A long term parking garage is available within walking distance of the Main Terminal. The rate is $2 for the first hour, and $2 for every half hour thereafter. There is a maximum daily rate of $12. The long term parking garage is accessible from Airline Drive and accommodates passengers who want to leave their vehicles on site.
Rather than circle the airport until a passenger arrives, the short term parking garage is located next to baggage claim and the main terminal, and has a low rate of $2 per hour. The airport offers more than 3,000 short term parking spaces, and there is plenty of room to accommodate oversized vehicles. New Orleans International Airport also offers a Cell Phone Lot. Located at the corner of Airline Drive and Hollandey Street, drivers are permitted to park for one hour until their passenger arrives.
Both of the long term parking and short term parking garages offer handicapped and disable parking. Handicapped parking spots are available in the first row of each parking garage. Several spaces are large enough to accommodate oversized vehicles and permit easy wheelchair access. The rate for both garages is $2 per hour, and $2 per every hour thereafter.
Airport Hotel Parking. Passengers can save money with off-site parking at airport hotels. Park-Sleep-Fly rates allow passengers to park their vehicles at discounted rates, or receive two weeks free parking with one night's stay at the airport's hotel. New Orleans International Airport shuttle provides free transportation from the airport hotel to the Main Terminal.
