You have three main options for cheap long-stay parking at Philadelphia Airport. One is to park on-site in the Philadelphia Parking Authority's economy car park. Option two is to park off-site, with 13 parking lots within a four-mile range of the airport. Out-of-town travelers with an early flight can book into an airport hotel, such as the Wyndham Garden, where parking is included in the room price.

Free shuttle service is provided to airport terminals, as well as emergency services such as flat tire replacement and lock-out service. Most have 24-hour security, with the on-site lot being patrolled by Philadelphia PD.
Paying extra for indoor parking is a good idea in winter, to avoid de-icing your car on your return.
