Boston Logan Central Parking: Rates, Location, and Reservations
The Central Parking Garage is Massport's flagship on-airport parking structure at Boston Logan International Airport. A covered, multi-level garage between Terminals B and C, it connects to all four passenger terminals (A, B, C, and E) via pedestrian bridges on Level 4. Drive-up rates top out at a $46 daily maximum; a limited number of advance-reservation spaces are available for $29 per day.
Overview
Central Parking is the most convenient parking option at Boston Logan for travelers who prioritize speed over price. You park once, cross a covered pedestrian bridge on Level 4, and you're inside your terminal — no shuttle, no stairs, no waiting. The garage sits in the geographic center of the airport loop, which is why it can access all four terminals in roughly the same amount of time.
The trade-off is cost. At a $46 daily maximum on the drive-up rate, Central Parking is two to five times more expensive than off-airport alternatives on a per-day basis. For one-night or two-night trips, that premium is usually worth it. For anything seven days or longer, the math tilts sharply toward Economy Parking or an off-airport lot — see our full rate comparison for a side-by-side breakdown.
Massport also operates Terminal B Garage under identical rates and terms — the only meaningful difference is which terminal you're closest to. If you're flying out of Terminal B, the Terminal B Garage is Massport's garage for flights to and from that terminal. For every other terminal, Central Parking is the better choice.
Location by Terminal
The Central Parking Garage has dedicated Level 4 pedestrian bridges to each of Logan's four passenger terminals. Massport does not publish walk times. The times below are our estimates, and they depend on which level of the garage you park on and which gate area your flight departs from. Allow extra time if you are traveling with children, bags, or reduced mobility.
| Terminal | Walking time (our estimate) | Access | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal A | 8–10 min | Level 4 pedestrian bridge | Delta |
| Terminal B | 5–7 min | Level 4 pedestrian bridge | American, Southwest, United, Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, Boutique Air |
| Terminal C | 5–7 min | Level 4 pedestrian bridge | JetBlue, Cape Air, Aer Lingus, Etihad, TAP Air Portugal |
| Terminal E | 8–10 min | Level 4 pedestrian bridge | International airlines (British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates) |

Central Parking Rates
Central Parking uses a tiered hourly structure that caps at a $46 daily maximum. Additional days accrue at the same rate. Massport does not publish a separate weekly or monthly rate — the weekly figure below is the drive-up daily maximum multiplied by seven. Advance parking reservations are available at $29/day for a limited number of spaces; book through park.massport.com.
| Length of stay | Drive-up rate |
|---|---|
| 0 to 1 hour | $10 |
| 1 to 2 hours | $26 |
| 2 to 3 hours | $31 |
| 3 to 4 hours | $36 |
| 4 to 7 hours | $40 |
| 7 to 24 hours (daily maximum) | $46 |
| Additional day, 0 to 6 hours | $23 |
| Additional day, 6 to 24 hours | $46 |
| Lost ticket | Applicable parking fee + $5.00 |

Weekly and monthly rates
Massport does not publish a separate weekly or monthly rate for Central Parking. A seven-day stay at the drive-up daily max works out to $322. At the advance-reservation rate (if you secure one of the limited spaces), a seven-day stay is $203. Massport's Gold Parking Express / EVOPark program adds a guaranteed space (or free valet when the reserved area is full) for an annual fee, but does not offer a discounted weekly or monthly cap.
How to Reserve Central Parking
Advance reservations at $29/day are Massport's most direct discount — but the pool of spaces is small and peak travel periods sell out. Book at least 7 days ahead for typical weeks and 14+ days ahead for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Boston Marathon weekend, and summer holiday windows.
- Visit park.massport.com and choose your arrival and departure dates.
- Select Central Parking (or Terminal B Garage if flying from Terminal B) and confirm availability at the $29 advance rate.
- Enter vehicle, driver, and payment details. You'll receive a confirmation email with a QR code.
- On arrival, scan the QR code at the entry gate. No ticket is required; the system validates your reservation automatically.
- Park in any open space. On exit, scan the same QR code to clear the gate without stopping at a cashier.
If advance spaces are sold out for your dates, Central Parking accepts drive-ups at the standard daily max. You can also check the Massport parking status page for real-time garage capacity before leaving home.
Central Parking sells out. It is worth having a second option priced.
If the garage is full, or the advance rate is more than you want to pay, off-airport lots near Logan quote at booking and include a shuttle.
Pros and Cons vs Other Logan Parking Options
Central Parking is not the cheapest option at Logan, and it's not the closest to any specific terminal. It is, however, the most predictable: a fixed walk, a covered garage, no shuttle dependency. Here's how it compares to the alternatives.
Advantages
- ✓ Covered, climate-protected garage (no snow, no ice)
- ✓ No shuttle — walk directly to any terminal
- ✓ 24/7 attendants and security monitoring
- ✓ Predictable transit time (no shuttle wait variance)
- ✓ Best for early-morning, late-night, or weather-disrupted flights
- ✓ Advance reservation at $29/day available
Disadvantages
- ✕ Most expensive on-airport option at drive-up rate
- ✕ Seven-day trip at daily max = $322 vs ~$259 at Economy
- ✕ Advance-reservation spaces are limited and sell out
- ✕ No dedicated in-and-out privileges for multi-day trips
- ✕ For trips 7+ days, off-airport lots are typically a better value
Short version: Central Parking wins for trips of 1–3 days when reliability matters more than price, and for advance-reservation bookings that capture the $29 rate. For longer trips or cost-first travelers, compare long-term parking options before deciding.
