What does Jiffy Airport Parking cost next to the SEA garage?
| Option | Daily rate | 7 days | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jiffy Airport Parking self-park, October 6 to 13, 2026 | $13.49 to $14.49 before fees and tax | $127.09 with fees and tax | Jiffy booking engine, September 15, 2026 |
| SEA General Parking, garage floors 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 | $37.00, taxes included | $222.00 weekly rate | SEA parking page and tariff |
| SEA Reserved Parking, garage Floor 4 | $47.00 per 24 hours, taxes included | $329.00 for 7 full 24-hour periods | SEA parking page and tariff |
| Motel 6 (SEA), 0.9 miles from Jiffy | $8.95 median quote (19 quotes) | Quoted by date | ParkingAccess booking data |
| Fox Parking SeaTac (SEA), 1.4 miles from Jiffy | Too few quotes for a median (2) | Quoted by date | ParkingAccess booking data |
The ParkingAccess median covers quotes from June 17 to September 15, 2026, before taxes and fees. Rates change by date everywhere on this list; even inside the one Jiffy week quoted, Thursday through Saturday cost $14.49 and the other days $13.49.
How Jiffy's $127.09 quote adds up
| Line on the quote | Amount |
|---|---|
| Self Parking, 7 days (4 days at $13.49, 3 days at $14.49) | $97.43 |
| 2026 Living Wage charge, $1.35 a day for 7 days | $9.45 |
| Airport Fee and City Tax, flat for the stay | $8.24 |
| WA State Sales Tax, 10.4 percent | $11.97 |
| Total, prepaid online | $127.09 |
Fees and tax added $29.66, lifting the average from $13.92 to $18.16 a day. Jiffy's site script splits the $8.24 into a $4.00 airport access fee and a $4.24 city tax. SEA's garage prices already include sales tax and the City of SeaTac parking tax, so compare the all-in figures: $18.16 a day at Jiffy against $37.00 at the garage, or $31.71 a day on SEA's weekly rate.
Two source conflicts to know. The Port of Seattle's parking page labels its rates "effective June 1, 2023," but page 14 of SEA Airport Tariff No. 1 lists the same $37.00 and $47.00 daily charges on a schedule effective January 1, 2026. And Jiffy's FAQ says "drive up rates are subject to change," so a drive-up price may differ from a quote.
How does the Jiffy shuttle reach SEA and bring you back?
An attendant is on site 24/7/365, according to Jiffy's directions page. Shuttles pick you up at your parked car, staff load your luggage, and drivers drop you at your terminal. Jiffy recommends allowing an hour to park, ride and clear security. The site links to a live shuttle tracker but prints no timetable.
From Seattle, take I-5 South to exit 152 for S 188th Street, go about 1 mile, turn left onto Pacific Highway South and keep left to turn into the lot. From Tacoma, take I-5 North to exit 151, turn left on Military Road S, left on S 200th Street, then right on International Boulevard for about 1 mile; the lot is on the right.
Arrival steps at Jiffy
- Book on jiffyseattle.com or in the Jiffy app. Jiffy does not take reservations by phone.
- Drive to 18836 International Boulevard in SeaTac.
- Scan the barcode from your confirmation email at the entry gate, on your phone or printed. Drive-up customers pull a ticket.
- Park in any open space. Spaces are first come, first served, including accessible spaces.
- Wait at your car for the shuttle to your terminal.
Return steps from SEA
- Collect your checked bags.
- Tell Jiffy you are ready. Its FAQ says a shuttle "will be there momentarily" but not whether to call, text or use the app, so call (206) 209-2229 if unsure.
- Ride back and look over your car. Jiffy says damage must be reported to an employee before you leave.
- Scan your ticket or reservation voucher at the exit machine and pay any balance, such as extra days.
What does ParkingAccess booking data show for Jiffy Airport Parking?
The quote data does show where SEA travelers priced parking instead. Across the four SEA lots ParkingAccess can book, Motel 6 (SEA) drew 19 of 23 quotes, at a median of $8.95 a day before taxes and fees. That is $4.54 below the lowest day in Jiffy's October quote, also before fees. The other three lots drew 4 quotes combined, too few to print a median for any of them.
So every Jiffy price and policy on this page comes from Jiffy's own site, not from ParkingAccess customers.
