About Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) Airport Parking

As the world's busiest airport, you have not only choices - but important considerations - when selecting the best ATL airport parking options. Hartsfield-Jackson travelers need to weigh the costs, the benefits, and the services of all parking alternatives: off-site, on-site, and hotel parking. This guide details the options, additional considerations, and FAQs to find the best ATL parking to fit your needs.

Off-Site (Private) Parking lots

Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is home to a variety of privately owned parking lots, which tend to be more budget-friendly parking options. Nearly all of them have free shuttle services, as well as other amenities not available at the airport-owned parking lots. A more detailed list of the available off-site airport parking lots can be found at the beginning of this guide.

Editor's Note: Located less than a mile from the airport, Fast Park & Relax exclusively serves the international terminal; however, guests flying domestically with no checked bags can take advantage of this shortcut to the Plane Train, bypassing the longer security lines for domestic travel. Other Fast Park amenities include:

• 24/7 Service and Support
• Covered Parking
• Free Shuttle Transportation
• Car-Side Pickup and Dropoff
• FastCharge EV Charging Stations
• Complimentary Luggage Assistance
• Handicap Parking and Assistance for Passengers with Disabilities
• Emergency Car Care
• Motorcycle Parking
• Contactless Payment
• And More...

On-Site (On-Airport) Parking

On-airport lots are open 24/7, operate on a first-come, first-served basis and are typically the most expensive parking options available. While they are typically the closest parking to the terminal, it generally comes with a trade-off of higher pricing. Just like off-site parking facilities, on-site options offer both daily and hourly parking rates.

Atlanta Airport Hotel Parking

Airport parking at hotels can seem like a budget-friendly option, however, many hotels offering parking for airport customers use third-party booking sites to manage those spaces, which charge additional fees. Unlike dedicated parking facilities, hotel parking is a secondary service so continuous shuttle transportation and other convenient amenities aren't offered. If using hotel parking, allow plenty of extra time.

ATL Parking Savings and Deals

If you regularly fly from Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport, joining a rewards program will allow you to take advantage of extra savings and perks. ATL has a Gold Reserve Parking program including a separate parking area with assured parking for members. This program requires investment - a $200 upfront cost and a $408 annual minimum usage fee - so there is a risk of losing money if your travel activities change.

Off-site parking lots also cater to frequent travelers and offer loyalty programs that are free to join. Relax for Rewards - a popular loyalty program offered by Fast Park & Relax - allows travelers to accumulate points for each stay and convert those points into free parking.

Where can I access EV charging for my electric car?

As electric vehicles become more prevalent, more airport parking facilities are offering EV charging stations typically on a first-come, first-served basis. EV charging locations include:

• Fast Park & Relax
• North and South Domestic Daily Lots
• International Terminal Hourly Deck
• International Terminal Park-Ride Deck
• ATL West Parking Deck
• ATL Select Park-Ride

How do I know if there is available parking in the lot I want?

The best way to know that you'll have space to park at the airport is to book your parking ahead of time. Privately owned parking lots like Fast Park & Relax make it easy to reserve your parking for peace of mind®. 

If you plan to park at an airport-owned lot, ATL makes use of an Airport Radio Station, 830 AM to relay real-time parking availability. But, you can't make a reservation to secure your parking at all lots.

Is there motorcycle parking available at ATL?

Most on and off-airport parking lots allow motorcycle parking. We recommend using a lot that offers covered parking to ensure the best motorcycle experience.

Fast Park & Relax and some other privately owned parking lots offer this service. Contact parking lots directly to inquire about how they can best accommodate motorcycle parking needs.

Is there covered parking available at ATL?

Many of the off-site lots have covered parking spaces available. Fast Park & Relax offers covered parking on all spaces in its lot. 

There is also covered parking available in three airport-owned parking locations: ATL Select, The Daily Parking Deck, and the International Park-Ride Deck. At ATL Select, you should expect to spend more for a covered space than an outdoor space.

Is there valet parking available at ATL?

There are some services that offer valet parking at Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport, but many of them are temporarily suspended.

Where can I park my oversized vehicle?

There are oversized vehicle parking spaces at the ATL Select lot. The rates for oversized vehicles are $6 per hour up to 4 hours with a $28 per day rate thereafter.

Contact private parking providers directly for information on oversized vehicle accommodations.

Are there coupons or discounts for ATL parking; How can I save money on airport parking?

Third-party booking sites often promote coupons and discounts for airport parking, but the deals don't always mean you're getting the best savings or service. If you travel often, joining a rewards program can help you save more money in the long run. Which program is right for you? It depends on whether you're looking to build up loyalty points to redeem for free parking; to secure a lower rate as a business traveler; or to pay for exclusive access to on-site parking accommodations. 

Fast Park offers a competitive corporate travel program, offering automated discounts to travelers within specific companies, as well as a Rewards loyalty program, offering all parking guests the opportunity to earn free parking with each paid visit.

How can I save time at check-in for my ATL flight?

If you are traveling with carry-on luggage only, you can check in to domestic flights at the international terminal. The lines within the international terminal are almost always shorter and the check-in process is quick and convenient.

Fast Park exclusively services the international terminal and is conveniently located just 0.8 miles from the airport, off of Charles W. Grant Parkway.
