Chicago O'Hare International Airport has increased the daily and hourly parking rates as of January 1, 2020. The Main Garage and Daily Lots within walking distance to the terminals are now $42 per day, which makes ORD Airport parking the most expensive in America. 

Although the on-airport parking rates are now at a premium, it is still possible to find great deals on O'Hare Long Term Parking. There are several off-site private parking operators as well as three economy lots within a few minutes of O'Hare Airport. The parking lots are safe, well-run, and have reliable shuttles. You can feel confident in leaving your car at O'Hare while you are on vacation.

How does it work?

Show your online booking confirmation to a staff member while a valet professional takes care of parking your car. Wally Park will know your arrival time when you make your online reservation, so they will have a shuttle ready and waiting for you. A friendly shuttle driver will load your luggage for you onto the shuttle while you find your seat and get comfortable.

Wally Park ORD shuttles circle the airport terminal loop continually to pick up arriving passengers. There will be a WallyPark shuttle arriving every 5 minutes. When you return from your trip, you will meet the WallyPark shuttle at the ground transportation area of the O'Hare Airport.

ORD Economy Lots

Chicago O'Hare International Airport provides three economy lots for drivers planning to leave their car for an extended period of time.

Shuttle buses operate between the economy lots to bring passengers to Economy Lot E where they will board the Airport Transit System (ATS) to their desired terminal. The ATS train goes to both the domestic and international terminals. The shuttles are wheelchair accessible and can accommodate two passengers riding in wheelchairs at a time.

Please Note: As of January 2019, the ATS is closed for renovations. ORD Airport has provided shuttle buses that operate between each of the parking lots to the domestic and international terminals. The ATS is expected to return to service in early 2020.

 

Economy Parking Lot G
