Cheap Parking Los Angeles International
Los Angeles International or LAX by it’s airport’s coded is the Airport of first choice for the greater Los-Angeles area. Passenger volumes were recorded in excess of 70.6 million in 2014, exceeding the record set in 2000. It also is one of the few Airports in the USA to have 4 parallel runways.
Parking at Los Angeles International has 8 Parking lots adjoined to the main Airport terminals. It also has an Economy Lot about a quarter of a mile out from the main terminal. The Address for this lot can be found at 96 Street and Sepulveda Boulevard. Surrounding the Airport are several private lots with a variety of options that present cheap lax parking rates.
Lets compare some of these rates:
Central Terminal Parking Structures (8 Lots)
- Daily Parking – $30 incl Taxes (Max for 24hrs)
- Hourly Parking – $3
- Half Hourly – $2
- Distance – 0 miles
Economy Parking Lot C
- Daily Parking – $12 incl Taxes (Max for 24hrs)
- Hourly Parking – $4
- Half Hourly – $4
- Distance – Quarter of a mile
Fox Auto Parks
- Online Rates – $8.50 (24hrs)
- Taxes and Fees not included (24 hrs)
- One Week = approx $11 per day all incl
- Shuttle wait – 5-10 min
- Distance – 2.3 miles
405 Airport Parking
- Online Rates – $8.75 (24hrs)
- Taxes and Fees not included (24hrs)
- One Week = approx $11 per day all incl
- Shuttle wait – 5-10 min
- Distance – 2.3 miles
Summary
Parking for one day in a private lot in comparison to LAX’s Economy lot will not work out a whole lot cheaper. But if you were to park in a Private Lot for a couple of Days and you applied a coupon discount then you would walk away with a few dollars to spare.
Compared to the Central Terminal lots you will save a significant amount, approximately 50% or more. As a rough calculation if you parked at Fox Auto Parks for 7 days, your cost would be $81.06 ($11.58 per day incl Taxes & Fees). Parking at one of the Eight Central Terminal Lots for the same length of time would set you back $210.
Conclusion
It’s all a matter of what works for you. Some people don’t mind paying the extra just to be closer to the main terminal while others prefer to keep their hard earned dollars and are comfortable parking a mile or 2 further out. The other thing to consider is that seasonal trends may force you to park further out anyway due to the seasonal demand and the problem of full capacity.
Anyhow, with private lots, you have options – firstly a definite cost saving and secondly more to choose from should full occupancy be reached at the main terminal lots.
