USDLast verified: September 18, 2026. Rates, lot closures and the October 13 changes come from the airport's website, hollywoodburbankairport.com, and its terminal project site, elevatebur.com, as published that day. The off-site price is a live ParkingAccess search run the same day for October 2 to 9, 2026.
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 charges a daily maximum of $26 in Lot G, $28 in Lot F, $42 in the Short Term Parking Structure and $40 for valet, tax included. Lot C closed on August 16, 2026. Southwest Parking Burbank, a lot on Empire Avenue you walk from, came to $28.45 paid online plus $120.60 paid at the lot, $149.05 in all, for 7 nights (October 2 to 9, 2026). Seven days costs $26 x 7 = $182 in Lot G and $28 x 7 = $196 in Lot F. The airport has announced new rates for October 13, when its parking structure and valet move to the new terminal.
What the airport charges at each lot, the structure and valet
Every airport price includes the City of Burbank parking tax. The open economy lots are Lot G at $26 a day and Lot F at $28. Lot E also charges $28 until it closes on October 13. Lot C is closed. None of them can be reserved right now: you drive in and pay when you leave.
| Airport facility | Status on September 18, 2026 | Up to 1 hour | Daily maximum now | Announced from October 13, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Lot G | Open. Mostly uncovered, a few covered spaces first come, first served | $5 | $26 | $24 |
| Economy Lot F | Open | $5 | $28 | $28 |
| Economy Lot E | Open until it closes permanently on October 13, 2026 | $5 | $28 | Closed |
| Short Term Parking Structure | Open. Four stories, directly across from the terminal. Moves to the new terminal on October 13 | $5 | $42 | $49 |
| Valet | Open. Moves to the new terminal on October 13 | $20 | $40 | $59 |
| Economy Lot C | Closed since August 16, 2026 | Closed | Closed | Closed |
The airport's pages disagree with themselves. Its rate tables show the daily maximums above, while the same pages announce rates "Effective October 13, 2026" of $28 for Lot F, $24 for Lot G, $49 for the parking structure and $59 for valet. The airport does not explain the gap. We print the tables as today's rates, so check the airport's page again if you park on or after October 13.
After the first day, additional-day rates apply, capped at the same daily maximum: in Lots E, F and G, $5 for up to 30 minutes and $7 for up to an hour. All airport facilities are open 24 hours a day and allow stays of up to 30 days.
Pay by card. The lot tables say "Credit card or Express Pay ticket transactions only." To skip the paper ticket, insert a credit card at the entry column and the same card at the Express Exit Lane. Valet kiosks also take Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay.
Ignore two older figures. Lot C, the $16-a-day shuttle lot, closed on August 16 for the terminal construction, although its rate table is still printed under the closure notice. Valet is $40, not the $27 that older guides, including an earlier version of this page, listed. Space is tight, too: on the morning of September 18 the airport's live tile showed 5 open spaces in Lot E, 11 in Lot F and 82 in Lot G. The lot conditions hotline is 818.729.2245.
Terminals A and B: where each option leaves you
The airport does not assign lots to terminals. Terminal A has nine gates and Terminal B has five, and each has its own security checkpoint. The Short Term Parking Structure is directly across from the terminal, and the airport says Lots E, F and G have pedestrian access. It describes no shuttle for any open lot.
| Where you park | How you reach Terminals A and B | Distance published |
|---|---|---|
| Short Term Parking Structure | Walk across to the terminal | Directly across from the terminal |
| Valet | Leave the car at the Valet Center. To get it back, call or text 818.626.3922, or use the kiosk just before the exit doors of Terminal A | Not published |
| Economy Lots E, F and G | On foot | Not published |
| Southwest Parking Burbank (off-site) | Walk one block across Empire Avenue. No shuttle | 0.6 miles from BUR on the ParkingAccess listing; a 5 to 10 minute walk in the lot's description |
This changes in October. The new 14-gate terminal, in the airport's northeast quadrant, is scheduled to open in October 2026, and the structure and valet move there on October 13. The project site says it comes with a new parking structure with EV charging. No walking route from Lots F and G, or from Empire Avenue, to the new building has been published, so allow extra time if you fly on or after October 13.
Airport lots or the walk-over lot: what 3 and 7 nights cost
For 7 nights from October 2 to 9, 2026, Southwest Parking Burbank came to $28.45 online plus $120.60 at the lot, $149.05 in total. That is $182 - $149.05 = $32.95 less than Lot G, and $196 - $149.05 = $46.95 less than Lot F.
| Where you park | 3 nights | 7 nights, October 2 to 9, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Lot G | $26 x 3 = $78 | $26 x 7 = $182 |
| Economy Lot F | $28 x 3 = $84 | $28 x 7 = $196 |
| Short Term Parking Structure | $42 x 3 = $126 | $42 x 7 = $294 |
| Valet | $40 x 3 = $120 | $40 x 7 = $280 |
| Southwest Parking Burbank, booked on ParkingAccess | Not quoted for 3 nights. Listed at $18.00 a day before taxes and fees | $28.45 online + $120.60 at the lot = $149.05 |
The airport rows multiply the daily maximum by the number of days, at the rates printed on September 18. 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. Lot E costs the same as Lot F while it is open. The Southwest Parking Burbank total is the live quote for those dates, with taxes and the $9.95 service fee included. We did not run a 3-night search, so search your own dates.
For a trip that starts on or after October 13, the announced rates give $24 x 7 = $168 in Lot G, $28 x 7 = $196 in Lot F, $49 x 7 = $343 in the parking structure and $59 x 7 = $413 for valet.
Southwest Parking Burbank: the walk-over lot on Empire Avenue
Southwest Parking Burbank is an uncovered self-park lot at 4500 Empire Avenue, listed 0.6 miles from the airport. It has no shuttle because you walk to the terminal, so there is no bus to wait for at either end of your trip. It is the only lot ParkingAccess can book at BUR.

| Total for 7 nights, October 2 to 9, 2026 | $28.45 + $120.60 = $149.05 |
ParkingAccess charges the $28.45 online part, which includes the $9.95 service fee, and you pay the $120.60 balance at the lot. Taxes and fees are shown before you pay, you are not charged until the lot confirms the reservation, and cancellation is free up to 1 hour before drop-off. ParkingAccess has booked parking online since 2003.
The lot's 5 to 10 minute walk is to the current terminal; the walk to the new one has not been published. The listing gives no rules for oversized vehicles or RVs and no phone number, and we found no website run by the lot. When we checked on September 18, ParkWhiz showed no parking at the airport for October 2 to 9, and SpotHero's BUR page showed no named lots.
Getting to the airport: entrances, pickups, rideshare and trains
Use the Empire Avenue entrance while Hollywood Way lane closures continue. You can drop off at the curb but not wait there, and the airport publishes no cell phone lot. Two train stations serve the airport, each with a free on-demand shuttle.
| Getting there by | What to know |
|---|---|
| Car | Lane closures on Hollywood Way between Tulare and Thornton Avenues are expected to end during September. Until then, use the Empire Avenue entrance or enter westbound off Thornton Avenue. |
| Picking someone up | "Curbside waiting is not allowed," and no cell phone lot is published. Park in the Short Term Parking Structure, $3 for up to 30 minutes or $5 for up to an hour, and meet in the Terminal A or Terminal B baggage claim. |
| Rideshare pickup | The ground transportation island across from the Terminal B entrance. |
| Metrolink Ventura County Line or Amtrak Pacific Surfliner | Burbank Airport-South station, on Empire Avenue. Cross Empire Avenue to the elevated walkway at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC), or call 818.565.1308 for the free shuttle, 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. |
| Metrolink Antelope Valley Line | Burbank Airport-North station, near Hollywood Way and San Fernando Road. Call 818.729.2245 for the free shuttle, 5:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily. From the terminal, meet it at the Valet Parking area. |
| Bus | Two Metro Bus lines and BurbankBus stop at the RITC. BurbankBus runs to the Metro North Hollywood Station Monday through Friday. |
The airport's train page still tells South station riders to board the Lot C shuttle. Lot C is closed, so call 818.565.1308 instead. The walkway has stairs and an elevator but no escalator on the terminal side, and the RITC rental car counters are 1,100 feet from the terminal, about a 7-minute walk.
Accessible parking, EV charging, motorcycles and oversized vehicles
Disabled parking is in the Short Term Parking Structure, where an elevator serves all four levels and marked spaces require a disabled placard. The structure has one EV charger. No height limit or oversized-vehicle rule is published.
- Disabled parking: The airport's accessibility page also names Lot C and its wheelchair-accessible shuttle, but Lot C is closed. Whether Lots E, F and G have marked disabled spaces is not published. For wheelchair or skycap help, call 818.795.6087.
- EV charging: One charger in the structure now, paid by credit card, plus posted parking rates. Valet charges on request for a handling fee the airport does not list. From October 13, the airport has announced $0.50 per kWh for self-park charging in the structure.
- Motorcycles: Any marked stall in a surface lot, at that lot's posted rate. Not in the Short Term Parking Structure.
- 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 four-story structure.
Who should skip which option
Every option has a trade-off. The structure and valet suit short stays and the shortest walk. The economy lots and the walk-over lot suit trips of several days.
| Option | Skip it if |
|---|---|
| Short Term Parking Structure, $42 a day | You are away more than a day or two. Seven days costs $294, the most of any option here, and $49 a day is announced from October 13. |
| Valet, $40 a day | Price matters more than convenience. Valet costs $40 - $26 = $14 a day more than Lot G, and $59 a day is announced from October 13. |
| Economy Lot F or Lot G | You need a space held for you. The airport's pre-booking is paused, and on September 18 its live tile showed 11 open spaces in Lot F and 82 in Lot G. |
| Economy Lot E | Your car will still be parked on October 13, when the lot closes. The airport does not say what happens to cars left there. |
| Southwest Parking Burbank | You need covered parking, drive an oversized vehicle, cannot walk 5 to 10 minutes with your bags, or fly on or after October 13 and cannot risk a longer walk to the new terminal. |
| Economy Lot C | Always. It closed on August 16, 2026. |
