Boston Airport ParkingBoston Logan International Airport (BOS)

Boston Logan International Airport sits just 3 miles northeast of downtown Boston on a peninsula in Boston Harbor — making it one of the closest major international airports to a downtown core in the United States. Logan handles 43.24 million passengers per year across four terminals (A, B, C, E) and is JetBlue Airways' largest focus city globally.

On-airport parking at BOS is straightforward but pricey. Central Parking and Terminal B Garage cost $46/day at the gate, with advance reservations as low as $29/day. Economy Parking is $37/day ($29 with advance reservation). Logan Express buses from suburban stations cost just $7/day for parking + $9 each way for the bus.

Off-airport parking through Triply typically costs less than half of Central Parking's walk-up rate; the lot list on this page shows current per-day rates, and a search with your dates shows your total with taxes and fees. Every bookable lot offers a shuttle to the terminals — free at all but one, and three run it around the clock.

Park N Boston Logan Airport Parking — Free 24/7 shuttle, 2.7 miles out. Runs every 30 minutes, around the clock, and the lot is staffed 24/7. Valet-style: you leave your keys with the attendant. Pickups, oversized SUVs and vans pay an extra $10/day at the lot.

Se-lect Airport Valet Parking — Valet lot at the Hampton Inn, 2.5 miles out. Free 24/7 shuttle every 20 minutes with luggage help, for up to 4 passengers. Car wash and car care available while you travel. No vehicles larger than a pickup truck.

PreFlight Airport Parking — Closest bookable lot at 1.8 miles. Self-park (keep your keys). Free 24/7 shuttle every 10 minutes that picks you up at your car. Fenced, staffed 24/7, with EV charging stations.

Ramada by Wyndham Boston — Hotel lot 5.2 miles out. Free on-demand shuttle 6 AM–10 PM only — no shuttle overnight, so check your flight time.

Broadway Motor Service — Low pre-booked rates, 2.7 miles out in Revere, but the shuttle isn't included in the rate — it's $16 each way, so a round trip adds $32 to whatever the lot list shows. Plan a drop-off or rideshare if that's cheaper for you. Oil changes, repairs, car washes and detailing can be added while you travel.

Logan offers something almost no other major U.S. airport does: FREE public transit from the airport to downtown. The MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus picks up at every terminal curbside and runs to South Station in downtown Boston in 15–17 minutes — completely free from the airport.

That's free transit to South Station, which connects to:

• Red Line — Cambridge, Harvard Square, MIT/Kendall

• Commuter Rail — Worcester, Providence, North Shore, South Shore

• Amtrak — New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C.

• Free transfer at Silver Line Way to other Silver Line routes

For travelers headed downtown, no other major U.S. airport offers free transit. This is BOS's biggest competitive advantage. A round trip on the Silver Line for two people costs $4.80–$5.80 (only the return trip is paid). That's less than ONE day of any on-airport parking option.

The Blue Line at Airport Station is the alternative — $2.40 with CharlieCard, accessed via a free Massport on-airport shuttle from any terminal. Slightly slower but provides direct subway access to Downtown Crossing, Government Center, and North Station.

Multiple capital improvements are underway across all four terminals:

• Terminal A-B Connector — Approved May 2024. Will link Terminals A and B post-security so transferring passengers no longer need to re-clear security. Multi-year construction.

• Terminal E Parking Garage — A new 5,000-space multi-level garage with solar panels on facade and roof is under construction. Completion ~2028. Replaces the currently-closed Terminal E surface lots.

• Terminal C 2026 Upgrades — Larger Gate C10 hold room, modernized security checkpoint, refreshed restrooms, and new Kidport opening early 2026.

• JetBlue BlueHouse BOS — Opening 2026 in Terminal C near Gate C23. 11,000 sq ft — 40% larger than JetBlue's JFK lounge.

• Terminal B Renovation — Multi-year modernization in progress.

The airport remains fully operational. Terminal E surface parking is closed until the new garage opens. No major delays expected to passenger flow.

• Use the Silver Line SL1 if downtown-bound — Free from airport to South Station. Beats every parking option on cost for downtown trips.

• Pre-book on-airport for $29/day — Walk-up parking is $46/day at Central. Advance reservations drop that to $29/day — a $17/day savings.

• Logan Express from the suburbs — If you're driving from Back Bay, Braintree, Danvers, Framingham, or Woburn, Logan Express is $7/day parking + $9 each way for the bus. A 5-day trip costs ~$53 vs ~$185 at Central with reservation.

• Check the shuttle before you book — Broadway Motor Service's shuttle is $16 each way (not included in the rate), and Ramada's shuttle stops 10 PM–6 AM. For red-eyes, pick a 24/7 shuttle lot (Park N Boston, Se-lect, PreFlight).

• Watch for nor'easters in winter — Major winter storms can shut Logan for 12–24 hours. Build buffer time November–March, especially January–February.

• Allow time for fog — Coastal fog in spring and fall mornings can delay early departures. Usually clears by mid-morning.

• Massport shuttle is free — Free 24/7 shuttle (Routes 11/22/33/55/66/88) connects all terminals to parking, Rental Car Center, Airport Blue Line Station, and Water Taxi Dock. Every 5–15 minutes.
