Rochester NY Airport Parking Rates: $8 to $24/Day by Lot, Short-Term From $2 (2026)

As of October 2026, Rochester NY airport parking rates run from $8/day in the Yellow shuttle lot to $24/day in the Hourly Lot, with the Weekly Lot at $12/day or $72/week and the Garage at $16/day. Short stays start at $2 for the first hour. An off-site lot on Triply came to about $4.50/day for a sample week.

This page sets out every rate, what common trips cost and how to pay less. For lot locations, the shuttle and pick-up rules, see the main Rochester airport parking guide.

ROC Parking Rates by Lot

Every ROC lot has its own rate, and the daily maximum applies per 24 hours.

These are the airport's published parking rates; the airport's map also lists the garage roof at $14/day. The airport does not say whether the rates include tax.

Short-Term Parking: The Hourly Lot

Short-term parking at ROC is the Hourly Lot (Purple), at $2 for the first hour and $1 for each extra half hour.

It is an outdoor lot a short walk from the terminal, and it is the lot the airport suggests if you want to walk a passenger in or meet them at baggage claim. The price caps at $24 per 24 hours, which you reach after 12 hours. The Hourly Lot page has a calculator. For quick pick-ups, the free Cell Phone Lot is cheaper still, as long as you stay with your car.

What Common Trips Cost

Under 2 hours the Hourly Lot is cheaper than the garage, from 2 to 8 hours they cost the same on the hour, and past 8 hours the garage is cheaper; the Yellow shuttle lot is cheapest at every length of stay.

These are worked out from the published rates. A week in the Weekly Lot is $72. Our ROC long-term parking guide compares the week-long options in more detail, and the garage rates and reservations page covers covered parking.

How to Save on ROC Parking

The biggest saving is picking the right lot for your trip length; after that, the airport's rewards program and an off-site lot can bring the price down.

• Match the lot to the trip. For a day or longer, the Yellow shuttle lot at $8/day costs half the garage and a third of the Hourly Lot.
• Join Parking Rewards. The MAPCO Parking Rewards program is free. You earn 1 point for every $1 you pay at any airport lot. Once you have 200 points, every 20 points takes $1 off, with no black-out dates, and points don't expire while the program runs.
• Skip the pay line with Zoom E-Z. A registered NYS E-ZPass opens the gates and bills your card, at no extra parking cost.
• Use the free Cell Phone Lot for pick-ups instead of the Hourly Lot.

The airport and MAPCO don't publish promo or coupon codes or a prepaid rate for the official lots; the only advance booking they list is a reserved garage space, whose price isn't published.

Off-Site Parking Cost

For our sample week, the one off-site lot on Triply cost less than any official lot.

Motel 6 Rochester Airport, at 1273 Chili Avenue, 1.3 miles from the terminal, came to $31.60 (about $4.50/day), paid online. For the same 6-day, 4-hour stay, the Yellow Lot would be about $52 (last 4 hours charged by the hour) to $56 (charged as a seventh day), so the off-site lot was roughly $20 to $24 less. The free shuttle runs 24/7 on demand, but allow 30 to 45 minutes for pick-up when you return, and note the lot does not clear snow from around or on your car. You get a 100% refund if you cancel up to the day of arrival.

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 fees, and change by date.

Paying for Parking

All ROC lots take major credit and debit cards, and cash at the pay-on-foot machines or Lane 1 of the main exit plaza.

When no cashier is on duty, automated credit-card-only lanes are open at the exit plaza. The airport does not publish a lost-ticket fee; for help, call MAPCO at (585) 292-4900.
