PDX Airport Hotels with Free Parking: 2026 Rates & Guide

Back to Portland Airport Hotel Park and Fly Guide | Complete PDX Airport Parking Guide

PDX airport hotel parking means leaving your car in a hotel lot near Portland International Airport while you fly. Triply sells parking only at three lots near PDX, and none of them is free: rates run from about $10/day to about $15/day, all within 2 miles of the terminal and each with an airport shuttle. Two are hotel lots, Holiday Inn Portland Airport and Radisson Portland Airport, and the third is AirPark Portland, a dedicated parking lot. Compare rates at Triply's live PDX search.

• Cheapest hotel parking at PDX: Holiday Inn Portland Airport at about $10/day (4-day minimum), with a shuttle every 20 minutes from 3 AM to 11 AM and on call the rest of the day.
• Radisson Portland Airport is about $12/day, with a shuttle every 30 minutes at :15 and :45 past the hour. You must call to reserve your seat within 24 hours before arrival, and availability is limited.
• On-airport comparison: PDX Economy costs $15/day (7th day free) and the Long-Term Garage costs $24/day. Both are first come, first served, with no reservations.
• For a 7-night trip, Holiday Inn Portland Airport is about $29 less than PDX Economy and Radisson Portland Airport is about $9 less. AirPark Portland costs about $16 more than Economy.
• All three lots on Triply offer free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, which the airport's unreservable lots cannot match.
• PDX Next update: Phase 2 of the $2 billion terminal redevelopment is completing in 2026. Allow extra time inside the terminal.

What Are the Best PDX Airport Hotels with Free Parking?

Triply sells parking at two hotel lots near PDX, the Holiday Inn Portland Airport (8439 NE Columbia Blvd, listed 1.9 miles from the airport) and the Radisson Portland Airport (6233 NE 78th Ct, listed 1.6 miles). Parking is all you book; no room is included. A third option, AirPark Portland (6935 NE 82nd Avenue, listed 1.4 miles), is a dedicated parking facility, not a hotel. It has a free 24-hour on-demand shuttle that picks you up at your car, from about $15/day.

Here is how the three off-site PDX lots on Triply compare side by side with the airport's own Economy and Long-Term lots:

On-airport rates are from flypdx.com/Parking (checked October 2026). Triply rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. On-airport lots do not accept reservations, so spaces are first come, first served.

How Much Does a Park-and-Fly Package at PDX Cost?

A park-and-fly booking at PDX means parking at a lot near the airport at a lower daily rate than the airport charges. Triply sells parking only, not rooms. Parking at Holiday Inn Portland Airport runs about $10/day (minimum 4-day stay). For a 7-night trip the checkout is $76.32, compared with $105 in PDX's Economy Lot for the same window (Economy's 7th day is free, so exactly 7 days there is $90).

Radisson Portland Airport at about $12/day checks out at $95.90 for the same 7 nights, about $9 less than Economy. Against the on-airport Long-Term Garage at $24/day ($184 for that window), the Holiday Inn saves about $108. AirPark Portland, at $120.95, costs about $16 more than Economy but still about $63 less than the Long-Term Garage. For a full breakdown of on-airport weekly costs, see our PDX long term parking cost guide.

One important note: the Holiday Inn requires a 4-day minimum booking, so it is out for 1 to 3 day trips. For short trips, compare the Radisson (no minimum stated, but availability is limited and you must reserve a shuttle seat by phone) and AirPark Portland with PDX Economy at $15/day.

Which PDX Airport Hotels Include a Free Shuttle to the Terminal?

All three lots have an airport shuttle, but only AirPark Portland's shuttle is listed as free. The Holiday Inn and Radisson listings do not say their shuttles are free, so check the details when you book. Here is how each one works:

Holiday Inn Portland Airport Shuttle

• Departs from the hotel to PDX every 20 minutes from 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM
• On call from 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM
• Airport pickups available on call, 24/7: call 503-256-5000 after you collect your bags
• On arrival, show your reservation at the front desk for a validation code, then register your car by scanning the QR code

Radisson Portland Airport Shuttle

• Runs 24/7, departing at :15 and :45 past each hour (every 30 minutes)
• You must reserve your seat by phone (503-251-2000) within 24 hours before arrival
• Maximum 4 passengers per reservation; larger groups must contact the hotel 48 hours ahead
• For your return, call the hotel and wait at Island #2 (middle island)

AirPark Portland, while not a hotel, has the most convenient shuttle of the three. Its free, on-demand, 24-hour shuttle picks you up at your car and takes you straight to the terminal, with no waiting at a designated stop. For your return, call 503-257-2559. Note that AirPark does not accept oversized vehicles such as Sprinter or Transit vans, extended beds or four-door pickups.

How Far Are PDX Airport Hotels from the Terminal — and How Long Is the Shuttle Ride?

Portland International Airport sits 12 miles northeast of downtown Portland, off NE Airport Way near I-205. The three lots are listed 1.4 to 1.9 miles from the terminal. The Radisson lists a 5 to 10 minute drive and AirPark about 5 minutes. Traffic on NE Airport Way and I-205 is generally light at the hours most travelers are departing, but it pays to check real-time traffic on Waze on the day of your flight.

Allow at least 20 to 25 minutes from the time you park to the time you reach your check-in counter. That accounts for checking in at the lot, the shuttle wait and ride, and the walk from the drop-off point to the terminal entrance. Add more time if you have checked bags or are flying out of Concourse E (Southwest, United), which is farther from the main entry.

Is It Cheaper to Park at a PDX Hotel Than in the Airport's Own Lots?

Mostly yes. For a week-long trip, Holiday Inn Portland Airport and Radisson Portland Airport cost less than every on-airport option, including Economy. AirPark Portland costs about the same as Economy per day and more over a week. Here is the quick comparison:

• Holiday Inn Portland Airport: about $10/day, or $76.32 for 7 nights, about $29 less than Economy ($105 for the same window)
• Radisson Portland Airport: about $12/day, or $95.90 for 7 nights, about $9 less than Economy
• AirPark Portland: about $15/day, or $120.95 for 7 nights, about $16 more than Economy but about $63 less than the Long-Term Garage ($184)
• PDX Economy Lot: $15/day (7th day free), the cheapest on-airport option, but no reservations and no guarantee of a space
• PDX Long-Term Garage: $24/day, connected to the terminal by tunnel

The biggest advantage of an off-site lot over the airport's own lots is the ability to reserve your space in advance. PDX's on-airport lots are first come, first served, with no reservations accepted, per flypdx.com. During peak travel periods (summer, Thanksgiving, spring break), the Economy Lot can fill up. Booking through Triply gets you a prepaid space before you arrive. For tips on timing your booking, see our guide to cheap Portland airport parking.

If you have a TSA PreCheck membership, you can also factor in extra time saved at security. See TSA PreCheck enrollment options if you fly frequently — it pairs well with the time you save by staying close to the airport the night before.

How Do You Choose Between the Three PDX Parking Lots?

Not every traveler needs the same thing. Triply sells parking only at these lots, with no rooms or park-sleep-fly packages. Here is how to match the right one to your trip:

Best for budget travelers: Holiday Inn Portland Airport

• Lowest daily parking rate: about $10/day
• Gated self-park lot with a 24/7 front desk
• Shuttle every 20 minutes from 3 AM to 11 AM, on call otherwise
• Requires a 4-day minimum parking booking
• Best for trips of 4+ nights where savings compound quickly

Best for flexible schedules: Radisson Portland Airport

• Shuttle every 30 minutes, 24/7, at :15 and :45 past the hour
• Park rate: about $12/day, no minimum stay stated
• Works for red-eye departures or late-night arrivals if you have reserved your shuttle seat
• Must reserve shuttle seat by phone within 24 hours before arrival
• Availability is limited, so book early

Best for convenience and heavy bags: AirPark Portland

• Free, on-demand, 24-hour shuttle picks you up directly at your car
• No walking to a hotel lobby or shuttle stop
• Around-the-clock surveillance
• Rate: about $15/day, the highest of the three and about the same per day as PDX Economy ($16 more over a 7-night trip)
• No oversized vehicles

All three lots offer free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in when booked through Triply. That matters if your plans fall through, and the airport's own lots cannot offer it since they take no reservations at all.

How Do PDX Airport Hotel Shuttle Schedules Work for Early Flights?

Early morning flights are where lot shuttles either shine or let you down. PDX is busiest in the early morning, with many departures between 6 and 9 AM. The Holiday Inn shuttle runs every 20 minutes starting at 3:00 AM, early enough for most pre-dawn check-ins. The Radisson runs at :15 and :45 past the hour around the clock, so the wait is never more than 30 minutes, as long as you have reserved your seat by phone.

For an early morning flight, plan your departure from the hotel based on this simple checklist:

1. Check your terminal: Concourse B and C (Alaska, American, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier) are closest to the main entry. Concourse E (Southwest, United) is farther inside.
2. Add 10 minutes for the shuttle ride from hotel to terminal drop-off.
3. Add 30–45 minutes for security — longer during peak hours. Review TSA security screening guidelines so you know what to expect.
4. Allow at least 20 minutes to reach your gate after clearing security.
5. Total buffer from hotel shuttle to gate: aim for 90 minutes minimum for domestic flights.

PDX's PDX Next terminal redevelopment (Phase 2 completing in 2026) has improved the flow inside the new main terminal considerably. The new mass-timber terminal that opened in August 2024 expanded the ticketing and lobby area significantly. Walking distances are normalizing as Phase 2 wraps up, but build in extra time if you are unfamiliar with the updated layout.

PDX Airport Quick Facts: Location, Concourses, and Getting Around

Portland International Airport (PDX) is Portland's only commercial airport, operated by the Port of Portland. It handles 90% of Oregon's passenger air traffic and sits 12 miles northeast of downtown Portland off NE Airport Way and I-205. The airport has four active concourses:

• Concourse B: Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, JetBlue, American Airlines
• Concourse C: Alaska, American, Allegiant, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Spirit, Sun Country, Volaris, Contour
• Concourse D: Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Icelandair
• Concourse E: Southwest Airlines, United Airlines

If you prefer not to drive, PDX is served by the TriMet MAX Red Line light rail, which runs directly to downtown Portland in about 38 minutes for a $2.80 fare. That makes PDX one of the few US airports where skipping a car entirely is a realistic option for Portland residents. For travelers flying in from other cities, the hotel shuttle is almost always the fastest and cheapest way to get from PDX to your parking spot.

PDX airport hotel parking gives you a prepaid space, an airport shuttle, and rates below what the airport itself charges at two of the three lots. For a 7-night trip, Holiday Inn Portland Airport is about $29 less than PDX Economy, and far less than the garages. Compare PDX parking rates from about $10/day on Triply and book with free cancellation up to 24 hours before check-in.
