How the on-site lots compare at PHL
The cheapest on-airport long-term option at PHL works for trips of four days or more, where the per-day savings outweigh the shuttle wait. For one- to three-day trips, the daily terminal garage is usually the better total-time call once you factor in the shuttle to and from a long-term lot.
Hourly parking is for pickups and meetings of less than four hours; rates climb steeply after the first hour at every airport. The cell phone waiting lot is free and is the right place to wait for an arriving passenger — pulling to the arrivals curb early forces you into a recirculation loop that at busy hubs like PHL can cost 15–25 minutes.
Off-airport parking near PHL
Independent operators within a few miles of PHL typically undercut on-airport economy by $3–$8 per day. The trade-off is shuttle frequency.
| Lot | Daily rate | Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| PreFlight Airport Parking PHL | $13/day | Every 10 minutes |
| WallyPark PHL | $15/day | Valet handoff |
Rideshare and ground transportation
Uber and Lyft pick up at Zone 5 of the Commercial Transportation curb on the arrivals level. The pickup surcharge is $2.50.

Accessible parking at PHL
Accessible spaces are reserved on every level of the on-site garages at PHL and are the closest spaces to each terminal entrance. A valid disability placard or plate is required. Wheelchair-accessible shuttle service is available from the long-term and economy lots — request it from any shuttle driver or via the airport's accessibility line.
