USDLast verified: October 13, 2026, the day BUR's new terminal opened, and October 14 for the driving notice. Rates, lots and shuttle details come from the airport's new website, hollywoodburbankairport.com, as published that day. Off-site prices are ParkingAccess quotes for Southwest Parking Burbank: 3 days quoted October 12, 2026, and 7 nights quoted September 18, 2026, both at the same $18 daily rate.
Disclosure: ParkingAccess sells reservations for Southwest Parking Burbank, the off-site lot priced on this page, and earns a commission plus a $9.95 service fee on each booking. The airport's own lots cannot be booked through ParkingAccess.
Hollywood Burbank Airport opened its new 14-gate terminal on October 13, 2026. Its daily maximums are now $24 in Lot G, $28 in Lot F, $49 in the Terminal Garage and $59 for valet, tax included, and the airport runs a shuttle from Lots F and G. Lots C and E are no longer listed. Seven days costs $24 x 7 = $168 in Lot G. Southwest Parking Burbank, an off-site lot on Empire Avenue, was quoted at $149.05 for 7 nights with taxes and fees.
Driving to the new terminal (checked October 14, 2026). On opening day, Apple Maps and Google Maps were still sending some drivers to the old terminal, CBS Los Angeles reported on October 13. The airport's main entrance is now at Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way, not off Thornton Avenue (Elevate BUR FAQ, NBC Los Angeles). Set your map to that intersection, not the terminal's name, and allow extra time. The airport told CBS it is working with map and rideshare companies on the routing.
What the airport charges in Lots F and G, the Terminal Garage and valet
The airport lists four places to park at the new terminal: Lot G at $24 a day, Lot F at $28, the Terminal Garage at $49 and valet at $59. Every price includes the City of Burbank parking tax. None of them can be reserved right now: you drive in and pay when you leave.
| Airport facility | How you reach the terminal | First hour | Each extra 30 minutes | Daily maximum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot G (long term) | Airport shuttle | $5 | $3 | $24 |
| Lot F (long term) | Airport shuttle | $5 | $3 | $28 |
| Terminal Garage, self-park (short term) | At the terminal | $9 | $5 | $49 |
| Valet, Valet Center in the Terminal Garage | At the terminal | Not published | Not published | $59 |
All airport facilities are open 24 hours a day and allow stays of up to 30 days. Pay at an Express Pay Station, at the cashier booth or at the express lane exit columns of Lot F, Lot G or the garage. The pay stations take American Express, Diners, Mastercard, Visa, Discover and bank ATM debit cards.
What changed on October 13. The garage and valet moved to the new terminal, and the daily maximums rose from $42 to $49 in the garage and from $40 to $59 for valet. Lot G dropped from $26 to $24. Lot E, which closed on October 13, and Lot C, closed since August 16, are no longer on the airport's parking pages. The airport now says shuttle service to and from Lots F and G is provided.
Parked at the old terminal? If you left your car in the old parking structure or with valet before October 13, the airport gives you 30 days after October 13, 2026 to collect it. For lot conditions, call the parking hotline at 818.729.2245. For other parking questions, call 818.840.8838 or email [email protected].
The new BUR terminal: where each option leaves you
BUR now has one terminal with 14 gates, used by every commercial airline. The Terminal Garage and the Valet Center are at the terminal. Lots F and G are served by an airport shuttle.
| Where you park | How you get to the terminal |
|---|---|
| Terminal Garage | Walk from the garage. It is the airport's short-term parking at the new terminal |
| Valet | Leave the car at the Valet Center in the Terminal Garage. To get it back, call or text 818.626.3922, use an airport courtesy phone and enter your ticket number, or use an express pay kiosk in the terminal |
| Lots F and G | Airport shuttle. Shuttles for the airport lots stop at the ground transportation islands in front of the terminal. The airport does not publish how often they run |
| Southwest Parking Burbank (off-site) | The lot's listing says you walk, with no shuttle. That 5 to 10 minute walk was measured to the old terminal. No walking route to the new terminal has been published, so allow extra time |
Airport lots or the off-site lot: what 3 and 7 days cost
For 7 nights, Southwest Parking Burbank was quoted at $149.05 with taxes and fees, $168 - $149.05 = $18.95 less than Lot G. For 3 days it was quoted at $69.85, $2.15 less than Lot G.
| Where you park | 3 days | 7 days |
|---|---|---|
| Lot G | $24 x 3 = $72 | $24 x 7 = $168 |
| Lot F | $28 x 3 = $84 | $28 x 7 = $196 |
| Terminal Garage | $49 x 3 = $147 | $49 x 7 = $343 |
| Valet | $59 x 3 = $177 | $59 x 7 = $413 |
| Southwest Parking Burbank, booked on ParkingAccess | $69.85, quoted October 12, 2026 for 3 days from October 13 | $28.45 online + $120.60 at the lot = $149.05, quoted September 18, 2026 for October 2 to 9 |
The airport rows multiply the daily maximum by the number of days. The airport does not say whether a day runs 24 hours from entry, so a late return can add part or all of one more day. Both Southwest Parking Burbank quotes use its $18.00 daily rate, which was unchanged in every ParkingAccess quote from October 9 to 13, and include taxes and the $9.95 service fee. Search your own dates for an exact price.

- Disabled parking: the airport's accessibility page still names the short-term structure and Lot C, which is closed, and has not been updated for the new terminal. For wheelchair or skycap help, use a white courtesy phone in the terminal or call 818.795.6087.
- EV charging: self-park chargers in the Terminal Garage cost $0.50 per kWh, paid by credit card at the station, plus the posted parking rate. Valet charging costs a $20.00 handling fee for each session.
- Motorcycles: any marked stall in a surface lot, at that lot's posted rate. Not in the garage.
- Tall vehicles and RVs: neither the airport nor the Southwest Parking Burbank listing publishes rules. Call the airport's parking line at 818.840.8838 before you drive a tall vehicle into the garage.
Who should skip which option
The garage and valet suit short stays. Lots F and G, with the shuttle, and the off-site lot suit trips of several days.
| Option | Skip it if |
|---|---|
| Terminal Garage, $49 a day | You are away more than a day or two. Seven days costs $343. |
| Valet, $59 a day | Price matters more than convenience. Valet costs $59 - $24 = $35 a day more than Lot G. |
| Lot F, $28 a day | Lot G has room. Lot G is $4 a day cheaper with the same shuttle. |
| Lot G, $24 a day | You need a space held for you. The airport's pre-booking is paused. |
| Southwest Parking Burbank | You need covered parking, drive an oversized vehicle, or cannot face an unknown walk to the new terminal with your bags. |
