USDDisclosure: ParkingAccess sells reservations for the off-site lots priced on this page and earns a commission plus a $9.95 service fee on each booking. The airport's own garages and lots cannot be booked through ParkingAccess.
FLL's three garages charge $2 per 20 minutes, up to $20 a day on long-term levels and $36 a day on short-term levels; curbside valet is $30 a day and an overflow lot opens at $10 a day at peak periods. Those rates took effect November 20, 2024. The cheapest live off-site quote for 7 nights, November 6 to November 13, 2026, was $53.27 all-in at Homewood Suites, 1.2 miles out, against $140 for the same week in a long-term garage. Long-term levels are Hibiscus 3 to 7, Palm 2 to 4 and Cypress 6 to 9. The airport publishes no reservation option, so a guaranteed space means booking off-site.
What FLL charges in its own garages
Every garage runs the same clock: $2 per 20-minute interval up to the daily maximum, $20 on long-term levels and $36 on short-term levels. Curbside valet is a flat $30 a day with no proration, the overflow lot is $10 a day at peak periods only, and the first 20 minutes are free.
| Option | Where | Rate | Daily maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term self-park | Hibiscus levels 3 to 7, Palm levels 2 to 4, Cypress levels 6 to 9 | $2 per 20 minutes | $20 |
| Short-term self-park | Palm level 1, Hibiscus level 2 only | $2 per 20 minutes | $36 |
| Curbside valet | Departures level, west end of Terminal 1 and west end of Terminal 4 | $30 per day, no proration | $30 |
| Overflow lot | Address not published; peak periods only | $10 per day | $10 |
The figures took effect November 20, 2024, per the airport's rate change notice, which raised the long-term maximum from $15 to $20 and valet from $25 to $30, kept short-term at $36, and set the $2 per 20-minute increment, the first increase since 2015. The parking page showed the same numbers on October 22, 2026 and prints no effective date.
The airport warns that valet and self-parking can close temporarily at capacity during peak periods. Neither the parking page nor the payment options page offers a reservation or prepayment. Cashier booths take cash, checks (starter checks are not accepted) and cards including Apple Pay and Google Pay, a self-service lane takes the ticket and a credit card, and the SunPass Plus lane bills your transponder with no extra fee.
Which garage serves which terminal
The airport's current website has no garage-to-terminal map. It does say the Palm Garage's first floor is across a pedestrian crosswalk from Terminal 3, and it names an RCC/Cypress Garage Shuttle at GTA 1 and GTA 3.
| Garage | Long-term levels | What the airport's pages say | How you reach it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palm Garage | 2 to 4; short-term on level 1 | Rideshare pickup for Terminals 3 and 4 on its first floor | From Terminal 3, turn right and cross the pedestrian crosswalk |
| Cypress Garage | 6 to 9 | Served by the RCC/Cypress Garage Shuttle, named at GTA 1 and GTA 3 | The Rental Car Center courtesy shuttle runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day |
| Hibiscus Garage | 3 to 7; short-term on level 2 | Terminal not published | Not published |
| Curbside valet | Not a garage | West end of Terminal 1 and west end of Terminal 4 | Departures level roadway |
Sources: the airport's ride share pickup page and ground transportation page. Walking times are not published. Off-airport shuttles pick up on the Arrivals level: Terminal 1 and 2 passengers use GTA 1, Terminal 3 and 4 passengers use GTA 3. GTA 2 has been closed since March 10, 2025 and GTA 4, east of Terminal 4, since April 11, 2025, both until further notice while a connector walkway is built, though the same page still lists a Tri-Rail stop at GTA 2.
Airport garage or off-site lot: what 3 and 7 nights cost
A week in a long-term garage costs $140 at the $20 maximum. The lowest live off-site quote for November 6 to November 13, 2026 was $53.27 all-in at Homewood Suites, a gap of $86.73. The gap is widest for valet: $210 curbside against $102.81 for garage valet at the Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport lot.
| Option | 3 nights | 7 nights (Nov 6 to Nov 13, 2026) | How the number is built |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term garage | $60 | $140 | $20 maximum x nights |
| Short-term garage | $108 | $252 | $36 maximum x nights |
| Curbside valet | $90 | $210 | $30 x nights |
| Overflow lot (peak only) | $30 | $70 | $10 x nights |
| Homewood Suites, uncovered self-park | Not quoted | $53.27 | Total quoted with taxes and the $9.95 fee |
| Springhill Suites, uncovered self-park | Not quoted | $59.59 | Total quoted with taxes and the $9.95 fee |
| Park By The Ports, uncovered self-park | Not quoted | $85.36 | Quoted for what the lot counts as 8 days |
| Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport, garage valet | Not quoted | $102.81 | Total quoted with taxes and the $9.95 fee |
Garage rows multiply the daily maximum by the nights; the airport does not say how it prices a short final day, so treat them as the ceiling. Off-site rows are the totals ParkingAccess quoted for those dates on October 22, 2026. We ran only the 7-night search, so the 3-night off-site cells say not quoted. Against $140 the savings were $86.73 at Homewood, $80.41 at Springhill, $54.64 at Park By The Ports and $37.19 at the Marriott.
The off-site lots you can book on ParkingAccess
Eleven lots came back for November 6 to November 13, 2026, all within 4.4 miles, at $5.95 to $11.95 a day, and four more were sold out. Eight are uncovered self-park lots, and shuttle frequency is listed for only four.

| Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) | 166 N Compass Way, Dania Beach, FL | 1.5 miles | Garage, Valet | Not listed | None shown | $11.95/day | $102.81 for 7 days |
Park By The Ports counts these dates as 8 days, so its total covers one more day. Its home page says airport shuttles run on demand 24 hours a day, staff help with luggage, and the return shuttle is requested through a link on the claim ticket; it charges $10 per person beyond the first 4. "Not listed" means the search results show no shuttle frequency, not that there is no shuttle, so call the lot if you land late. Hampton Inn & Suites, Gold Coast Cruise and Fly Parking, FLL Quick Park and Rodeway Inn & Suites were sold out for these dates. See live prices for November 6 to 13, 2026, then change the dates.
Getting to FLL: pickups, rideshare, taxis, bus and train
The airport's current website has no directions page and no cell phone lot page. Rideshare and taxi pickups are on the lower (Arrivals) level, Broward County Transit Route 1 stops at the Rental Car Center for a $2 cash fare, and Tri-Rail runs a free shuttle between the terminals and its Dania Beach station every 15 to 20 minutes during train hours.
| Option | Cost | Where at FLL |
|---|---|---|
| Short-term garage for a pickup | Free if you exit within 20 minutes; then $2 per 20 minutes up to $36 a day | Palm level 1 or Hibiscus level 2 |
| Rideshare pickup | Fee not published by the airport | Terminal 1: Zone Z. Terminal 2: GTA 2. Terminals 3 and 4: Palm Garage first floor. Drop-off on the upper level |
| Taxi | Regulated fares; the airport lists $18 to $21 to Port Everglades, $72 to Miami International, $135 to Palm Beach International | Dispatch stands on the Arrivals level at all four terminals |
| Broward County Transit Route 1 | $2 one-way cash fare, exact fare required; $5 all-day pass; $1 reduced fare | Rental Car Center, Stop G |
| Tri-Rail airport shuttle | Free for Tri-Rail passengers, about every 15 to 20 minutes during train hours | GTA 1 west of Terminal 1, GTA 2 as listed, GTA 3 between Terminals 3 and 4 |
The Tri-Rail station at 500 Gulf Stream Way is no bargain for a week: registered passengers park free for 12 hours a day, then pay $2 an hour or $12 a day, so 7 days would run about $84 at the daily rate before the shuttle, our estimate rather than a published price. A Route 1 round trip is $4 in cash. The airport's address is 100 Terminal Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315.
Two dated items: Air Canada moved from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 on September 15, 2026, per the airport's September 2026 newsletter, and the airport's cruise passenger page warns that on peak cruise days airlines may check bags only up to two hours before the flight. The airport has posted no Thanksgiving 2026 parking advisory that we could find as of October 22.
Accessible parking, EV charging and oversize vehicles
Drivers with a disabled parking designation arrange the courtesy fee at a cashier booth. The airport's current website publishes no EV charging, garage clearance or oversize-vehicle information, so none is stated here.
The payment options page lists the courtesy designation without its terms, so call the valet and parking line at 954-359-8108 before you travel. The off-site lots above are surface lots except the Marriott garage, whose clearance is not listed.
Who should skip the garages, and who should skip the off-site lots
The garages suit short trips and anyone who wants to walk to the terminal. The off-site lots suit trips of 3 nights or more and anyone who needs a guaranteed space.
| Skip the airport garages if | Skip the off-site lots if |
|---|---|
| You are away 7 nights and can ride a 10-minute shuttle; the gap was $86.73 | You are away one or two nights and the shuttle wait outweighs the saving |
| You need a guaranteed space; the airport takes no reservations and garages can close at capacity | Your party is 5 or more at a lot that charges per extra rider, as Park By The Ports does at $10 beyond 4 |
| You want valet for a week: $210 curbside against $102.81 at the Marriott garage valet lot | You land after the lot's last hourly shuttle and have not confirmed a late pickup |
| You would rather pay a fixed all-in price than a ticket clock | You want covered parking; only the Marriott, Aloft and Harrison lots are garages |
