Short stays bill by the hour at VSP until the daily maximum: $7 an hour on the rooftop, $8 on the surface lot and $9 covered. A new day starts at the same clock time you entered. VSP's older pages disagree: its 2023 FAQ lists $20, $22 and $27, and an old reservations page $21, $23 and $29. This page uses the August 2026 Rates page.
How does the VSP shuttle reach the BUR terminal, and what changes on October 13?
Where you park changes the walk. Surface lot customers are picked up and dropped off at their car. Rooftop parkers walk down up to 2 flights of stairs to the ground-level shuttle stop, and covered parkers up to 1 flight. VSP asks you to arrive only 5 minutes before you need to be at the airport. The airport says off-airport parking shuttles use the ground transportation islands in front of the terminal.
Arriving at VSP Parking
- If you want a guaranteed parking area, reserve on vspparking.com at least 24 hours ahead. Otherwise drive up; VSP says attendants will tell you what is open.
- Use the main entrance at 2616 N. Hollywood Way for rooftop or covered parking. Surface lot parkers can also use the gate at 3175 Thornton Ave.
- Park and lock your car. VSP describes itself as a park and lock facility, so you keep your keys.
- Board the shuttle at your car (surface lot) or at the ground-level stop (rooftop and covered). Staff can help with bags.
- Ride about 2 minutes to the terminal.
Returning to VSP Parking
- Go to the stop signed "OFF AIRPORT PARKING SHUTTLES" where you were dropped off. VSP's instructions for the current terminal place it 2 islands out, in front of Terminal B; from October 13, 2026, follow the new terminal's signs.
- If no VSP shuttle is waiting, call (818) 842-5702 and one should arrive within a couple of minutes, according to VSP.
- Ride back. Surface lot customers are dropped at their car; rooftop and covered customers next to the parking structure.
- Pay at the exit by cash, debit card or major credit card.
- Landing late? VSP closes at 11 PM with no vehicle access until 5 AM. Call (818) 842-9338 about a delayed flight into Burbank.
