Frequently Asked Questions
Airport parking structure?
Economy/long-term: furthest lots, $8-25/day, shuttle required. Standard daily: closer garages, $15-40/day. Short-term/hourly: meters, $2-8/hour, $40-80/day cap. Valet: $25-60/day premium. Off-site private operators: $10-35/day + shuttle (beat airport rates). Airport captures majority revenue; private operators ~15-25% of market share typical. Large hubs (LAX, JFK, ORD, DFW): $200M-1B+ annual parking revenue.
Revenue per space?
Economy: $2,000-4,500/space/year (high turnover × low rate). Standard daily: $4,000-9,500/space/year (medium turnover × medium rate). Valet: $6,000-18,000/space/year (medium turnover × premium rate). Airport blend: $3,500-8,500/space/year typical. Off-site operators: $2,500-5,500/space/year. Airport parking is premium asset — high demand, inelastic pricing (travelers captive). Cap rates: 6-8%.
Operational nuances?
Payment: pay-on-foot kiosks, mobile apps, license-plate recognition (LPR). Shuttle bus operation for economy lots: 15-25% of operating cost. Cleaning: aggressive schedule (garages generate trash). Security: critical (long-term vehicles, theft risk). Cameras, patrol, insurance. Payment fraud is material issue. Weather: ice/snow clearing, covered parking premium 50-150% over exposed.
Private airport parking?
Off-site operators (The Parking Spot, Park 'N Fly, WallyPark): 500-3,000 space lots 1-3 miles from airport. Shuttle every 10-20 min. Rate 20-40% below airport. Target: budget travelers, extended stays. Economics: lower real estate cost per space ($500-2,000 vs airport $5,000-20,000), shuttle operation, competitive pressure from airport. Consolidation underway (ABM/ABC acquisitions).
