Parking at LAX ranges from about 20–75 USD per day depending on where you park and how close you want to be to the terminals.

LAX Parking – Quick Scoop

Main official LAX lots (on-airport)

Central Terminal Area (CTA) parking structures – closest to terminals.

Typical drive-up rates:

  • First hour: around 9–11 USD.
  • Each additional 30 minutes: around 7–9 USD.
  • Daily maximum: about 60–75 USD per 24 hours (higher for premium/valet).

Premium / Valet in terminal garages:

  • Valet in some structures (P1, P3, P4, P7).
  • Daily max often around 75 USD+ per day.

Economy & budget options (official)

LAX Economy Parking (off-terminal, shuttle ride):

  • First hour: roughly 8 USD.
  • Each additional 30 minutes: about 7 USD.
  • Daily maximum: around 30–35 USD per 24 hours.

Budget-style official parking (where available):

  • Around 5 USD per hour.
  • Daily max often around 20 USD per 24 hours.

Rule of thumb: if you’re okay taking a shuttle and parking a bit farther, Economy/Budget can cut your cost roughly in half compared with the closest terminal garages.

Off-site LAX parking (private lots)

Around the airport, many private lots and garages offer lower daily rates with free shuttles to the terminals.

Typical current ranges:

  • Outdoor self-park: from about 7–10 USD per day when booked online in advance.
  • Indoor / covered or valet: roughly 12–35+ USD per day depending on how premium it is and discounts.

Example (just to give a feel for pricing, not a recommendation):

  • One popular off-site valet garage advertises an online rate near 35 USD/day, with loyalty or promo discounts dropping it into the low 20s per day.

Quick planning tips

  • For a few hours: park in terminal garages; cost will mostly depend on hourly rates up to the daily cap.
  • For multi-day trips: compare Economy/Budget vs. off-site lots; off-site often wins on price, especially if you book online.
  • For very late or tight connections: pay extra for terminal or premium parking to save time walking and waiting for shuttles.

Always double-check LAX’s official site or your chosen lot right before your trip, since parking prices and discounts can change.
