What Is the Logan Airport Economy Parking Address and Where Exactly Is It Located?

The Logan Airport Economy Parking Garage is located at 137 Prescott Street, East Boston, MA 02128. It sits on the northern edge of Logan Airport property, within the East Boston neighborhood. The facility is managed by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) and is part of the airport's network of approximately 18,000 total parking spaces.

The Economy Garage is a multi-level structure. Vehicles enter from Prescott Street, which connects directly to Route 1A and the airport's internal road system via Route 145 (Logan Airport Access Road). The lot is physically separate from the terminal complex, which is why a free shuttle is required to reach Terminals A, B, C, and E.

Note: Terminal E surface parking lots are currently closed due to active construction of a new 5,000-space garage expected to open around 2028. If you're flying international out of Terminal E, the Economy Garage is your best on-airport option right now. Always confirm availability on Massport's economy parking page before your trip.

How Do You Get to Logan Airport Economy Parking? (Step-by-Step Driving Directions)

Getting to the Economy lot depends on where you're coming from. The three most common approaches are via the Ted Williams Tunnel (I-90), the Sumner Tunnel (Route 1A), and Route 1A from the north. Before you leave, check real-time traffic on Waze — the tunnels into East Boston can back up during rush hour and school holidays.

From Downtown Boston / South Shore (via I-90 / Ted Williams Tunnel)

  1. Take I-90 East (Massachusetts Turnpike) toward the airport.
  2. Enter the Ted Williams Tunnel — follow signs for Logan Airport.
  3. Take the ramp for Route 1A North / Airport.
  4. Follow signs to Economy Parking via Route 145 (Logan Airport Access Road).
  5. Turn onto Prescott Street and enter the garage.

From North Shore / Route 1 South (via Tobin Bridge and Sumner Tunnel)

  1. Take US Route 1 South across the Tobin Bridge into downtown Boston.
  2. Follow signs to the Sumner Tunnel / Airport.
  3. Pass through the Sumner Tunnel into East Boston.
  4. Follow Route 1A South and look for Economy Parking signs.
  5. Exit onto Prescott Street and enter the garage.

From Route 1A North (Revere, Winthrop, Chelsea)

  1. Head south on Route 1A toward East Boston.
  2. Follow airport signs for Economy Parking / Prescott Street.
  3. Turn onto Route 145 (Logan Airport Access Road) when indicated.
  4. Enter the garage from Prescott Street.

GPS tip: Enter "Logan Airport Economy Parking, 137 Prescott St, East Boston, MA 02128" into your navigation app. Avoid using "Logan Airport" as a destination — your GPS may direct you to a terminal entrance instead of the Economy lot.

How Does the Economy Parking Shuttle Work — Routes, Pickup Spots, and Wait Times

The Economy Parking shuttle is free and runs 24/7 to all four terminals. Buses depart every 15-20 minutes on a continuous loop. Massport operates the service as part of its on-airport shuttle network (Routes 22/33/55/66/88), so the same vehicles that serve rental cars and the Blue Line station also pass through Economy Parking.

When you park, take note of your level and section number — the lot is large and sections can look similar. Massport's FlyLogan app has a car-locator feature that lets you mark your parking spot before you head to the terminal. That makes finding your car on return much easier, especially at night.

What to Expect at Each Terminal

  • Terminal A (Delta, WestJet): Shuttle drops at the arrivals/departures curb on the ground level.
  • Terminal B (American, United, Southwest, Alaska, Spirit): Active renovation is underway — follow posted signs, as drop-off points may shift during construction.
  • Terminal C (JetBlue, Aer Lingus, Etihad, TAP, Cape Air): Shuttle drops curbside near the main entrance.
  • Terminal E (British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar, Air France, KLM, and others): Shuttle connects here too. Surface lots at Terminal E are closed, so the Economy shuttle is especially important for international departures.

Peak travel tip: During Thanksgiving, Christmas, and peak summer weekends, shuttles fill up quickly. Allow an extra 15-20 minutes of buffer beyond your normal arrival window. Massport recommends being at the airport at least 90 minutes before domestic flights and two hours before international departures. Enrolling in TSA PreCheck can shorten your security time and offset any shuttle delay.

What Amenities and Security Features Does Logan Economy Parking Offer?

Economy Parking includes several practical features beyond basic parking. The garage has 24/7 call boxes on every level. If you have a dead battery, flat tire, or lockout, call the box and Massport staff will assist — at no charge. That service alone has saved many travelers a stressful situation.

  • Security: The facility is on airport property, monitored by Massport security and camera systems.
  • EV and hybrid parking: Logan Airport has 173 hybrid, electric, and alternative-fuel-only spaces across all facilities (per Massport). Specific EV space availability within the Economy Garage may vary — check with the attendant upon arrival or use the FlyLogan app.
  • Accessible parking: ADA-compliant spaces are available within the garage. Massport shuttles are wheelchair accessible.
  • Payment options: Cash and all major credit cards accepted at exit lanes.
  • Vehicle height limit: The Economy Garage has a height restriction of 8'2". Full-size vans, large pickup trucks with roof racks, and lifted vehicles may not fit. Check your vehicle's clearance before arrival.
  • Assistance: Attendants are available on-site. For immediate help, use the call boxes or reach Massport parking at 617-561-1673.

For travelers planning a longer stay, these security features matter. The lot is on Massport-controlled airport property — a different level of oversight than most off-site private lots.

Is Logan Airport Economy Parking Worth It? Pros, Cons, and When to Consider Alternatives

Economy Parking is the best on-airport value at Logan — but it's not always the smartest choice. Here's an honest look at the tradeoffs.

Pros

  • Cheapest on-airport option at $37/day — $9 less than Central Parking per day
  • On Massport property — high security, monitored 24/7
  • Free 24/7 shuttle to all terminals every 15-20 minutes
  • 24/7 roadside assistance via call boxes (free jump starts, lockout help)
  • ADA accessible spaces and shuttle vehicles

Cons

  • Costs $37/day — off-site lots start at $18/day (Park N Boston) or $20/day (Park Shuttle & Fly)
  • Shuttle adds time — budget 20-30 minutes from parking to gate, including the ride and terminal walk
  • No pre-booking guarantee — advance reservation inventory is limited and sells out during peak periods
  • Height limit of 8'2" — tall vehicles may be redirected
  • Can fill up — during holidays and summer, the lot reaches capacity; have a backup plan

If Economy Parking is at capacity, Massport staff typically direct overflow traffic to the Central Parking Garage, which costs $46/day. There is no intermediate option on the airport property. This is one of the strongest reasons to book in advance or consider an off-site alternative during peak travel periods.

How Does Logan Economy Parking Compare to Off-Site Airport Parking Options?

Off-site lots near Logan offer significantly lower rates. For multi-day trips, the savings are real. The table below compares Economy Parking to verified off-site options near BOS (verified April 2026).

Parking at Park N Boston for 5 days costs $90 — a savings of $95 compared to Economy Parking. That's more than 50% less. The tradeoff is a slightly longer shuttle ride (around 8 minutes versus the on-airport loop) and a 30-minute shuttle frequency instead of 15-20 minutes.

For travelers who want the lowest possible rate with 24/7 on-demand shuttle service, Park Shuttle & Fly (family-owned since 1975) is a strong pick at $20/day.
