Long Term Parking

$8 a day gets you Long Term Parking at BGM

Daily rates run $8 with a weekly cap at $56, so Long Term Parking at Greater Binghamton (BGM) usually beats rideshare for trips longer than 3 days. This is the long-stay option on the airport grounds, aimed at people leaving the car for several nights instead of quick drop-offs.

The lot sits about 0.5 miles from the terminal building, so you’re not walking this with heavy bags in January snow. A shuttle connects the lot and terminal, and the posted ride time is about 12 minutes each way when it’s running on schedule.

This is uncovered surface parking, so your car sits in the open while you’re gone. At $56 per week, a two-week trip comes to $112, which is straightforward to compare against a $40–$60 each-way ride into Binghamton or Vestal. For most solo travelers, anything over 4–5 days starts to favor parking yourself here.

There’s one big trade: at busy times you might wait a bit for that 12‑minute shuttle cycle, then ride another 10–12 minutes to the terminal. Build 25–30 minutes into your timing from pulling into the lot to clearing the front door at BGM, on top of your airline’s check-in and security window.

Practical tip: in winter, park near a main drive lane or light pole you can spot from a distance, and snap a photo of the row sign before boarding the 12‑minute shuttle so you’re not hunting for your car in the dark when you land back at BGM.
