How to get the lowest Midway parking rate

  • Book online early. Pre-booking 1–2 weeks in advance saves 10–20% over walk-up rates at all major off-airport lots. Rates climb as your travel date approaches.
  • Use promo codes. The Parking Spot and Park 'N Fly both offer first-time customer discount codes. Check the lot websites before booking.
  • Compare lots for your exact dates. Off-airport lot pricing is dynamic — the cheapest lot changes day by day, especially around peak travel periods and holidays.
  • Avoid holiday peak dates. Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, and summer holidays drive up lot prices at all MDW parking options. Book further in advance for these periods.
  • Use rewards programs. The Parking Spot's rewards program accumulates points toward free parking days — a meaningful benefit for frequent Chicago travelers.

Is the Midway economy lot cheaper than off-airport?

At $20/day, the Midway Economy Lot is cheaper than O'Hare's on-airport economy rate of $22/day, but it is still 2.5x more expensive than off-airport lots starting at $8/day. The main advantage of the Midway Economy Lot is its direct walkway connection to the terminal — no shuttle required.

For solo travelers on 1-day trips, the convenience of walking directly from the car to the terminal may justify the extra cost. For multi-day trips with any number of travelers, off-airport parking at $8–14/day is the clear winner — the 10–20 minute shuttle is a small trade-off for saving $84+ on a week-long trip.
