Palm Beach International Airport Economy Parking: $8/Day, Shuttle and Walk (2026)

As of October 2026, Palm Beach International Airport economy parking costs $8/day ($2 per 20 minutes up to the cap), the lowest rate at the airport. The lot is about a 5-minute walk from the terminal, and a free shuttle runs 24 hours Sunday to Thursday, with short early-morning gaps on Friday and Saturday. A week costs $56.

This page covers the Economy lot for long trips; our PBI parking guide covers every lot, the cell phone lot and pick-ups.

PBI Economy Parking Rates

Economy charges $2 per 20 minutes and caps at $8 for each day, counted from when you enter.

Totals are our estimates from the airport’s posted Economy rate. No weekly rate is published. For every lot side by side, see our PBI parking rates and fees.

The Economy Shuttle Schedule

The free shuttle runs 24 hours a day Sunday through Thursday, but not 1 to 3 AM on Friday or 1 to 4 AM on Saturday.

• From the lot: walk to the nearest bus stop and press the call button inside it.
• From the terminal: leave Level 1 Arrivals and follow the Economy Shuttle signs. Cross from Domestic Baggage Claim, near carousels 4 and 5, to the outer curb where the rental car buses stop. Press the call button on the wall; the bus typically arrives in 10 to 15 minutes.
• When the shuttle is off: call 561-471-7459.

Walking From Economy to the Terminal

Yes, you can walk: the airport says the Economy lot is about 5 minutes on foot from the terminal.

The walkway to the terminal is across from bus stop 5. That makes Economy a practical choice even during the weekend early-morning shuttle gaps. Our West Palm Beach airport parking map guide shows the lot's position south-east of the terminal.

Paying in the Economy Lot

You can pay with a card or SunPass at any time, and with cash when a cashier is on duty.

There is no cashier between 1 AM and 8:30 AM. If you return on a red-eye, have a card ready, or use a SunPass Plus account in the SunPass lane.

Accessible Parking in Economy

Accessible spaces are at bus stops 6 and 7, at the south end of the lot, and cost the same $8 a day with a blue placard.

Free parking applies only to vehicles with a Florida DV plate, specialized equipment such as ramps, lifts or hand controls, or a Florida Toll Exemption Permit.

Economy vs Long-Term Parking at PBI

Economy saves $6 a day over the Long-Term garage, which adds up to $42 on a one-week trip.

Totals are our estimates from the daily maximums. Long-Term gets you a garage (or one of its side lots) with direct terminal access on Level 2 and no shuttle wait. If you want to be even closer, our short-term parking guide for PBI covers the garage beside the terminal.

Rules for Long-Term Parking at PBI

• 30 days maximum: after that the car is treated as abandoned and towed. Call Parking at (561) 471-7459 first for a longer trip.
• Oversized vehicles: a vehicle using more than one space pays for each space. No commercial vehicles or fifth-wheel trailers.
• Hurricanes: standard rates apply during storms.
• Lost ticket: the daily maximum for each 24 hours, or part of one.

Tips for Economy Parking at PBI

A little planning makes Economy as easy as the garages.

• Note your bus stop number. The stops are numbered, so write down the nearest one before you leave the car.
• Check the map first. The official PBI parking map shows the Economy lot's position relative to the terminal and garages.
• Allow time for the shuttle. From the terminal side, the airport says the bus typically comes 10 to 15 minutes after you press the call button.
• Flying early on a weekend? Walk if the shuttle is in its Friday or Saturday overnight gap, and leave time for security; TSA lists what you can carry through.
• Bring a card for late returns. No cashier works from 1 AM to 8:30 AM.

Off-Site Parking vs Economy

For our sample week, Economy was cheaper than the off-site lot we sell.

Triply prices are for a sample 7-day booking (check-in 10 AM on 13 November, check-out 2 PM on 19 November 2026), include taxes and fees, and change by date. The Marriott costs about $5.70 more for that week; it makes sense if you are staying or heading downtown, or want the space prepaid. Confirm the shuttle with the hotel at 561-833-1234.
