Source: SFB's parking page. Every paid lot starts with 15 free minutes, then charges $2.00 every 20 minutes up to the daily rate, which repeats every 24 hours. SFB sets the price by the time a car enters, not when it leaves, so a car entering Lot A before October 1 falls under the $15.00 rate. Rates change by date.
| Trip length | Lot A or B, before October 1 | Lot A or B, from October 1 | Garage, from October 1 | Hourly Lot, from October 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $45.00 | $51.00 | $69.00 | $90.00 |
| 5 days | $75.00 | $85.00 | $115.00 | $150.00 |
| 7 days | $105.00 | $119.00 | $161.00 | $210.00 |
From October 1, a week in Lot A or Lot B costs $119.00, which is $42.00 less than the Garage. The increase is $2.00 a day, 13.3 percent, or $14.00 over 7 days.
SFB's parking page does not use the name Economy Lot. Archived copies of the page from August 4, 2025 and November 9, 2025 list the same five lots, Lot A, Lot B, Hourly, Garage and the Cell Lot, with Lot A and Lot B already at $15.00. SFB does not say when an Economy name was last used. Separately, the Sanford Airport Authority took bids until January 21, 2025 for an 856-space remote lot near Marquette Avenue and Sipes Avenue; SFB's parking page lists no remote lot today.
How do SFB's free shuttle and walkways connect Lot A and Lot B to the Terminal?
The shuttle does not enter the Garage or the Hourly Lot, which are a short walk from the Terminal. Because the shuttle window follows scheduled flights, a flight landing far behind schedule can miss it; the walkway from Lot A or Lot B is the fallback. SFB does not publish where the shuttle stops, and most of its lot descriptions refer to one Terminal building.
SFB says its paid lots are within walking distance of the Terminal, while the Cell Phone Lot, under a mile away, is not walkable. SFB's address is 1200 Red Cleveland Blvd, Sanford, Florida 32773, and its main phone is (407) 585-4000; parking questions go to [email protected].
Arrival steps at Lot A or Lot B
- Drive toward the Terminal on Red Cleveland Boulevard. Lot B is on the right before the Terminal; Lot A is just past the Garage.
- Drive in without a ticket. SFB's ticketless system reads your plate and tracks your time.
- Park and note your row. Accessible spaces sit near the shuttle pickup.
- Board the free shuttle, allowing at least 15 minutes, or take the walkway.
Return steps from the Terminal
- Before leaving the Terminal, you can pay with cash or card at the pay-on-foot kiosk on level 1 near Baggage Claims 1 and 2, or pay by phone and exit within 20 minutes.
- Ride the shuttle back to Lot A or Lot B, or walk.
- At the exit, the kiosk reads your plate and shows what you owe. It accepts credit cards only.
- If your vehicle qualifies for courtesy parking, press the Call button at the exit first.
