When you’re traveling by air, airports love nothing more than when you parked in their respective lots and garages. After all, it’s more revenue for them. However it’s also more than you necessarily could be paying, because an airport’s on-site parking options are usually more costly than third party off-site and/or long term parking.
There are lots of these long-term parking companies. Some are local establishments with just one or two locations, and others are known nationwide. Some of them include:
- FastPark & Relax (use this link to get one day of free parking as a new FastPark & Relax member. If you do, we’ll get a free day, too). This company is also known as Fast Park 2, Airport Fast Park & Park Place Airport Parking, depending on where you are.
- Book2Park
- Park Ride Fly
- WallyPark
- Park To Fly
- US Park
- Airport Park N’ Fly
- Park ‘N Fly
- The Parking Spot
Established in 1967 in St. Louis, Park ‘N Fly had grown to be established in 12 markets across the country, but with some closures had decreased to 9 (Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, Chicago, Miami, Oakland and San Francisco). They had 11 facilities along with close to 80 affiliate locations, and offered a spectrum of services ranging from valet parking and car detailing to pet boarding and online reservations.
The Parking Spot was established in 1998 and has grown to 28 locations across 22 U.S. airports, as of 2023. They finalized the purchase of Park N’ Fly on February 6th, and effective early last week, the two companies were combined as one.
“The acquisition of Park ‘N Fly is a defining moment for The Parking Spot,” said Tim O’Malley, Chief Executive Officer of TPS and Managing Director at GCP. “We see many opportunities for continued growth, and we are excited for The Parking Spot’s exceptional service to reach more customers across many new markets.”

Park N Fly will soon be out of business at MSP anyhow, as the city there has a moratorium on their use permit. It’s a waste of perfectly developable land that is serving as nothing more than a cash cow for the landowner.
Huh. Wonder what they will do in PHL as they are almost exactly across the street from one another.
