PDX On-Site Parking Rates for a Week
PDX operates four on-site parking options managed by the Port of Portland. None accept advance reservations, all are first-come, first-served.
Parking Option | Daily Rate | 7-Day Total |
Economy Lot | $15/day (7th day free) | $90 |
Long-Term Garage | $24/day | $168 |
Short-Term Garage | $30/day | $210 |
Gold Key Valet | $45/day | $315 |
The Economy Lot is uncovered and requires a free shuttle (runs every 7–9 minutes). The garages are covered with walk-in terminal access. During peak travel periods- summer, holidays, spring break- the Economy Lot fills, leaving the garage as the only available on-site option at $78 more for the week.
What Off-Airport Parking Costs at PDX
Off-airport lots are typically 1–2 miles from the terminal, operate free shuttles, and allow advance reservations, which matters most when you’re traveling during high-demand weeks.
Facility | Daily Rate | 7-Day Total | Shuttle |
AirPark PDX | $15/day (7th day free) | $90 | Free, on-demand |
Park Shuttle & Fly | ~$13/day | ~$91–$106 | Free, ~15 min |
Jiffy Airport Parking | ~$9.95/day | ~$70–$88 | Free, ~6–7 min |
Super 8 Park & Fly | $7.50/day | ~$53 | Free, 4AM–2AM |
Budget hotel lots (Super 8, Holiday Inn) are the lowest-cost option but come with limited shuttle hours and no amenities. AirPark and Park Shuttle & Fly offer 24/7 staffed, secured facilities with guaranteed spots.
Is Driving and Parking Actually Worth It?
For most Portland-area travelers, yes, especially for trips of four days or longer.
The MAX Red Line connects downtown Portland to PDX for $2.80 each way ($5.60 round trip). If you live near a station and travel light, it’s the cheapest option available. But it runs until roughly 12:30 AM and doesn’t serve most suburban neighborhoods, such as Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Vancouver, and Gresham, without a significant detour.
Rideshare costs average $30–$45 each way from downtown, and more from the suburbs. A round trip runs $60–$90 before surge pricing.
At $90 for the week, parking matches or beats rideshare for anyone traveling more than four days, anyone traveling with family or luggage, and anyone whose neighborhood isn’t walking distance from a MAX station.
Getting to PDX | Round-Trip Cost | Works Best For |
MAX Red Line | $5.60 | Solo travelers near a station |
Uber/Lyft | $60–$90+ | Short trips, no car access |
On-site Economy Lot | $90/week | On-budget, no reservation needed |
