The Airport
Originally named County Orange Airport, located in Santa Ana within the state of California. This Airport was renamed in 1979 to Honor legendary actor John Wayne who lived in neighboring Newport Beach. Although not the biggest in terms of passenger volume, 9.3 million passengers traveled through it’s gates in 2014. John Wayne Airport Parking consists of 4 parking garages, situated in Terminals A,B and C, and an offsite parking lot with the address of 1152 Main street Irvine.
Airport Parking
As a general rule of thumb, you will always pay that much more for convenience in terms of location, no matter where you go. Another factor to consider is the demand for parking based on how busy the airport can be be due to daily or seasonal trends. Should this demand exceed whats available, then the acceptance of secondary options, such as off-site parking, may be the only alternative.
Parking Costs
Ultimately parking costs may be the deciding factor of where you park based on an individuals budgetary discretion. Sensible spenders generally look for the better deals because they understand the importance of saving their cash. Comparing the on site Terminal Parking versus the off-site Private Parking garages, we can determine the overall cost saving effectiveness.

Recommendations
Parking on site can be judged overall as a base rate of $14 per day, which is not too bad. The cheaper option of parking at the Hyatt Regency is slightly less at $12.50, but the downside, being the distance which is over 6 miles. The occupancy factor can overshadow cost, should the demand dictate that but overall convenience is the winner of the day with competitive pricing for Terminal on-site parking.
As a recommendation for Pre-booked parking, guaranteeing you a parking reservation, the Hilton is the better option priced at $13 per day and only situated 1 mile out from the airport.
