SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Travelers flying out of Salt Lake City International Airport should expect to pay more for parking this summer.

Daily garage parking is set to rise from $40 to $45, and long-term economy parking will increase from $12 to $14, according to figures presented during a Salt Lake City Council budget briefing.

The airport’s current parking page lists daily garage parking at $40 and long-term economy parking at $12. Lot E is listed at $25 per day, and premium reserved parking is at $60 per day.

The increase comes as Salt Lake City reviews its fiscal year 2027 budget, which begins July 1. The Department of Airports presented to the Salt Lake City Council on April 21 as part of the city’s budget process.

Airport officials told the council that parking areas have been filling more often, according to KSL. Shaun Anderson, the airport’s acting chief financial officer, said the garage is closing midweek almost every week due to business travel demand.

The new rates are projected to generate a 7% increase in parking revenue, bringing the total to $77.3 million, KSL reported.

For travelers, a five-day trip would cost $225 in the garage, up from $200. The same five-day stay in the economy lot would cost $70, up from $60.

Salt Lake City International offers free shuttle service between the economy lot and the terminal, with shuttles running every eight to 10 minutes, according to the airport. TRAX and other transit options remain available for travelers looking to avoid parking costs.
