I'm planning to fly from ATL to PHX and want to leave my vehicle in an onsite parking lot so I can walk from the car to the terminal. It will be there from Friday evening to the following Friday evening. In a forum post someone said they always park in the North daily parking area. I don't care about it being covered and just want the cheapest place with the best chance of finding a parking spot. I'll be parking it on a Friday evening probably around 8:30 pm. In a satellite view of the area the West economy parking had the most open parking spots. Can anyone share their opinions about which parking area would be cheapest and most likely to have open spots? North, West, South all would be fine. I'm flying Delta but don't care about walking a few exta yards if the Delta area is on the other side of the building from where I park. Also can anyone explain the difference between the daily parking and the economy parking?

Thank you for any help!
David

There are no special tricks.

Everything you need to find out for on-site parking is here: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport | Official Website

It has prices, maps, and current status.

Most spaces in walking distance are pricey. What is cheaper are lots with small shuttle buses that pick you up and drop you off at the curb of the terminal, which isn't that inconvenient given how long the walk can become.

I usually park off-site. There are a number of private lots off Camp Creek Parkway west of I-85 across from the airport. Almost all are cheaper than the airport for open air parking. The shuttles usually pick you up at your car within a few minutes of parking and they take you right to the terminal curb. On the return they will take you from the ground transportation area directly to your car.

theparkingspot.com is my typical lot. The first one or two large ones you see near the airport tend to be pricier. There are several others that are worth using. (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport | Official Website Google their websites)

Most lots are usually cheaper with coupons printed from their website advanced. Expect to pay between $6.50 to $13/day depending on whether it is covered vs. uncovered, length of stay, weekend state, and various terms of coupons.

I usually pay $6.50 to $8/day at the parking spot with coupon for uncovered parking. You should give yourself an extra 15 minutes in your travel plans for parking and getting to the terminal.

I also park off-site 100% of the time and use the shuttles. Even for 2am returns it's simply not an issue, plus the costs are Drastically lower.

I'm partial to Preflight Parking after some bad experiences with Parking Spot, but they all work the same way and any of them would be fine.
