CLE Airport Parking Options

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Ohio, serving more than 10 million passengers annually. Known as the US' first downtown airport, it is located about 15 minutes Southwest of downtown Cleveland.

CLE paved the way for modern aviation locally and globally. It boasts a handful of "firsts" in the following areas: air freight system, radio-equipped air traffic control tower, scheduled interstate passenger service, passenger terminal building, and airport with a two-floor terminal design, among other milestones.

    Hotel lots

    Hotel lots allow you to park at nearby hotels and the hotel shuttle takes you to the airport.

    As usual, booking fees are high so if you're staying only a day you're probably better off using on-airport or 3rd party lots.

    Before using hotel lots, I’d recommend you read more about how these lots work on my guide to airport parking, particularly the section on hotel lots here.

    FAQ's

    Depending on your lot and whether you choose to park on the airport or at one of the many 3rd party offsite lots you can expect to pay hourly rates between $5 and $9. Daily rates also vary but will be between $13 and $30. See our price tables above for more information about specific parking options.

    Generally, hotel lots have the cheapest daily rates. 3rd party booking fees can mean those lots cost more than expected.

Check the individual parking providers to see the offering specifics. On the airport grounds covered parking can be found in the CLE Smart Parking Garage connected to the terminal building.

    You can park your motorcycle at any lot on or off the airport grounds. It is smart, though to choose a lot that has 24/7 security monitoring and a covered lot to best protect your motorcycle while you are traveling.

    The airport-owned lots do not currently have any availability notification options.

Call or visit any of their websites for information on parking avaibility at any time.

    Hopkins International Airport does not offer a parking reservation option at its airport-owned parking lots. Fortunately, all 3rd party parking options offer advanced reservations, provided they are not fully booked. If you are concerned about having a parking space during a busy travel season, you can look for these on the private parking providers' websites listed above.

    Each 3rd party parking lot offers their own selection of amentities that range from free water bottles and luggage assistance to pet care and oil changes. Check the individual lot websites for more details.
