On-Site Airport Parking Overview
Key takeaways
- All lots accept short term parking and the prices for short term are pretty much the same ($2-3 per hour), so if you're parking short term, just get as close to the terminal as you can.
- There's no down side to parking too long in the short term lots - you'll keep getting billed the hourly rate until you reach the daily maximum, which is just more in the short term lots than in the long term lots.
- Long term parking is $5 - $10 per day, based on distance from the airport (you'll need to take a quick shuttle to the terminal).
- There's a valet option right in front of the terminal, but it is currently closed.
- There's a cell phone lot past the terminal
- Not many options with third party lots at CMH. There are only two that I'm aware of, ranging from $7 - $10 per day, although I'm not totally sure why you wouldn't just park in the on airport lots since they're closer and cheaper. It might make more sense if you have a corporate or frequent parker discount.
