ATLANTA — Starting today, it costs more to park at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
It’s the first rate increase for parking since 2017.
The airport says the change “aligns ATL’s parking prices with current economic conditions and supports the Airport’s long-term investment in new and upgraded parking facilities.”

Channel 2’s Candace McCowan spoke with several travelers for their thoughts on the changes.
Frank Chester says the days of parking and going in to get his wife Martha at the airport are done.
“10 dollars, it’s going up,” said Martha Chester.
They’re not buying into the price hike for parking at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. And they’re not alone.
“Crazy. It’s the only parking that’s close that convenient for us,” Monica Rosario said.
Here are the changes:
- South/North Hourly: Have increased from $3 per hour, $36 max to $10 per hour, $50 max Day 1 and $75 daily after
- International Hourly: Have increased from $3 per hour, $36 max to $10 for first hour, $15 per hour after, $70 max Day 1, $100 daily after
- South/North Daily: Have increased from $3 per hour, $19 max to $30 daily
- South/North Economy: Have increased from $3 per hour, $14 max to $20 daily
- ATL West Deck: Have increased from $3 per hour, $16 max to $10 per hour, $30 max per day
- ATL Select
- Uncovered: Have increased from $3 per hour, $10 max to $15 daily flat rate
- Covered: Have increased from $3 per hour, $14 max to $20 daily flat rate
- Oversized: Have increased from $3 per hour, $28 max to $40 daily flat rate
- Domestic Park Ride: Have increased from $3 per hour, $10 max to $15 daily flat rate
- International Park Ride: Have increased from $3 per hour, $14 max to $30 daily flat rate
Signs have been changed at the lots and decks to reflect the new pricing structure that started Thursday morning.
Airport Assistant general manager Tyronia Smith previously told Channel 2 Action News the fees are increasing to handle a need for the airport to provide more parking options, better services and a higher load of travelers passing through.
For some, they’re ready to adjust.
“Probably think of other ways get creative like carpool. I know there’s other outside offsite parking,” Rosario said.
For Frank and Martha, she will likely get picked up on the curb from now on. “I’m not paying 10,” said Frank Chester.
We compared Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s new $30 daily rate to other major airports.
In Chicago at O’Hare, that will cost $43 a day. At Dallas-Fort Worth, it is $32 a day.
