Orlando Airport

For trips longer than a few days, there are reasonably priced Orlando airport long term parking lots offsite where you can park your car in a vast parking lot for extended periods. These parking businesses provide free



transportation between the parking lot and the airport’s arrivals/departures areas. Follow the signs for long-term parking, or try this site about parking . Fees range between 5 and 8 dollars per day. Make sure you take attractive valuables (like radar detectors and stereo faceplates) with you when you leave the car. For shorter trips, more expensive parking is available within walking distance of the terminals. Expect to pay



between 12 and 24 dollars per day, with charges assessed for 30 minute increments.

TIP: For the same price, you can use Terminal Top Parking, which is exactly what it sounds like… parking on top of a terminal. This is the closest parking you can get at Orlando airport… just park your car, and take an elevator down into the main terminals. You’ll exit the elevator near the d_parture day spa. However, it’s best to try this very early in the morning, or at night. It’s usually crowded during the day. To get to Terminal Top Parking, just follow the signs for short-term parking / Hyatt Hotel Parking.

TIP: If you live in Florida and parking your own car, you can use your Sunpass or Epass now, instead of getting a ticket to enter the parking garages.

Getting Dropped Off

If someone is driving you to the airport, either a friend or a drop-off service like an airport bus or limo, you have two options. If you need to give your luggage to the airline, be sure you are dropped off at that airlines Departures door. And if you can check your luggage to a Skycap desk outside, we recommend you do so. It is usually faster than waiting in line inside.

If you only have carry-on luggage, you can take advantage of the design of the airport by getting dropped at Terminal A, no matter which airline you are using. It’s the shortest distance to either terminal. In a rush? This could save you several minutes as you run to your gate.
