On-airport lots
MDW has 4 on airport lots (plus a cell phone lot). They range in price from $5 per hour to $63 per day. Chicago real estate isn't cheap, and that goes for parking as well. These are some of the higher per day prices for on-airport parking in the country.

I was able to find 6 private lots at Chicago Midway.
Prices are around $12 / day on up.

Key takeaways for Chicago Midway airport lots
- Don't park in long term lots if you're parking short term, unless you're parking less than 1 hour. After 1 hour you get charged for the full day.
- Long term lots are expensive, starting at $30/day. If you're looking to save money, try a 3rd party lot. They're actually cheaper than the hotel lots.
- Short term parking is cheapest in the terminal garage across from the terminal building.
- There's a cell phone lot past the terminal
- There's no dedicated international terminal so park anywhere for domestic or international.
