Terminal C Parking at Boston Logan: Closest Lots and Rates
Terminal C is JetBlue's hub at Boston Logan, plus a handful of smaller domestic and international carriers. If you're flying from Terminal C, the closest parking is the Central Parking Garage — a covered 5–7 minute walk via the Level 4 pedestrian bridge. For price-conscious travelers, the Economy Parking Garage connects to Terminal C via the free Route 88 shuttle at a lower daily rate.
Overview: Terminal C at Logan
Terminal C sits on the east side of Boston Logan International Airport and operates as JetBlue's primary Logan hub. It handles a heavy early-morning and late-evening departure bank — JetBlue runs redeyes to the West Coast and Caribbean, plus a dense schedule of shorter domestic flights throughout the day. The terminal has two main concourses (C1 and C2) linked airside, with additional gates used by other domestic and select international carriers.
For parking purposes, the practical question is simple: do you prioritize a short covered walk, or do you want the lowest on-airport rate? Central Parking sits directly between Terminals B and C and crosses into Terminal C via a covered Level 4 pedestrian bridge in about 5–7 minutes. Economy Parking is cheaper by roughly $9/day at drive-up rate but requires the free Route 88 shuttle, which adds 10–15 minutes door-to-door.
Most Terminal C travelers on short trips book Central Parking. On longer trips, the cheaper daily rate at Economy (and at off-airport lots) usually wins out. See our full Logan parking rate comparison for a side-by-side breakdown of every option.

Walking Distance to Terminal C
From the Central Parking Garage, Terminal C is one of the closest walks — along with Terminal B. The Level 4 pedestrian bridge is enclosed, climate-controlled, and lit 24/7. It passes directly into the Terminal C check-in hall on Level 3, so there's minimal level-changing aside from escalators at the bridge end.
| From | To Terminal C | Time | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Parking (Level 4) | Check-in Hall | 5–7 min | Covered pedestrian bridge |
| Terminal B Garage | Check-in Hall | 7–10 min | Pedestrian bridge via Central |
| Economy Parking Garage | Terminal C curb | 15–25 min | Free Route 88 shuttle () |
| Rental Car Center / MBTA | Terminal C curb | 10–15 min | Free Blue shuttle (every 5–6 min) |
Terminal C Parking Rates
Massport publishes identical rate sheets for the Central Parking Garage and the Terminal B Garage (both $46 daily max), and a separate rate for the Economy Parking Garage ($37 daily max). Advance reservations cap at $29/day across all three for a limited pool of spaces — book early, especially for holidays.
| Lot | Daily Max (Drive-Up) | Advance Reservation | 7-Day Drive-Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Parking Garage | $46.00 | $29.00 | $322.00 |
| Terminal B Garage | $46.00 | $29.00 | $322.00 |
| Economy Parking Garage | $37.00 | $29.00 | $259.00 |
Which should a Terminal C traveler pick?
For a 1–3 day trip, Central Parking at $29 advance is the clear winner — you save $120+ on the advance rate vs. a $46/day drive-up at the same garage, and you skip the shuttle. For trips of 4+ days, Economy at $29 advance ties on price but adds shuttle time. For 7+ day trips, check off-airport lots, which typically offer daily rates below on-airport Economy — rates and availability change, so check the operator's site before booking.

Tips for Terminal C Travelers
Terminal C has a few quirks worth planning around, mostly the mix of domestic and international flights.
Early flights: check when security opens
Massport says security checkpoints normally open two hours before the first departure of the day, and publishes live wait estimates for Checkpoint 5, which serves all C gates. Central Parking's attendants are on duty 24/7, and its enclosed walkway reaches Terminal C.
International arrivals mix
Massport lists Aer Lingus and Etihad arrivals at Terminal C, so meet those flights there. TAP Air Portugal departs from Terminal C but arrives at Terminal E, and so do JetBlue's international arrivals. Check the arrival terminal in the flight status before you drive.
Weather-disrupted days favor Central
Boston winters bring snow, ice, and occasional nor'easters. Central Parking keeps you indoors the entire way from car to check-in. Economy Parking requires a walk to the shuttle stop in whatever weather you've got — which is a material difference in February. Shuttle frequency can change in severe weather, so check the Massport alerts page on storm days.
Multi-day trips: compare before booking
On a 5-day trip, Central at drive-up rate is $230 and Economy at drive-up is $185; off-airport lots are typically cheaper still, though rates vary by operator and date. If you can secure an advance reservation at $29/day, Central becomes hard to beat. Always check the full rate comparison and the operator's site before committing.
