As part of our parking series, today I wanted to give you some tips on where you can park, the next time you head on down to O Hare Airport.  You’re going to find that Chicago is one crazy city and when you find yourself at the airport, you’re going to be a little overwhelmed.

Parking can be a hassle, but thankfully for the great old Internet, you can do your homework ahead of time.  I did some research online and came up with some of the best places that you can park.

The Hotels in the Area

Many of the hotels around the Chicago area will allow you to stay the night, park on their premises, and they will even give you a shuttle to the airport and back.

Here are a few that you can check out…

  • Best Western Ohare (around $6/day) – 1 mile away
  • Hyatt Regency Ohare (around $6/day) – 3.25 miles away
  • Crowne Plaza Ohare (around $6/day) – 3 miles away
  • Embassy Suites Rosemont (around $8/day) – 1 mile away

The Airport Parking Lots

If you’re not interested in staying in a hotel, there are a few solo parking lots that allow you to park for as long as you want.  They will either charge by the day, or the week, depending on where you stay.

  • Pride Airport Parking - They have a free shuttle, valet parking, and is open 24 hours.  They are only 5 blocks from the airport!  Prices range from $8 – $6.
  • Park N Jet - Only a 5-7 minute ride to the airport.  You can even get a car wash and detail while you’re away!  The prices rang from $9 to $6.

Parking at the Airport

If you don’t mind paying some extra money and you’re not going to be that gone that long, you can park directly at the airport.

Listed below are a few lots that you can check out…

  • Main Parking Lots A/B/C: These range from $2 to $31+.  This is for daily parking and you’re charged per hour.
  • Valet Parking: Valet parking is available and runs from $10 to $46.
  • Economy Lot E/F: The economy lot that’s a little further from the airport.  This ranges from $2 to $9 for the day.
  • International Lot D: This lot is for those in the International section.  This is going to range from $2 to $51 for the day.
