ATL parking rates: which lot fits your trip

Most ATL lots charge $15 to $30 a day, and Domestic Hourly caps at $50 for day one. See totals for 1, 3 and 7 days, plus the free lot and MARTA option.

For the Domestic Terminal, ATL charges $15 a day in the Park-Ride lot, $20 in Economy and $30 in Daily or the West Deck. The Hourly decks cost the most per day, at $50 for the first day and $75 for each day after. A week in a $15 lot costs $105 against $210 in Daily. The $15 lots are reached by shuttle. Anyone waiting for an arriving passenger can use the Cell Phone Lot for free.

What each lot costs

ATL’s parking page publishes one rate for each lot type, which our parking directory lists. The totals below multiply that rate by the number of days.

Park-Ride $15 a day $15 $45 $105
ATL Select, uncovered $15 a day $15 $45 $105

ATL Select, covered $20 a day $20 $60 $140
Daily $30 a day $30 $90 $210
ATL West Deck $30 a day $30 $90 $210
ATL Select, oversized $40 a day $40 $120 $280
Hourly $50 maximum for the first day, $75 each additional day $50 $200 $500
International Park-Ride $30 a day $30 $90 $210
International Hourly $70 maximum for the first day, $100 each additional day $70 $270 $670

ATL’s status list shows North and South versions of Hourly, Daily and Economy. The page doesn’t say how it counts a partial day, so check the final rate before a stay that runs a few hours past a day boundary. ATL’s booking form asks for entry and exit times and returns a final rate and availability.

Short stays and pickups

The Hourly decks are built for short stays, and the north deck and the south deck share the same $50 first-day maximum. ATL publishes the daily cap and no per-hour rate, so you can’t price a two-hour visit from its page.

The Cell Phone Lot is meant for a brief wait. ATL calls it the Park and Wait Lot. It’s at 1920 Autoport Drive in College Park, and our page gives the driving directions from I-85 and Camp Creek Parkway.

One night to a few days

Economy is surface parking north of the Domestic Terminal, cheaper than the decks and a longer walk. North Daily is the north deck, with EV charging on level 1. The south side has its own Daily deck, Terminal South Daily, also $30 a day and run by the airport itself.

Two more Domestic Terminal lots show no published rate. Terminal North Gold Lot is a further multi-storey deck on the north side. Terminal West Economy is surface economy parking on the west side, operated under its own name rather than the airport’s. Both charge.

The ATL West Deck costs the same as Daily and sits roughly 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) from the middle of the airfield. ATL puts it a 3 to 5 minute SkyTrain ride from check-in and arrivals, with the SkyTrain on level 4 of the deck.

A week or more

Park-Ride and ATL Select uncovered both charge $15 a day, half the price of Daily. Park Ride Lot C is an airport-run surface lot about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) out, reached by shuttle rather than on foot.

ATL Select is reached by shuttle. ATL’s EV list names an ATL Park Ride Select lot on Sullivan Road. Its description of the uncovered rate mentions a shuttle to the International Terminal, so confirm which terminal your reservation serves before you book.

MARTA’s College Park lots are the third route. College Park Park & Ride is MARTA’s lot next to its own rail station, so you park there and ride the train to the airport, and our MARTA rail page lists the $2.50 standard fare. MARTA’s parking page shows whether the College Park Main Lot, Long Term Deck and Overflow Lot are open or full. It doesn’t list fees, so check with MARTA about the rate before you leave the car.

Flying from the International Terminal

Park on the side you’re flying from. ATL’s maps page says the International Terminal has its own entrance, reached from I-75 at Exit 239.

ATL describes International Hourly as the parking directly in front of the terminal, steps from check-in and arrivals. International Park-Ride is covered and, in ATL’s words, minutes from the terminal. If you land on the wrong side, a free shuttle links the terminals, and our International Terminal shuttle page has the Domestic Terminal stop.

Before you drive in

ATL’s parking page lists each lot’s status with a last-update time, and says to refresh it for the latest status. It also warns that space availability is subject to change.

ATL says pre-booking avoids a full lot. Its booking cards cover the West Deck, ATL Select, International Hourly and International Park-Ride. Daily has no booking card.

For EV charging, ATL lists stations at North Daily (Level 1), North Economy, North Hourly (Level 3), and at the South Domestic Terminal EV Village (Level 1). It also lists International Hourly (Level 2), International Park-Ride, the West Deck and ATL Select.

After a long trip, ATL says Courtesy Patrol Officers monitor parking facilities. They give courtesy assistance at the entrance of various lots 24 hours daily. Courtesy Assistance Services offer free jump-starts, air inflation and vehicle locates, and signs at the emergency call boxes say so. The call boxes connect to the parking management office and airport police.

What ATL doesn’t publish

ATL’s parking page gives no hours or addresses for the shuttle lots and no shuttle frequency. Ask ATL’s parking office through its contact page.
