There are 8 Bradley Airport parking facilities and 3 superior private sites that travelers at Bradley airport might want to be aware of. Spending just a few short minutes learning the airport parking layout will assist you to easily find a great parking spot and have you moving without any hassle on your trip.
Bradley International Airport (BDL) is a small-sized airport with fewer than 10 million passengers traveling through every, according to J.D. Power and Associates’ airport review. Despite its size, parking at Bradley airport has always been a problem. In the last few years, improving Bradley airport parking has been relentlessly implemented.
Bradley airport parking on-site is strategically placed and can be easily reached via moving sidewalks or by free shuttle service. Less than 100 feet away from terminal A are two parking garages – the Short-term Garage and the Long-term Garage. Lot B is another short-term parking lot just a few minute’s walk from the terminals. 4 more long-term parking locations are a short drive away via the airport’s shuttle service.
Parking at the Short-term garage and Lot B at Bradley is at $2.50 for every half hour and $4.50 for every one hour. Daily parking at Lot B costs slightly less at $16 than at the Short-term Garage, which has a daily rate of $24. The best parking use for either of these facilities is for short 1-3 hour stay the airport.

On-airport, a number of daily parking options is in the Long-term Garage and in Lots 1, 3, 4 and 5B. The Long-term Garage is a mere 100 feet away and has the best half hour ($2.50) and hourly ($4.50) rates, or a maximum of $20 for every 24-hour period. Its weekly rate is $140. The most budget-friendly rates are in lots 1, 3, 4, and 5B which are a short drive away via shuttle service. Each has an hourly rate of $4. Lot 1 has a daily rate of $11 and a weekly rate of $77. Lot 3’s daily rate is $8, with a weekly rate of $53. Lot 5B has the best rates, published at $6 daily and $42 weekly.
Off-site BDL parking garages and lots can save you money with their enticing rates and promotional offers. Two nearby parking facilities that I can think of right now are FastTrack along Ella Grasso Turnpike and Park Shuttle & Fly along Elm St. Both offer free shuttle service on demand all day long 7 days a week. The ‘Park Sleep Fly’ schemes available at most nearby hotels is a very cost-effective alternative, also. An example of this is the Clarion Inn and Suites on Bridge St, less than 4 miles from the airport. They provide free parking for up to 15 days, with on demand shuttle service, starting at $89 per night.
Bradley airport parking doesn’t have to be a stressful chore for you. Just do a basic online search to familiarize yourself with your options. Always confirm rates with off-airport facilities for the best discounts available. You’re bound to discover a solution that fits your budget if you do your homework.
