Serving the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, the Philadelphia International Airport is located seven miles from downtown. The Philadelphia Parking Authority manages more than 17,000 parking spaces in the terminal and economy lots.
As of 2010, garage parking for vehicles less than six feet tall is available in terminals A, B, C, D, E and F. Parking here costs $3 for .5 hour, $5 for one hour, $15 for three hours and $20 for 24 hours.
Short-term parking is available on the ground level of terminal garages. Overnight parking isn't allowed, and this parking has the most expensive daily rate at $38 for up to 24 hours, as of 2010.
Located in a remote exterior lot past Terminal F, economy parking costs a flat daily rate of $11, as of 2010, and includes access to a 24-hour shuttle to and from the terminal. Buses, trailers, semi-trucks and vehicles weighing more than 9,000 pounds are not permitted in this lot.
Many private companies offer less expensive parking options off-site including shuttle service to and from the airport with prices starting at approximately $7 daily, with some offering 24-hour security.
