O'Hare Airport Parking Map & Rates: Every Lot Explained (2026)

Quick answer

The O'Hare parking map shows every lot and garage's location relative to four terminals, organized around Bessie Coleman Drive. Main Garages ($43/day) attach to each terminal; Economy Lots F, G and H ($16-$30/day) sit away from the terminal core and connect to the free ATS train (Lot F at the MMF; Lots G and H by shuttle bus). The Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) is the central navigation hub.

The O'Hare airport parking map is a visual layout of every parking lot, garage, and economy lot at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), showing each facility's location, terminal access, and connection to the free Airport Transit System (ATS). O'Hare holds roughly 18,000 vehicles across all on-site lots. Knowing where each lot sits before you arrive saves real time. On-airport rates range from $16/day (Economy Lots G and H) to $43/day (Main Garages), and off-site lots on Triply start at about $11/day, so the right lot choice also saves real money.

• Four Main Garages sit directly beside Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 5, capped at $43/day.
• Economy Lots F, G, and H are cheaper ($16-$30/day) and connect to all terminals via the free ATS; from Lots G and H you take a shuttle bus to the MMF first.
• The Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) is the central ATS hub and the key navigation landmark on the parking map.
• The Cell Phone Lot is free and located at 560 North Bessie Coleman Drive near I-190.
• Off-site lots on Triply run from about $11/day to about $19/day, 2 to 2.7 miles from the airport; shuttle hours vary by lot.
• Active ORDNext construction in 2026 may cause minor detours near Terminal 1, so allow extra time.

What Does the O'Hare Airport Parking Map Show — and How Do You Use It?

The official O'Hare parking map shows the physical position of every lot and garage relative to the four terminals. Printable maps are available on the Chicago Department of Aviation's website and at information kiosks inside the airport. Using it is straightforward once you know the layout.

The map is organized around a central loop road called Bessie Coleman Drive, which connects all four terminals in a ring. The Main Garages attach directly to each terminal building. The Economy Lots (F, G, H) sit away from the terminal core; Lot F is inside the Multi-Modal Facility. The Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) appears near the center of the map: this is the ATS hub where all rail connections converge. The Cell Phone Lot sits at the far east edge near the I-190 interchange.

Here's how to use the map efficiently:

1. Find your airline's terminal (United → T1 or T2; American → T3; international carriers → T5).
2. Locate the parking garage attached to that terminal for the closest walk.
3. If you're staying more than two days, check the Economy Lots — they're cheaper and served by the free ATS.
4. Note the MMF on the map. The ATS stops here, making it easy to transfer between lots and terminals.
5. Before driving, check real-time traffic on Waze — I-190 backs up fast during rush hour.

Construction note (2026): The new $1.3B Concourse D broke ground near Terminal 1 in August 2025. Vertical construction is underway in spring 2026. Expect minor detours and signage changes near the Terminal 1 area. The ATS and Economy Lot access remain fully operational.

Where Are All the Parking Lots at O'Hare? (Full Map Breakdown by Zone)

O'Hare's parking splits into two clear zones: terminal garages (attached directly to each terminal) and remote economy lots (connected by the free ATS people mover). Here's a full breakdown.

Terminal Garage Zone (Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 5)

Each terminal has its own attached parking garage. These are the closest lots to the check-in doors — no shuttle or ATS train needed.

• Terminal 1 Garage — Serves United Airlines, ANA, and Lufthansa. Concourses B and C. Direct walkway into the terminal.
• Terminal 2 Garage — Serves United Express, Air Canada, and JetBlue. The CTA Blue Line station is also in Terminal 2's lower level.
• Terminal 3 Garage — Serves American Airlines and Oneworld partners including British Airways, Iberia, Japan Airlines, and Aer Lingus. Concourses G, H, K, and L.
• Terminal 5 Garage — Serves Delta, Southwest, Frontier, Spirit, Emirates, Air France, KLM, and all other international carriers on Concourse M. The Terminal 5 expansion completed in 2025 added 10 new gates and a 22,000 sq ft Delta Sky Club.

All four garages cap at a daily maximum of $43/day. Short stays in the Main Garage start at $3 for the first hour, $6 for two hours, and $14 for four hours (per the Chicago Department of Aviation, checked October 2026).

Economy Lot Zone (South and West of the Terminals)

The economy lots are farther from the terminals but significantly cheaper. All connect to the terminals via the free ATS people mover: Lot F sits at the Multi-Modal Facility, and Lots G and H run a shuttle bus there first.

• Economy Lot F: Covered parking on floors 4-5 of the Multi-Modal Facility. Max $30/day. Best option if you want weather protection. EV charging available.
• Economy Lot G: Tied with Lot H as the cheapest on-airport option at $16/day. Open-air. Shuttle bus to the MMF, then the ATS. Popular for weekly travel.
• Economy Lot H: Max $16/day, credit card only. Shuttle bus to the MMF, then the ATS.

For a deep dive on Lot G specifically, see our guide on O'Hare Airport Lot G rates, shuttle times, and tips.

The Multi-Modal Facility (MMF)

The MMF is the central ATS hub at O'Hare. It doesn't show up on most travelers' radar, but it's the most important landmark on the parking map. Economy Lot F sits inside it, shuttle buses from Lots G and H stop here, and it's the logical transfer point for buses, Metra trains (via the O'Hare Transfer station), and Pace suburban routes (223, 230, 250). If you park in an economy lot, you'll board the ATS at the MMF.

Cell Phone Lot

The Cell Phone Lot is at 560 North Bessie Coleman Drive, at the corner of Bessie Coleman Drive and I-190. It's completely free. Use it when picking someone up — wait here until your passenger texts you, then pull around to the terminal.

Which O'Hare Parking Lot Is Closest to Your Terminal?

The closest lot depends entirely on your airline. Here's the direct match between terminal and parking structure.

• Flying United Airlines or Lufthansa? Park in the Terminal 1 Garage. Walk directly into Concourses B or C.
• Flying JetBlue, Air Canada, or United Express? Use the Terminal 2 Garage. The CTA Blue Line station is also here if you're arriving by train.
• Flying American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, or Japan Airlines? The Terminal 3 Garage is your best bet. American operates Concourses G, H, K, and L.
• Flying Delta, Southwest, Emirates, Air France, or any other international carrier? Head to the Terminal 5 Garage on Concourse M.

If your airline uses a different terminal than where you parked, don't worry. The free ATS people mover connects all four terminals and the MMF, with shuttle buses linking Economy Lots G and H to the MMF. Buses and trains run every 5-10 minutes, 24 hours. You never need to move your car or pay for a second lot. For a full airline-by-terminal breakdown, see the O'Hare Airport Terminal Parking full guide.

How Do You Get from the Parking Lots to the O'Hare Terminals?

Your transit method depends on which lot you use. There are two options: walk directly, or ride the free ATS.

From Terminal Garages (Terminals 1, 2, 3, 5)

Walk. Each garage connects directly to its terminal via a covered walkway or skybridge. No train, no shuttle, no waiting. This is the main advantage of paying the higher $43/day rate.

From Economy Lots F, G, and H

The free Airport Transit System (ATS) runs automated trains between the MMF and all four terminals. Economy Lot F is inside the MMF; from Lots G and H, a shuttle bus takes you to the MMF first. Buses and trains run every 5-10 minutes, 24 hours a day, including holidays.

From Off-Site Lots

Off-site lots run their own shuttles to the ORD terminals, but hours vary by lot. Pride Airport Parking and Routes Airport Parking run on demand, 24 hours. Crowne Plaza runs every 30 minutes from 5 AM to 9:30 PM, and Marriott Suites O'Hare every 30 minutes from 5 AM to 10 PM (about a 10-minute ride). Hyatt Place Chicago/O'Hare runs every 40 minutes from 5 AM to 10:30 PM; allow about 20 minutes to park and 30-40 minutes for the ride. Super 8 Chicago O'Hare Airport has no shuttle, so you'd take an Uber or Lyft.

What Are the Cheapest Parking Options Near O'Hare Airport?

The cheapest on-airport options are Economy Lots G and H at $16/day. Some off-site lots beat that, but not all of them.

Parking at Super 8 at about $11/day versus the Terminal 1 Garage at $43/day saves you about 76% per day. On a 5-day trip, that's a difference of about $162. Against Economy Lots G and H at $16/day, Super 8 and Crowne Plaza are cheaper, Pride and Routes cost about the same, and Hyatt Place and Marriott Suites cost more. Off-site rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. Bookings on Triply include free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Is There EV Charging, Accessible Parking, or Oversized Vehicle Parking at O'Hare?

O'Hare covers all three. Here's what the parking map shows for each.

EV Charging at O'Hare

Economy Lot F has EV charging stations inside its covered structure. Off-site, Super 8 Chicago O'Hare Airport lists EV charging stations on-site. If you drive an electric vehicle, Lot F is your best on-airport option. EV chargers at O'Hare use the ChargePoint network; downloading the ChargePoint app before you arrive makes the process faster.

Accessible Parking

Accessible spaces are available in all four terminal garages and all three economy lots. Spaces are clearly marked and positioned near elevators and terminal entrances. No advance reservation is required for accessible spaces — just display your placard and pull in. The ATS is also fully accessible.

Oversized Vehicles

Standard parking garages have height restrictions, and the Main Garages are typically suited for standard passenger vehicles. If you're driving a tall SUV, van, or oversized vehicle, Economy Lot G is an open-air surface lot with no height clearance issues. Economy Lot F is a covered structure with an 8'4" clearance, so check your vehicle height before entering. When in doubt, open-air lots like Lot G are the safest choice for larger vehicles.

Payment Methods

Most on-airport lots accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, and Google Pay; Economy Lot H is credit card only. You can also pre-pay online via SpotHero for a guaranteed space, useful during holidays and peak travel weekends when lots fill up fast.

Plan Your ORD Parking Before You Arrive

The O'Hare airport parking map puts all options in one place, from the attached terminal garages at $43/day down to Economy Lots G and H at $16/day and off-site lots starting at about $11/day. The free ATS makes the economy lots genuinely convenient. The lowest-priced off-site lots offer the deepest savings, and Pride and Routes run on-demand shuttles 24 hours. Know your terminal, match it to the right lot, and you'll spend less time searching and more time at your gate.
