What Is the Reagan National Airport Parking Phone Number?

Reagan National Airport has two separate parking phone numbers, and knowing which one to call saves you time. (703) 417-4300 connects you to the main parking customer service office. (703) 417-7275 is the 24/7 roadside assistance line.

Most travelers calling about a reservation, a billing question, or a lost ticket should dial (703) 417-4300. This line handles general parking inquiries during normal business hours. If you need help after hours — a dead battery, a flat tire, or a car you can't locate — call (703) 417-7275 instead. That line stays open around the clock.

You can also reach the parking team through the official DCA parking FAQ page, which answers many common questions without needing to call at all.

How Much Does Reagan National Airport Parking Cost in 2026?

Reagan National Airport offers three on-site parking options managed by MWAA. The on-airport rates below are drive-up rates checked on flyreagan.com in October 2026. Triply does not sell on-airport parking; the two off-site hotel lots at the bottom of the table are the ones you can book on Triply.

The two off-site hotel lots Triply sells near DCA start at about $9/day (Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria) and about $11/day (Westin Crystal City). That is about 69% to 74% less than the $35/day garage rate and about 57% to 64% less than the $25/day Economy Lot. Over 7 days, that works out to about $62 to $76, against $245 in Parking 1 or Parking 2 at the daily maximum and $175 in the Economy Lot. For a full breakdown of every lot and rate, see our Reagan Airport parking cost guide.

How Do You Reserve Reagan Airport Parking Over the Phone?

You can reserve on-airport parking by calling (703) 417-4300 during business hours. Have your travel dates, flight details, and a credit or debit card ready before you call.

Here's what the phone reservation process typically involves:

1. Call (703) 417-4300 and select the parking reservations option
2. Provide your arrival date, departure date, and preferred lot (Parking 1, Parking 2, or Economy)
3. Give your vehicle information (make, model, license plate)
4. Pay by credit or debit card to hold your spot
5. You'll receive a confirmation number — save it
6. On arrival, use your QR code or confirmation number at the entry gate

Online booking at reserve.flyreagan.com is faster and available 24/7. Online reservations require at least 12 hours' advance notice. Phone reservations may have different lead-time requirements — ask when you call. Either way, booking ahead is strongly recommended. The Economy Lot currently has up to 1,100 spaces unavailable due to construction on a new $40M parking deck.

What Parking Options Are Available at Reagan National Airport?

DCA has three on-airport lots, and Triply sells parking at two off-site hotel lots nearby. The airport holds a total of 8,500 parking spaces across all facilities (per MWAA).

On-Airport Parking

• Parking 1: attached garage for Terminal 1 (Gates A1 to A9); serves Southwest, Frontier, Air Canada Express; $35/day maximum
• Parking 2: attached garage for Terminal 2 (Concourses B, C, D, E); serves American, Delta, United, Alaska, JetBlue; $35/day maximum
• Economy Lot: surface lot with a free shuttle to all terminals every 10 minutes; $25/day; capacity reduced about 40% during construction

Off-Airport Hotel Parking (with free shuttles)

• Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria (801 N St Asaph St, Alexandria): about $9/day, listed 2.6 miles from DCA (about a 10-minute drive). Parking is in a covered, underground garage on Level P2. Complimentary shuttle 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM, every hour on the hour.
• Westin Crystal City (1800 Richmond Highway, Arlington): about $11/day, listed 0.8 miles from DCA. Underground garage. Free shuttle 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM, every 30 minutes, with registered hotel guests boarding first.

Neither shuttle runs 24/7. The Sheraton Suites shuttle does not run from 11 PM to 7 AM, and the Westin shuttle does not run from 10:30 PM to 4:30 AM, so you would need your own ride for very early flights or late arrivals. The WMATA Yellow Line Metro is a solid backup.

How Does the Economy Lot Shuttle Work at Reagan National Airport?

The Economy Lot runs its own free shuttle service to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Shuttles run on a regular loop — just wait at the designated pickup area after parking.

The shuttle drops you at each terminal entrance. Keep your parking ticket or QR code for re-entry. On the return, find the Economy Lot shuttle stop inside the terminal (signs are posted). Factor in extra time for the shuttle ride, especially during peak hours. Always give yourself at least 30 extra minutes when using the Economy Lot versus walking directly from a terminal garage.

For travelers who need a cheap long-term option and don't mind the shuttle, the Economy Lot at $25/day beats both terminal garages in price. For long-term parking tips and a full lot-by-lot comparison, see our Reagan Airport long-term parking guide.

Is Parking at Reagan National Airport Affected by Construction?

Yes — and it matters for your trip. A $40M parking deck is currently under construction above the Economy Lot. Phase 1 added 939 new spaces (February 2026). Phase 2 will add 1,230 more (expected May 2026). Until then, up to 1,100 of the Economy Lot's 2,680 spaces are unavailable.

The Cell Phone Lot is temporarily closed during construction. If you're picking someone up, use Parking 1 or Parking 2 instead — both offer the first 60 minutes free, so a quick pickup costs nothing. Construction advisories are posted at flyreagan.com/construction-advisories. The broader DCA Reimagined renovation is also in progress, upgrading concessions and restrooms throughout Terminal 2.

The bottom line: reserve your parking spot before you drive. Walk-up availability — especially at the Economy Lot — is not guaranteed right now. Book online at reserve.flyreagan.com or call (703) 417-4300 to hold a space in advance.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Parking at Reagan Airport?

If on-airport parking feels expensive or uncertain during construction, several solid alternatives exist.

Metro (Metrorail)

The WMATA Yellow Line connects Reagan National Airport directly to downtown DC in about 10 minutes. The Blue Line also serves DCA. The Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Metro station is connected to Terminal 2 by an elevated walkway. For Terminal 1, a short shuttle or walk is needed. This is the easiest, most affordable option if you're coming from the DC or Arlington area.

Rideshare and Taxi

Uber and Lyft both serve DCA from designated pickup zones. Check Uber's DCA airport page for current pickup instructions. Taxis are also available curbside.

Off-Site Hotel Parking

Triply sells parking at two off-site hotel lots near DCA, at about $9/day (Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria) and about $11/day (Westin Crystal City), well below the $35/day terminal garages. Both include a free shuttle with online purchase, though the hours differ, so check them against your flight time. Before you commit to on-airport parking, compare DCA parking options from about $9/day on Triply to find the best rate for your travel dates. You can also browse discount codes and packages in our Reagan Airport parking coupon guide.

Before you drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — the George Washington Memorial Parkway and Interstate 395 can back up badly during rush hour, and it affects how early you need to leave.

Compare DCA parking rates. The off-site lots Triply sells near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport cost about 69% to 74% less per day than the $35/day terminal garages.
