Chicago Airport Parking
O’Hare Parking
O’Hare Airport is the of the two commercial airports in Chicago. It is the sixth-largest airport in the world in terms of passengers. It has the airport code ORD. By taking I-90 W by car you can reach Downtown Chicago in about 20 minutes. ORD Airport has four terminals:
- Terminal 1, 2 and 3 are close to each other and are used for most flights.
- Terminal 5 is the International Terminal, where non pre-cleared international flights arrive.
There are a lot of O’Hare parking options at each terminal for short and long term parking. In the northern part of the airport there are economy parking options, which get connected to terminals via the Airport Transit System (ATS), which is free to use.
A modern Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) connects all different transportation possibilites like the ATS, shuttle buses, parking lots itself as well as car rental services. It can be accessed at this address. 10255 W. Zemke Blvd., Chicago, IL 60666.
O’Hare Parking Rates
All parking garages and lots offer short and long term parking options. For short stays at Terminal 1, 2 or 3 the Main Garage or Lot B and C are fine. For Terminal 5 there is Lot D. They all share the same rates, which is $3 for the first hour. For longer stays it is recommended to use an Economy Lot, which is available from 15$ to 22$. The above mentioned Airport Transit System can take passengers to any terminal wanted in a short time.
