Understanding Fort Lauderdale Airport Parking Rates
Traveling through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) requires planning, especially when it comes to storing your vehicle. Parking rates vary significantly depending on which facility you choose: the convenient Hibiscus and Palm garages, the budget-friendly Economy lot, or the premium Valet service.
This calculator helps travelers estimate their parking fees before arriving at the terminal, ensuring no surprises at the exit gate. Whether you are taking a quick weekend trip or a long international vacation, understanding the fee structure is crucial for your travel budget.

Detailed Rate Breakdown
1. Hibiscus & Palm Garages (Daily Parking)
These are the primary parking structures at FLL. The Hibiscus Garage primarily serves Terminal 1 and part of Terminal 2, while the Palm Garage serves Terminals 2, 3, and 4. The rate structure is identical for both:
- Cost: $3.00 per hour.
- Cap: Once you reach 5 hours ($15.00), you are not charged more for the remainder of that 24-hour period. The cycle resets every 24 hours.
2. Economy Parking
Located slightly further away requiring a short shuttle ride or a walk depending on the specific lot assignment (currently consolidated), Economy parking is the most cost-effective solution for long durations.
- Cost: Starts at $3.00 per hour similar to the garages.
- Cap: The daily maximum is significantly lower at $10.00 per day.
- Comparison: On a 7-day trip, Economy saves you $35 compared to the garage options.
3. Curbside Valet
For the ultimate convenience, Valet parking is available at the departure level curbside of Terminals 1, 2, and 3/4. This service is ideal if you are running late or have heavy bags, but it is the most expensive option at a flat rate of $25.00 per day.
Payment Methods and SunPass
FLL parking facilities accept major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover) and cash. Additionally, SunPass Plus lanes are available. Using SunPass does not typically offer a discount on the rates listed above, but it provides a faster entry and exit experience, allowing you to bypass payment kiosks.
Tips for Parking at FLL
- Check Real-Time Availability: The FLL app and website often show how full the garages are. The garages can fill up quickly during peak travel seasons (holidays, spring break).
- Remember Your Spot: Use the "FLL Airport" app to mark your parking location or take a photo of the pillar number and level.
- Grace Period: Most airport parking facilities do not offer a free grace period for parking; however, if you are just picking someone up, use the Cell Phone Waiting Area which is free.
