What the airport’s own lots are like
- The overflow lot is closed. It used to run $4.95 a day, so if you remember it as the cheap option, it is no longer available.
- Only part of the garage is covered. The 2nd floor is covered; the 3rd floor is open to the weather at the same $23.00 a day.
- Short Term Park & Walk is about a 3-minute walk to the terminal — the closest option, and the priciest per day after the garage.
- The airport’s DAYrider shuttle stops running. It operates 4:30 a.m. to midnight, or until the last arriving flight. The Park-N-Go shuttle runs from 4am until the last flight lands, which matters on an early departure or a delayed return.

Dayton International Airport Long-Term Parking with Park-N-Go
Park-N-Go sits directly across the street from Dayton International Airport. Reserve online and the gate opens automatically — park, and the shuttle comes to your car, loads your bags and has you at the ticketing door in about four minutes. Coming home, we meet you across from baggage claim and drive you back to your car.
Economy self-park is our best value. Full-Service Valet adds winter warm-up and snow removal, and you can add detailing or an oil change or an EV charge while you travel.
Why Choose Park-N-Go Long-Term Airport Parking Services?
Every trip earns rewards points toward free parking, and we offer great discounts for AAA members (15%), active military, veterans, contractors and first responders (30% off economy, 33% off valet), and corporate travelers.
Inside the airport fence, DAY charges $23/day for the garage, $16 short-term, $14 for the Blue long-term lot and $9 for economy — each with a longer walk, often through rain or snow, and no one to help with your bags. The full side-by-side is in the table above.
Our customers tell us Park-N-Go is faster, safer and easier than parking at the airport. Try us once and you’ll be a customer for life.
Free Dayton Airport Shuttle — Door-to-Door in About 4 Minutes
Our complimentary shuttle is what makes Park-N-Go faster than parking at the airport itself. It’s included free with every stay — no reservation needed for the shuttle.
How the Shuttle Works
- Economy self-park: pull in, park, and the shuttle comes right to your car — no waiting at a bus stop.
- Full-service valet: hand us your keys at our front door and step straight onto the shuttle.
- We load and carry your luggage for you, both directions.
- The ride to the terminal is about 4 minutes, door-to-door.
- On your return, we pick up across from baggage claim and take you right back to your car.
Shuttle Hours & On-Demand Service
- On-demand, not on a loop. Our shuttle comes when you arrive — we don’t circulate empty and waste gas, so you’re not waiting on a fixed schedule.
- First shuttle: 4:00 a.m. on weekdays and 3:40 a.m. on weekends, timed to Dayton’s earliest departures.
- Because it runs on demand, there’s a shuttle ready whenever your flight lands, day or night.
Shuttle vs. the Airport’s Own Lots
At the airport’s Economy lot you park, drag your own bags to a stop, and wait for a bus. At Park-N-Go the shuttle comes to your trunk and we carry the bags — the same idea, a much better experience.
Our customers love Park-N-Go. Here’s what they have to say
Which Dayton Airport Parking Option Fits Your Trip
Dayton International Airport is compact, so every option is within a few minutes of the terminal. The decision really comes down to three things: the length of your trip, the weather, and how far you want to walk with luggage.
Trips of a week or more
This is where the gap between options gets wide. Seven days in the airport’s long-term lot is $98.99, including the $0.99 exit fee. The same week in Park-N-Go economy is $69.93, and the shuttle picks you up at your car rather than at a bus stop. The airport’s economy lot is the cheapest published rate at $63.99 for the week, so if raw price is the only thing that matters, that is the number to beat. Park-N-Go is $1.40 a day more than that lot once our 14% tax and service fee is counted, and the difference buys you door-to-door pickup, luggage help, and a lot that sits across the street rather than at the far end of airport property. AAA members pay $8.50 a day with us, which brings a week to $59.50 and undercuts the airport outright.
Winter trips
From December through March the calculation changes, because a car left in an open lot for a week comes back buried. Park-N-Go full-service valet is $12.99 a day with a reservation and includes warming the car up and clearing snow off it before you get back. That is $90.93 for a week, less than the airport’s long-term lot, and you hand over your keys at a covered front door instead of scraping ice in the dark.
Short trips and airport pickups
If you are collecting someone and expect to be there under an hour, the airport’s short-term lot at $16.00 a day is the right choice simply because it is closest to the door. If you will be there longer than that, the numbers move quickly — we set them out on our Dayton airport short-term parking page. It is priced to discourage leaving a car there: two days runs $32.99, against $28.99 in the airport’s long-term lot and $19.98 at Park-N-Go.
Accessible parking
Designated accessible spaces are available in every airport lot, close to the terminal entrances and clearly marked, and a valid disability placard or plate is required. Park-N-Go has accessible spaces near the shuttle pickup area, and because our shuttle comes to your vehicle, you do not need to cross the lot on foot at all.
Getting the lowest rate
Reserving in advance is the single biggest lever. A Park-N-Go valet reservation is $12.99 instead of the $14.99 walk-in rate, and reserving economy means the gate opens automatically when you arrive. Airport lots work the other way around: reserving a space online there adds a $2.99 fee instead of the $0.99 exit fee. AAA membership, military ID, and our rewards program stack on top of the reserved rate.
Comparing against the very cheap rates advertised by online booking sites? Most of those are resellers rather than parking lots, and one facility several of them still sell no longer exists. We documented what each one actually lists in what those $3.99 Dayton airport parking listings actually are.
