USDLast verified: October 22, 2026. Official rates, booking rules, shuttles and taxi fares come from cltairport.com; bus routes from charlottenc.gov; hotel-lot prices from a live ParkingAccess search for November 6 to 13, 2026.
Disclosure: ParkingAccess sells reservations for the two hotel lots priced on this page and earns a commission plus a $9.95 service fee on each booking. CLT's own decks and lots cannot be booked through ParkingAccess.
CLT's own parking costs $14 to $50 a day at the daily maximum: Long Term Lots 1 and 2 $14, Daily North $18, Express Deck $24, Daily Decks $28, Hourly Deck $35, Valet $50. The two hotel lots ParkingAccess could book for November 6 to 13 were the Radisson at $65.52 and the Sheraton at $76.81 for 7 days, against $98 for 7 days at the Long Term Lot maximum.
Correction, October 22, 2026: an earlier version of this page, including its title and headline, credited Park 'N Go Charlotte with a $6.95 rate and a 4.6-star rating. ParkingAccess does not sell Park 'N Go Charlotte, and $6.95 is the Radisson Hotel Charlotte Airport's rate. This page now prices only what we can book and what the airport publishes.
What CLT charges at its own decks and lots, and how you book each
CLT publishes a daily maximum for each product: $14 for Long Term Lots 1 and 2, $18 for Daily North, $24 for the Express Decks, $28 for the Daily Decks, $35 for the Hourly Deck and $50 for Valet. The rates took effect March 1, 2026, and the airport says dynamic pricing applies to its reservation-enabled lots, so treat each figure as a ceiling.
| CLT product | Daily maximum | How you pay | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Term Lot 1 | $14 | Online booking only | Free shuttle from shelters in the lot |
| Long Term Lot 2 | $14 | Credit card at the gate | The drive-up option at this price |
| Daily North Lot | $18 | Credit card at the gate | Rose from $14 on March 1, 2026 |
| Express Deck (Preferred and Self-Park) | $24 | Online only | Preferred stopped being valet on July 1, 2026; height limit 7 feet 6 inches |
| Daily Decks | $28 | Online only, at parkclt.com or the CLT Airport app | Free shuttle from the shelter between the two decks; height 8 feet 4 inches at the entrance and first level, 7 feet elsewhere |
| Hourly Deck | $35 | Credit card | First 15 minutes free, then $8 an hour on the first day; EV charging on Levels 4, 5 and 6; height 7 feet |
| Valet | $50 | Book at least 3 hours ahead, or drive up if online is sold out | Open 24 hours a day |
The airport's March 1 rate release lists the old rates: Long Term 1 and 2 were $12, Daily North $14, the Daily Deck and Express Self-Park $20, Hourly $32 and Valet $45. The airport's parking FAQ accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, lets you book up to six months ahead, and gives a 2-hour grace window before entry and after exit, plus 15 minutes at entry on everything except Valet.
What a night, a week and two weeks cost at the daily maximum
At the maximum, a week costs $98 in Long Term Lot 1, $126 in Daily North, $168 in an Express Deck, $196 in the Daily Decks and $350 in Valet. The Radisson hotel lot came to $65.52 for 7 nights and the Sheraton $76.81, which is $32.48 and $21.19 under the Long Term Lot maximum.
| Option | 3 days | 7 days | 14 days |

Airport figures are the daily maximum times the days; CLT does not print how it charges a partial last day or what the dynamic price is on a given date. Hotel figures are live ParkingAccess totals with taxes and the $9.95 service fee. We did not search 3 or 14 nights at the hotel lots, so check your own dates.
The two hotel lots ParkingAccess can book near CLT
For November 6 to 13, ParkingAccess returned two lots: the Radisson Hotel Charlotte Airport at $6.95 a day and the Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel at $7.95 a day. Both are uncovered self-park lots; the Sheraton is 1.4 miles from the airport and the Radisson 4.4.
| Lot | Address | Distance | Type | Live rate | 7-night total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radisson Hotel Charlotte Airport | 212 W Woodlawn Rd, Building C, Charlotte, NC | 4.4 miles from CLT | Uncovered, self-park | $6.95/day | $65.52 |
| Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel | 3315 Scott Futrell Dr, Charlotte, NC | 1.4 miles from CLT | Uncovered, self-park | $7.95/day | $76.81 |
The search results list no shuttle frequency for either lot and show no review rating, so call the hotel about shuttle hours and the parking arrangement before you rely on it. The same two lots came back for the week of October 30 to November 6. Between June 17 and September 15, 2026, ParkingAccess quoted the Radisson in 56 searches at a median of $6.95 and the Sheraton in 47 at a median of $7.95. Park 'N Go Charlotte, an independent lot near the airport, is not something ParkingAccess sells; its lot page shows a reseller listing of $14.00 a day, the same as CLT's Long Term Lot maximum.
Original research: what ParkingAccess's CLT searches show
On October 22, 2026, ParkingAccess had only two bookable lots for CLT, against 11 for Fort Lauderdale and 5 for St. Louis. The airport sells about 16,000 of its own 25,000 spaces online, so most of the market is the airport's own product.
Method: we ran the same Friday-to-Friday search, November 6 to 13, on ParkingAccess for each of the ten airports we reviewed this week and counted the lots that returned a price. The airport says about 16,000 of its 25,000 spaces can be booked online, which leaves roughly 9,000 that are not. The airport's own count comes from its 2026 outlook story.
Shuttles, CATS buses and taxis between CLT and the lots
CLT's lot shuttles are free and run around the clock every 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic; after 11 p.m. the airport asks you to call 704-359-4038 to confirm one is running. CATS runs the Sprinter bus from Uptown for $2.50, and taxis charge a flat $32 to Uptown.
| Option | Cost | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Airport lot shuttles | Free | 24 hours, every 10 to 15 minutes; after 11 p.m. call 704-359-4038 |
| CATS Sprinter | $2.50 | Charlotte Transportation Center in Uptown to the airport; route pages say every 30 minutes on weekdays, while a service-change notice says 15-minute weekday and 20-minute weekend service from October 5, 2026 |
| CATS Route 60 | Standard bus fare | Blue Line Tyvola Station to the airport every 30 minutes, 7 days a week; last airport departure 11:45 PM on weekdays |
| Taxi | $32 flat to Uptown, $16 within 3 miles, plus a $2.50 airport fee | Arrivals level outer curb, Zone 1 |
| Cell phone lot | Free | Next to Long Term Lot 1 on Josh Birmingham Pkwy; stay with your vehicle |
Charlotte has no rail to the airport today. The LYNX Silver Line is the planned airport rail line, and CATS's page states no funding status or opening date.
