So you are going on a trip for Orlando, Florida and you need to know what parking facilities they have available at Orlando Airport. In this article we will look at airport Orlando parking that is readily available for all travellers to use. You can also park at places nearby the airport as well and often can save money. Airport Intl Orlando is now very popular and Disney will always be a big hit!

Satellite Parking:

Satellite Parking costs $4 for the first 3 hours and after which the daily rate is $9 per 24 hour period then applies. You can park in the satellite parking for any length of time up to 120 days and no longer. They also provide you with a 10 minute grace period so that if you exit a satellite parking lot within 10 minutes of entering you do not pay any charges .

With the satellite parking Orlando International Airport offers customers a free shuttle service which operates every 10 minutes bewteen the satellite parking lotes and the main airport terminal. Those that are leaving Orlando will be dropped at the Departures Level (3) on both sides of the terminal (A and B) and therefore it is vital that you include an extra 30 minutes in to your travel and check in time when using the Satellite Parking. Although the satellite parking lots are uncovered they are fenced in and are routinely patrolled by members of the Airport Division of the Orlando Police Department. Still it is always good to exercise caution in a parking area.

There are three satellite parking lots at Orlando International Airport. The Blue Lot is situated on the Cargo Road about 1 mile north of the terminal building whilst the Red Lot is located on the South Approach Road about 1 mile south of the terminal building. There is also a Gold Satellite Parking lot which will be used when both the Blue and Red lots have reached their full capacity and is located 2 miles west of the Blue Lot. However an important point to remember is that vehicles over 20 feet long can not be accomodated in the satellite parking lots.

The shuttle service that is provided for satellite parking also has handicapped access available but to ensure that there is availability it is wise to many arrangements you need for handicapped access in advance. Airport Intl Orlando thinks of everyone.

Terminal Garage Parking:

This costs $1.00 for 20 minutes (or any part thereof) and goes up to a maximum of $17.00 in a 24 hour period. You can only use the terminal garage parking for a maximum of 60 days. But with this parking you have a grace period of 40 minutes and so should you exit the garage within 40 minutes of entering then no charges will be incurred .

This area offers parking for 9,300 private vehicles and most of the spaces provided are under cover and all are within easy walking distance of the main terminal . It is routinely patrolled by the Airport Division of the Orlando Police Department. Unfortunately people who's vehicles are over 7'0" in height will not be accomodated in this parking area.
