The 3-day and 7-day columns multiply each daily rate by 3 and by 7, before taxes and fees. Rates change by date, and neither Charlie Brown's nor the airport prints an effective date. Charlie Brown's bills for the time you actually park, from arrival at the lot to departure.
The ParkingAccess rate is $1.05 a day below Charlie Brown's own reserved rate, but a ParkingAccess booking adds taxes and the $9.95 service fee: across the 165 quotes, the median all-in total was $13.01 a day on a median 6-day stay. Charlie Brown's does not say whether its $11 includes tax. The airport's Shuttle Lot starts as low as $8 a day when pre-booked, below every Charlie Brown's price, though the airport page cites both a 7-day and a 14-day advance window for that rate. PIT's rates exclude a 2.5% school tax and a 9.0% township tax.
Charlie Brown's rates page still lists airport prices of $25 for the Terminal Lot and $35 for the garage; the airport's page showed $28 and $38 on September 15, 2026, $3 a day higher. Charlie Brown's also runs its own offers on its site.
How does Charlie Brown's shuttle get you to Pittsburgh International's terminal?
Pittsburgh International's new terminal opened to the public on November 18, 2025. The airport's guide to the building assigns off-site parking shuttles to the Ground Commercial Curbside, the bottom level, shared with taxis, ride-shares and hotel shuttles. Charlie Brown's site does not name its curb, so confirm the spot when you call. For comparison, PIT's own Shuttle Lot buses stop at five shelters about every ten minutes, 24/7/365.
Dropping off your car
- Book, and enter the time you will reach the lot, not your flight time. Charlie Brown's asks for "the time you wish to arrive at the parking lot".
- Arrive at 600 Flaugherty Run Rd, Coraopolis, PA 15108, at least 15 minutes before you want to be at the terminal.
- Show your receipt. Charlie Brown's requires it for your quoted price and for credit on an online payment.
- Hand over your keys and ride the free shuttle; luggage help is complimentary.
Coming home
- Claim your bags, then call 412-299-5692 for the shuttle. The office line is 412-262-4931.
- Wait where the dispatcher tells you. The airport's guide places off-site parking shuttles on the bottom-level Ground Commercial Curbside.
- Ride back to the lot. Charlie Brown's says to allow 30 to 45 minutes from baggage claim to the lot, so set your reservation end time with that buffer.
- Pay for any extra time and collect your car, which Charlie Brown's says it has ready on return.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about Charlie Brown's valet lot?
- October 2024, 5 stars: "when they pick you up at airport you get to the Charlie Brown lot and your car is waiting for you"
- November 2023, 5 stars: "Friendly worker, easy check in, shuttle service great, easy check out."
- September 2025, 4 stars: "we had to wait for over an hour"
- March 2025, 1 star: "If your car is damaged while in the parking lot~ not matter what, it won’t be their fault."
Praise repeats: three reviews call the staff friendly, courteous or nice, three call the drop-off or shuttle quick or easy, and one says the car was running and ready on return. A February 2024 reviewer called the price very reasonable.
The complaints are specific. The two most recent reviews, from September and October 2025, both describe slow pickups on the way home, one of 35 to 40 minutes near 11:30 at night and one of more than an hour; both still gave 4 stars. The 1-star review, from March 2025, reports damage that Charlie Brown's would not accept as its fault. A January 2024 reviewer was waiting on a refund after a shortened stay.
All nine reviews predate the new terminal's November 18, 2025 opening, so the shuttle routine may have changed. ParkingAccess customers booked Charlie Brown's 16 times in the last 12 months, with an average stay of 6.9 days.
