Long Stay Parking

$40 weekly cap beats the daily rate fast

At Lee C Fine Memorial Airport’s Main terminal, Long Stay Parking runs $8.00 per day or $40.00 per week, so you hit the break-even point on day six. If you’re gone more than five days, lock in the weekly rate and forget it. This is the long-term option on the field, so plan for leave-the-car-and-fly, not quick in-and-out.

The lot sits about 0.2 miles from the Main terminal entrance, and the walk runs around 10 minutes at a normal pace. There’s no mention of a shuttle in airport materials, so assume you’re on foot from your parking spot to the small terminal building. That distance is short enough for a rollaboard and backpack, but you’ll feel it if you’re dragging big checked bags.

Pricing is simple: $8.00 covers a full calendar day, and $40.00 covers a full seven-day stretch in the same Long Stay space. That works out to roughly $5.70 per day if you stay the full week on the weekly rate. No tiers, no premium rows, and no separate zones to worry about. Just pick a stall in Long Stay, lock up, and walk toward the Main terminal door.

Lee C Fine Memorial Airport is a small field serving Osage Beach, so Long Stay Parking tends to feel more like a general aviation lot than a big-city structure. With just 0.2 miles between your car and check-in, you don’t need to arrive 90 minutes early, but don’t cut it closer than 30–40 minutes before departure in case the lot is busy or you have kids or extra bags to wrangle.

Pro tip: if your trip hits four days or longer, do the math before you pull a ticket and switch to the $40 weekly rate once your stay crosses the five-day mark.
