DAY totals add the airport's one-time $0.99 transaction fee, and prepaid airport reservations carry a $2.99 transaction fee. All figures were checked on September 15, 2026.
On a plain 7-day economy stay, the airport lot costs $15.73 less than Park-N-Go ($63.99 against $79.72), and Park-N-Go's own comparison page concedes that without a discount, on stays beyond about five days, the airport's Economy lot is cheapest. Against DAY's Long-Term lot, Park-N-Go economy saves $19.27 over a week, and reserved valet saves $58.33 against a week in the Garage. Park-N-Go's covered spots cost $13.57 more than the Garage over 7 days.
Discounts change the order. Military members, veterans and first responders pay $6.99 a day, so a week comes to $55.78 all in, $8.21 under DAY Economy. AAA members pay $8.50, or $67.83 for a week. New customers get the first day free with code NEW on stays of 4 days or longer, which Park-N-Go puts at $34.17 for 4 days against $36.99 at DAY Economy.

How does the Park-N-Go shuttle reach the Dayton International Airport terminal?
The lot is 0.7 miles straight-line from the airport's map coordinates. Park-N-Go's own pages call it half a mile, one mile and 1.3 miles. Park-N-Go sits on National Road between Airport Toyota and Beau Townsend. From I-70, take Exit 32 toward Vandalia and Dayton Airport, take the next exit, turn right on National Road and drive half a mile; from I-75, take Exit 64A and head east. Search the business name in your GPS, because searching for the airport routes drivers into the airport garage.
Park-N-Go asks everyone to call on landing because, it says, about 25% of customers do not return at their booked time. One of its pages gives the first shuttle as 4:00 a.m. on weekdays and 3:40 a.m. on weekends, a little different from the 4am opening on its other pages. For comparison, DAY's own DAYrider shuttle to the Economy lot runs daily from 4:30 a.m. to midnight or the last arriving flight.
Arriving at 1140 W. National Rd.
- Reserve on Park-N-Go's site or app, or just drive up.
- At the gate, the license plate reader or your reservation barcode opens it. Without a reservation, press the button and pull a ticket.
- Economy: park toward the back of the lot, lock the car and keep your keys. Valet: stop at the front door and hand your keys to the clerk.
- Board the shuttle at your car or the front door; the driver loads your bags.
- Ride about 4 minutes to the terminal.
Returning from DAY
- Collect your bags and call (937) 890-7275, or check the shuttle's location in the app.
- Ride back to the lot. Economy riders are dropped at their car; valet cars wait out front, warmed up and cleared of snow in winter.
- With a prepaid reservation, the plate reader opens the exit gate. With a ticket, pay at the exit station by cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover.
- Back early, and unused days are refunded automatically. Back late, and the extra time bills at the same daily rate, with economy partial days at $2 an hour.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about Park-N-Go?
Park-N-Go's own site cites a 4.9 average across 2,738 Google reviews as of September 15, 2026. That figure is the operator's, not ParkingAccess's, and this page does not reproduce any of those reviews.
The operator's own service figures say more about what to expect than a star count. It bills economy partial days at $2 an hour, so a stay of 24 hours and 21 minutes comes to $13.67 all in, a stay Park-N-Go prices at $18.99 in DAY's Economy lot because a second day starts there.
