Midway Airport Parking
Book your parking
Parking at Chicago Midway International Airport is convenient and well organized, with several parking options designed for both short visits and long-term stays. The airport provides parking facilities within walking distance of the terminal as well as lower-cost lots connected by shuttle buses. Whether you are dropping off a passenger, leaving your vehicle for a few days, or planning a longer trip, Midway offers a parking solution to suit different needs and budgets.
Below is an overview of the main parking options available at the airport.
Terminal Garage – Hourly Parking
The Terminal Garage Hourly parking is the closest option to the terminal building and is ideal for short stays, quick pick-ups, or dropping off passengers. It is located directly adjacent to the main terminal, making it the most convenient parking area for travelers who want immediate access to check-in counters and security checkpoints.
Hourly parking is located on Level 1 of the Terminal Garage, just a short walk from the terminal entrance.

- 0 minutes to 1 hour: $4.00
- 1 to 2 hours: $8.00

If you only need to pick someone up from the airport, this garage is the fastest option. However, for longer stays it becomes expensive quickly, so it is generally better suited for visits of just a few hours.
Terminal Garage – Daily Parking
The Terminal Garage Daily parking offers the same convenient location as the hourly section but at more reasonable rates for longer stays. This area occupies Levels 2 through 6 of the main parking garage, directly connected to the terminal building.
Because it is attached to the terminal, travelers can walk to check-in in just a few minutes without needing a shuttle bus.
Rates
- 0 to 1 hour: $4.00
- 1 to 2 hours: $8.00
- 2 to 3 hours: $12.00
- 3 to 4 hours: $16.00
- 4 to 8 hours: $20.00
- 8 to 24 hours: $40.00
Prices are subject to change.
This option is ideal for weekend trips or short business travel when proximity to the terminal is more important than saving a few dollars.
Daily Lot
The Daily Lot provides a more economical alternative to the terminal garage while still offering convenient access to the airport. It is located at 55th Street and Kilpatrick Avenue, with the entrance and exit on Kilpatrick Avenue.
Passengers park their vehicles in this outdoor lot and take a dedicated shuttle bus to the terminal building. The shuttle service runs regularly and typically reaches the terminal within a few minutes.
Payment is accepted by credit card only.
Rates
- 0 to 1 hour: $4.00
- 1 to 24 hours: $30.00
Prices are subject to change.
Although the Daily Lot works well for short stays, it is usually not recommended for overnight trips. Travelers planning multi-day travel may find the Economy Parking option significantly cheaper.
Economy Parking
For travelers looking for the most affordable long-term parking, the Economy Parking facilities are the best option at Midway Airport.
There are two economy parking locations:
- One near the Car Rental Facility
- Another next to the Daily Parking Lot
The Economy Garage is located west of S. Cicero Avenue and north of 55th Street.
Free shuttle buses run every 10–15 minutes between the economy parking areas and the terminal building, operating throughout the day.
Rates
- 0 to 1 hour: $4.00
- 1 to 24 hours: $15.00
Prices are subject to change.
Economy parking is the best value for trips longer than two days. Even with the short shuttle ride, it can save travelers a considerable amount compared with the terminal garage.
Reserved Parking
Travelers who prefer a guaranteed space close to the terminal can choose Reserved Parking. This premium option is located on Level 4 of the Main Terminal Garage, allowing passengers to park very close to the terminal entrance.
The reservation fee is $10 per space per day, in addition to the standard parking rate.
