Logan Airport Parking Rates 2026: Full Price Comparison

Every Boston Logan parking option in one place — Massport's on-airport garages, Logan's valet program, off-airport commercial lots, and the park-and-ride alternatives. Rates are based on Massport's official April 2026 schedule. Use this page to find the cheapest option for your trip length and terminal.

Overview: How Logan's Parking is Priced

Boston Logan has three parking categories: on-airport Massport garages, on-airport valet, and off-airport commercial lots. Massport operates three public garages — Central Parking, Terminal B Garage, and Economy Parking — under a single rate card. All share the $10 first-hour rate; they diverge at the daily cap: $46 at Central and Terminal B, $37 at Economy.

Massport also sells a limited pool of $29/day advance-reservation spaces across all three garages. This is the cheapest way to park on-airport, but spaces sell out 10–14 days ahead at peak.

Off-airport is where published pricing falls apart. On 14 August 2026 we checked all three of Logan's main off-airport operators and none of them publishes a flat daily rate — every one quotes only inside its own booking flow. On that same day, third-party sites were quoting PreFlight at $9.99, $22 and $26 per day. Those cannot all be right. We publish what each operator actually states on its own site, and we say plainly where no number exists — see what off-airport lots actually charge.

One 2026 change: Terminal E does not have an on-airport parking lot. The old surface lot is closed while a new Terminal E garage is built, with completion expected around 2028. International travelers should use Central, Economy, or an off-airport lot.

Daily, weekly, and monthly figures for every Logan parking option. Every Massport tier below was read directly off Massport's own rate tables and re-verified on 14 August 2026. Off-airport and valet operators do not publish flat daily rates at all — that is covered honestly in its own section rather than filled in with a guess.

Short-stay hourly tiers (on-airport)

All three Massport garages share the first-hour and 1–2 hour tiers. They diverge at hour 2, and Economy caps at hour 4 while Central/Terminal B keep climbing. The two highlighted rows are the ones almost nobody republishes: on a multi-day stay, a partial final day under six hours is billed at $23 (Central/Terminal B) or $19 (Economy) rather than a full day — so a Tuesday-morning return is materially cheaper than a Tuesday-evening one.

What Logan's Off-Airport Lots Actually Charge

Here is the finding that no other Logan parking page will tell you: not one of Logan's three main off-airport operators publishes a flat daily rate. We checked all three on 14 August 2026. PreFlight, Park Shuttle & Fly and Park N Boston each quote a price only after you enter your dates in their own booking form, and that price moves with demand. PreFlight's own terms say it outright: "If you edit your reservation, you will pay the current rates which may be higher than when you first booked."

That is why the "$X per day" figures you see elsewhere disagree so badly. On the same day we ran this check, published third-party rates for PreFlight alone ranged from $9.99 to $26 per day. So this table shows only what each operator states on its own site — the posted figures, the shuttle, the address — and leaves the daily rate blank where no daily rate exists. A blank here is the honest answer, not a gap.

Off-airport Logan parking operators: published rates, shuttle frequency and location, verified 14 August 2026
Operator Published daily rate What they do publish Shuttle Location
PreFlight Airport Parking None. Quote-only, varies by date. $5 off a first stay; 1 loyalty point per $1. Cashless — card only. Free cancellation up to 1 hour before start, less the reservation fee. Free, collects you at your car. Their own site states the frequency three different ways: 7–10, 7–12 and 6–12 minutes. Ride is 7–15 minutes. Between 11pm and 8am you must phone 617-884-2294 for pickup from the airport. 111 Eastern Avenue, Chelsea MA 02150 — widely mislisted elsewhere as East Boston.
Park Shuttle & Fly None. Their rates page says: "Select the Reserve Parking button to quote your rate." $5 per hour, minimum charge one day. Monthly passes at $120, $165 and $230. Rewards members save $2 on the standard rate. Promo code 6DAYFREE gives a free 6th day — online prepay only, and it expires 31 August 2026. Free, on-demand, 24/7. Requested by text from your digital claim ticket or by phone. 320 William F McClellan Hwy, Boston MA 02128. Operator claims to be the closest off-site lot and the only one on the airport side of the drawbridge — we have not independently measured this.
Park N Boston None. Quoted inside the reservation form after you enter dates. Rewards members get one free day plus 10% off standard and oversized rates. Valet parking and car detailing available while you travel. Free, 24 hours. Their own site says shuttles depart every 30 minutes — the least frequent of the three. Operator claims 6 minutes' drive from Logan. 30 Railroad St, Revere MA 02151. Family-run, 20+ years, staffed 24/7.
Each row read from the operator's own website on 14 August 2026: PreFlight BOS · Park Shuttle & Fly rates · Park N Boston. We take no commission on any of these and none of them pays us for placement.

How to actually compare an off-airport lot against Economy

Because the daily rate is only visible at the end of a booking flow, the only honest comparison is one you run yourself, with your real dates. It takes about four minutes:

  1. Get your on-airport baseline first. Massport is fixed and published: $37/day at Economy drive-up, or $29/day if you pre-book an advance reservation. For a 7-day trip that is $259 or $203.
  2. Quote all three off-airport lots with the same entry and exit times. Use lot arrival and departure times, not flight times — Park Shuttle & Fly bills on when your car is on their lot.
  3. Add the shuttle cost in minutes, not dollars. A 30-minute shuttle headway at Park N Boston versus a 7-minute one at PreFlight is roughly 45 minutes of your round trip.
  4. Check the promo actually applies. The Park Shuttle & Fly 6th-day-free code is prepay-online only and cannot be combined with free rewards days.
  5. If the off-airport quote does not beat $29/day advance and you are happy walking to the terminal, book Massport. Below roughly four days, the on-airport advance rate usually wins outright.

Where the official sources contradict themselves

Checked 14 August 2026. We publish these rather than quietly pick whichever number suits.

  • Massport's Economy shuttle frequency. Massport's own parking FAQ states the shuttle runs "approximately every 15 minutes" and "approximately every 3–5 minutes" on the same page. Plan for the longer figure.
  • PreFlight's shuttle frequency. Stated as 7–10, 7–12 and 6–12 minutes in three places on PreFlight's own site.
  • PreFlight's town. Listed by most third-party sites as East Boston. PreFlight's own site gives Chelsea, MA 02150. Use Chelsea in your GPS.
  • Terminal E. There is no on-airport Terminal E lot — the old surface lot is closed for garage construction, expected to complete around 2028.

Best Rate by Trip Length

Trip length is the single biggest driver of which lot saves you the most money. For a same-day meeting, a short-stay tier at Central makes sense. For a two-week vacation, every dollar of daily rate compounds. Here's the recommended lot for four common scenarios.

Scenario 1

1-day business trip

Pick: Central at $29 advance; otherwise Economy at $37.

Skipping the shuttle saves 30+ minutes round-trip — usually worth more than $8 on a one-day trip.

Scenario 2

3-day weekend

Pick: Economy at $29 advance ($87) or $37 drive-up ($111).

Three days is the break-even where Economy's shuttle time pays off. Save $27 vs Central drive-up ($138).

Scenario 3

7-day vacation

Pick: Economy at $29 advance ($203). Compare an off-airport pre-booked rate before committing.

Saves $119 vs Central drive-up ($322). A pre-booked off-airport lot may beat it.

Scenario 4

14-day trip

Pick: Economy at $29 advance ($406), or an off-airport pre-booked rate if you can lock one in.

At two weeks, Logan Express suburban park-and-ride also becomes competitive for solo travelers.

How to Save on Logan Parking

There are four reliable ways to cut Logan Airport parking costs. In rough order of savings per dollar of effort:

1. Book Massport's $29/day advance reservation

The biggest single lever. Book at park.massport.com. Saves $17/day versus Central drive-up or $8/day versus Economy. Book 7 days ahead for normal weeks, 10–14 for holidays.

2. Pre-book an off-airport lot for 7+ day trips

Off-airport operators offer their best rates when reserved 3–7 days ahead. For week-plus trips, a pre-booked rate can beat Massport's advance price. Trade-off: shuttle time (10–25 min plus the drive) and occasional height restrictions.

3. Use Logan Express instead of parking

Massport runs Logan Express buses from Braintree, Framingham, Peabody, and Woburn straight to the terminals. Suburban-lot parking is $7/day; online tickets start at $9 each way. For solo travelers, round-trip fare plus suburban parking usually beats on-airport for trips of 4+ days.

4. Take the MBTA Blue Line

Boston residents traveling light can ride the Blue Line to Airport station, then the free blue shuttle (every 5–6 min) to any terminal. Cost: one T fare each way. Source: Massport on-airport shuttle.

Seasonal Rate Changes and Peak Periods

Massport's posted rates are fixed year-round — a $46 daily cap in January is a $46 daily cap in July. What changes during peak periods is availability, particularly of the $29/day advance-reservation pool. Off-airport operators, by contrast, do flex their pricing with demand.

Peak holiday periods

  • Thanksgiving week
  • Christmas/New Year: Dec 19 – Jan 3
  • Summer: late June through Labor Day
  • February and April school vacation weeks

Exact school vacation dates vary year to year — check the Massachusetts academic calendar for current-year ranges.

Special events driving surges

  • Boston Marathon weekend (mid-April)
  • Head of the Charles (late October)
  • Boston Calling (late May)
  • Major Red Sox / Patriots / Celtics playoff runs

Event dates shift year to year — check each event's official site for current-year timing.

What to do during peak periods

Book your Massport advance reservation at least two weeks ahead. Drive-up remains available at posted prices, but garages can fill during the worst peaks. Check the Massport parking status page before leaving, and have an off-airport backup ready.
