Ontario Airport Parking (San Diego, Long Beach: extended stay, prices, safety)

[ZenMaster2008]

I usually take a shuttle to Ontario Airport but I’m thinking of driving and parking this time because it will cost me nearly $100 for a roundtrip shuttle. Can anyone recommend some parking options for Ontario Airport? I will have my car parked for 6 days. I found a few offsite places for $9.50/day and $7.00/day. I just want some personal opinions on which is the best in terms of safety/reliability/value etc…

I've used long term parking at Ontario, Long Beach, John Wayne, and San Diego and never had a problem at any of them. Ontario even has a valet service that will drive your vehicle to you if you call them as you're coming off the plane. I did this once (when my employer was paying for the travel expenses!) and it was nice to have the car waiting after a long trip. I'd say for the money saved, it's worth any small potential risk. Let us know how it goes!

We do the long term parking at the airport as well. Your car is safer there as opposed to parking off-site. The last thing you want to find when you get off the plane and schlep all your stuff to your car is a car that's been broken into.

We have always used Park 'n Fly across from the airport and have never had any trouble. They shuttle you to your airline and will also pick you up when your plane comes in...I think they are a bit cheaper than the regular airport parking also. We've used both Ontario and San Diego Park 'n Fly and liked them both.

long term parking at ontario airport... I've used it many times... You park in the parking lot and a shuttles will take you to the airport... The shuttles come like every 3-5 minutes.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I did some more research and found that the long-term parking at Ontario is probably the best. The only thing that confused me though is that there's like 5 lots and have different prices based on the location (front of gates are more). They say only 2 lots are for "long term parking". The one's in front of the gates are called "short term parking" but have daily rates for extended stays so I guess they can both be long term if you want to pay more?

yes the lots in front of the gates are a bit more... the long term ones are to the west of the gates..... thats where i would go if i was staying 6 days ..... The shuttles come every 5 minutes or so..... Its easy.. no stress... just do it!
