/day cost about half or less of what the Century Boulevard hotels charge per day. The hotel lots make sense if you want valet parking and a short ride of about 1 mile to the terminals. For a full breakdown of what each LAX lot charges per day, see our guide on LAX long term parking rates.

How Does Valet Parking at an LAX Airport Hotel Work?

At the Sheraton Gateway and Sonesta, you show your booking confirmation (on your device or printed) to the valet attendant in front of the hotel and get a valet ticket in exchange. Keep the ticket and present it when you return. The hotel's airport shuttle takes you to the terminals, and when you come back you pick it up at the upper departure/ticketing level, under the red sign that reads "Hotel shuttles and private parking shuttle," then ride back to collect your car. The Sonesta shuttle has Sonesta written on the side.

Here's what to expect at both Century Boulevard hotel lots:

• Valet parking: you hand over your keys at the hotel entrance (valet at the Sheraton Gateway is operated by AAA Parking)
• Booking confirmation shown to the valet attendant in exchange for a valet ticket
• Hotel airport shuttle that runs 24/7, about every 25 to 30 minutes
• Airport pickup on the upper departure/ticketing level at the red hotel and private parking shuttle sign
• Parking only: Triply bookings do not include a room or hotel amenities

The value depends on your trip length and how much you want valet and a short ride. At the daily rates, a week at the Sheraton Gateway is about $132 and a week at Sonesta about $161, while a week at Fox Parking is about $64 and at South Bay Airport Parking - 105 about $67. For longer trips of 10 to 14 days, the gap grows, so run the numbers carefully. You can also read our guide on Los Angeles airport hotel parking to compare hotel parking options side by side.

One tip: if you want valet at a lower price, Fox Parking is a valet lot at about $9/day. It has a 3-day minimum, and SUVs, trucks and minivans pay $1.50 to $10/day extra at the lot.

How Far Are the Century Boulevard Hotels from Airport Terminals?

The Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel (6101 W Century Blvd) is listed 1 mile from the airport, and Sonesta Los Angeles Airport (5985 W Century Blvd) is listed 1.1 miles away. Both are in the Century Boulevard hotel area near the LAX Central Terminal Area (CTA). LA traffic can add time to the ride at busy hours, so always factor this in for early departures.

LAX has nine terminal areas. Here is which airlines use which:

• Terminal 1: Southwest Airlines, JetBlue
• Terminal 2: Delta Air Lines (check-in)
• Terminal 3: Delta (hub), Aeromexico, Virgin Atlantic, WestJet
• Terminal 4: American Airlines (hub), American Eagle
• Terminal 6: Alaska Airlines (hub), Hawaiian Airlines, Air Canada
• Terminals 7 & 8: United Airlines (hub)
• Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT): Emirates, British Airways, Qantas, Lufthansa, and most international carriers

Before your trip, check real-time traffic on Waze's live traffic map to time your departure from your hotel or lot accurately.

How Often Do the Airport Hotel Shuttles Run to LAX?

The Sheraton Gateway and Sonesta shuttles both run 24/7, about every 25 to 30 minutes, to and from the airport. For comparison, Fox Parking's shuttle runs 24/7 every 15 to 20 minutes and South Bay Airport Parking - 105's runs 24/7 every 20 to 30 minutes. For any shuttle question at the Sheraton Gateway, call 310-642-1111.

A few practical tips for using the hotel shuttles:

• With shuttles about every 25 to 30 minutes, build the wait into your plan on top of the ride to the terminal.
• On return, go to the upper departure/ticketing level and wait at the red sign that reads "Hotel shuttles and private parking shuttle." Look for Sonesta written on the side of that hotel's shuttle.
• During peak travel weekends and holidays, shuttle demand spikes. Build in extra buffer time.
• The LAX Automated People Mover (APM), expected to open around June 2026, will connect the new Metro Transit Center to all terminals via elevated train. Once open, it may offer an additional transit option from the Century Boulevard area.

How Do the Century Boulevard Hotel Lots Compare to LAX Official Lots and Off-Site Options?

The Sheraton Gateway and Sonesta sit at the top of Triply's LAX price range, at about $19 and $23/day. The Sheraton is only about 6% below LAX Budget Parking's $20/day max, and Sonesta costs about 15% more than Budget, though both are below Economy ($35) and the CTA garages ($60). Here's a direct comparison (on-airport figures are drive-up maximums per 24 hours):

For pure parking value, Fox Parking at about $9/day is the lowest-priced Triply lot with a shuttle, about 85% less per day than the $60/day CTA garages and about 74% less than Economy. South Bay Airport Parking - 105, 405 Airport Parking and Simply Park are about $10/day. The 9750 Airport Blvd lot (the former Four Points by Sheraton) is about $8/day but has no shuttle, so add a rideshare each way. The Century Boulevard hotels cost more but give you valet parking and a ride of about 1 mile.

How Do You Book Long-Term Parking Near LAX?

Booking LAX parking on Triply is straightforward. Follow these steps to secure your spot:

1. Go to Triply's LAX parking page and enter your dates.
2. Compare lots by price, distance and shuttle hours. Note any minimums: Fox Parking needs 3 days, the 9750 Airport Blvd lot needs 2 days, and Travelodge by Wyndham LAX South must be booked at least 24 hours ahead.
3. Check vehicle limits. Fox's rate is for passenger cars, with extra charges at the lot for SUVs, trucks and minivans. South Bay's garage clears 6 ft 10 in and Simply Park's 6 ft 8 in.
4. Book your lot and keep your confirmation handy. You will show it at arrival, to the valet attendant at the hotel lots or by QR code at lots such as 405 Airport Parking and Simply Park.
5. Check the cancellation policy. Bookings include free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Before you go, note your lot's return instructions. For example, Fox Parking asks you to text your claim number and last name to (310) 266-4255 after baggage claim, and 405 Airport Parking asks you to call 310-216-9235 to request your airport pickup.

What Amenities and Security Features Do LAX Hotel and Off-Site Lots Offer?

Each lot lists its own features. Here is what Triply's listings say:

• Fox Parking: valet, security, wheelchair access, covered/garage parking listed, and complimentary luggage assistance
• South Bay Airport Parking - 105: well-lit, secure garage with free EV charging (Blink chargers, 6 valet-only spaces); clearance 6 ft 10 in
• 405 Airport Parking: gated, with on-site security cameras, staff present and accessible parking

• Sonesta Los Angeles Airport: valet, security and a 24/7 front desk

As part of the massive Transforming LAX modernization program, the broader LAX area is seeing significant infrastructure upgrades ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympics. This includes improved road access along Century Boulevard and the I-405 corridor, good news for anyone driving to hotels in the area. Construction may cause temporary delays near the airport, so budget extra travel time when driving to and from your lot.

For travelers who want the fastest security experience after arriving at the terminal, enrolling in TSA PreCheck dramatically cuts wait times at LAX. Pair that with a reliable parking plan and your airport morning becomes much less stressful.

Tips for Saving Money on Long-Term Parking at LAX

Saving on LAX long term parking comes down to timing, flexibility, and knowing your options. Here are the most effective strategies:

• Book early. Booking ahead holds your space, so check a few dates if you can be flexible.
• Check off-site shuttle lots first. For trips longer than 5 days, Fox Parking (about $9/day), South Bay Airport Parking - 105, 405 Airport Parking and Simply Park (about $10/day each) cost far less than the hotel lots at about $19 to $23/day.
• Watch minimum stays and vehicle limits. Fox has a 3-day minimum and the 9750 Airport Blvd lot a 2-day minimum, and South Bay and Simply Park have garage height limits.
• Choose valet only if you want it. Fox Parking offers valet at about $9/day, while the Sheraton Gateway and Sonesta cost about $19 and $23/day.
• Avoid peak periods. Holiday travel around Thanksgiving, Christmas and summer is busy at LAX, so book even earlier for those dates.
• Compare with LAX Budget Parking. At $20/day max, it is the cheapest on-airport option, but most of Triply's shuttle lots, at about $9 to $12/day, cost less.

The best approach: decide what matters most. If you're parking for 7+ days, the off-site shuttle lots almost always win on price. If you want valet, Fox Parking is the lowest-priced valet lot with a shuttle (listed 2.1 miles from the airport). If you want valet closer in, the Sheraton Gateway and Sonesta are about 1 mile away on Century Boulevard.
