# Parking guides

Every ATL guide on parking: 9 guides, each answering one question. They include aTL cell phone lot: address, directions and how to time a pickup.

Updated November 15, 2026

What parking at ATL costs and which option fits your trip: the garages by the terminals, the cheaper options for a longer trip, and where to wait when you are picking someone up. The guides answer one question each; the parking page lists every lot with its published rates.

Looking for the listings themselves? They are on the [Parking](https://atlairportguide.com/parking/) page.
