Boston Logan does not operate a stand-alone consumer valet product the way some airports do. What Massport offers is the Gold Parking Express program — a membership feature of its on-airport garages that will valet-park your vehicle at no extra charge when your reserved area is full. For a dedicated front-desk valet experience, travelers use commercial off-airport valet operators. Here's how both work and when each makes sense.
The word "valet" at Logan can mean two very different things. The first is Massport's Gold Parking Express, a membership program tied to Central Parking and Terminal B Garage. Members get priority reserved spaces; when those spaces fill up, an attendant will valet-park the car for you at no premium. It's a capacity-management feature, not a destination valet service — most members use their reserved space and never interact with the valet component.
The second is off-airport commercial valet. Here, a private operator in East Boston, Revere, or Chelsea sends a driver to meet you at the curbside departures level of your terminal. They take your keys, drive the car to their lot, and park it there. On return, you call from baggage claim and they bring the car back to the arrivals curb. You never touch a shuttle, never walk through a garage, never carry a bag further than the curb. The trade-off is cost and coordination: off-airport valet is priced at a premium over self-park, and the service depends on the operator hitting their curbside window reliably.
If your priority is the fastest possible airport experience, review our Central Parking guide alongside this page — the walk from Central to your gate on Level 4 is genuinely short, and for most travelers it beats the coordination overhead of a valet handoff.
The mechanics are different for Massport's Gold Parking Express versus off-airport commercial valet. Here's what each looks like in practice.
Program terms per Massport: $225 to enroll (includes the first-year membership fee), $125 annual renewal thereafter. Membership cards arrive by mail within 7–10 business days. Full terms: massport.com/evopark-tc.
Curbside protocols vary by operator and are governed by Massport's commercial ground-transportation rules. Confirm pickup/drop-off procedures and allowed terminal curbs with the operator before booking.
There is no single "valet rate" at Logan because there is no single valet product. For Massport's Gold Parking Express, you pay the standard on-airport rate for the garage you're using — the valet-park feature doesn't carry its own fee. For off-airport commercial valet, you pay the operator's self-park rate plus a valet premium set by that operator.
| Product | Drive-Up Daily | Advance Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Parking Express at Central / Terminal B | $46.00 | $29.00 | Underlying garage rate applies; valet-park included free when reserved area full |
| Off-airport valet East Boston operator | Varies by operator — check operator site | Curbside handoff, no shuttle; premium over self-park | |
| Off-airport valet Revere operator | Varies by operator — check operator site | Curbside handoff, no shuttle; premium over self-park | |
| Off-airport valet Chelsea operator | Varies by operator — check operator site | Curbside handoff, no shuttle; premium over self-park | |
Bottom line on pricing: the Massport valet-park feature inside Gold Parking Express is free when triggered, but you're paying Central Parking's $46 drive-up rate (or the $29 advance rate) either way. Off-airport valet will usually price below drive-up Central but above any self-park option on either side of the airport fence. Compare against our full rate comparison before committing to a valet product.
Valet pickup and drop-off happen in different places depending on which product you're using. Here's the breakdown by terminal.
| Terminal | Gold Parking Express Entry | Off-Airport Valet Curb |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal A | Central Parking reserved area | Departures level curbside — confirm lane with operator |
| Terminal B | Terminal B Garage reserved area | Departures level curbside — confirm lane with operator |
| Terminal C | Central Parking reserved area | Departures level curbside — confirm lane with operator |
| Terminal E | Central Parking reserved area | Departures level curbside — confirm lane with operator |
Call your off-airport valet operator's dispatch number on your way to the airport to give an ETA. Most operators require 15–20 minutes of lead time to have a driver at the curb. Return pickup is called in from baggage claim; plan on 5–15 minutes to the arrivals curb depending on traffic.
Valet — whether Massport's Gold Parking Express or a commercial off-airport operator — earns its premium in specific scenarios. Outside those scenarios, self-park options almost always win on cost, and often on speed.
A useful mental test: if you were willing to pay an extra $20–40 per day to skip the shuttle and walk, off-airport valet makes sense. If not, compare Central Parking's $46 daily max against an off-airport self-park — the Central option already delivers most of valet's no-shuttle benefit at a lower total cost than most commercial valet products.
Not as a stand-alone consumer product. Massport's Gold Parking Express program reserves priority spaces in Central Parking and Terminal B Garage for enrolled members; if your reserved area is full, the attendant will valet-park your vehicle at no extra charge. For a dedicated front-desk valet experience, travelers use commercial off-airport valet operators.
Gold Parking Express is Massport's premium on-airport parking program. It reserves priority spaces in Central Parking and Terminal B Garage for members. If your reserved area is temporarily full, the attendant valet-parks your vehicle at no extra charge and retrieves it on your return. Confirm current program terms, enrollment fees, and benefits directly on Massport's parking site when you enroll.
For on-airport Massport parking via Gold Parking Express, your rate is the underlying garage rate — $46/day drive-up or $29/day advance at Central Parking, $37/day drive-up or $29/day advance at Economy. The valet-park feature itself doesn't carry an added fee. Off-airport commercial valet operators set their own premium over self-park rates; verify the current rate on each operator's site before booking.
Off-airport valet operators generally instruct customers to pull up at the curbside departures level of their terminal for drop-off, and to call dispatch from baggage claim for return pickup at the arrivals curb. Specific curbside lane protocols vary by operator and are communicated in each booking confirmation.
Valet pays off on short business trips, for travelers with mobility limitations, on storm days, and for families juggling car seats and luggage. For longer or budget-focused leisure trips, self-park options — especially off-airport lots with free shuttles or Central Parking's advance reservation rate — typically deliver better value.
The value of an off-airport valet product is that you skip the shuttle entirely — a driver meets you at the terminal curb, takes your keys, and drives your vehicle to the lot. On return, they bring the car back to the arrivals curb. Specific protocols vary by operator; confirm in the booking confirmation.
