Monty Moose Parking Lot

$12 overflow pricing is the whole point of Monty Moose

When BGR’s main long‑term lot starts to fill, the Monty Moose Parking Lot opens as overflow so drivers can still pay the same $12.00 per day instead of scrambling for off‑airport options that often cost more. It’s signed as long‑stay parking and treated like an extension of the regular long‑term lot, just with extra steps from the terminal.

The lot sits about 0.3 miles from the terminal, so you’re looking at roughly an 8‑minute walk to Domestic or International check‑in if you’re rolling a standard carry‑on. That distance is fine for most people in decent weather, but it’s not nothing in winter or with kids in tow, especially if you’re juggling skis or hunting gear.

BGR only opens Monty Moose during peak parking periods, specifically when the main long‑term lot is nearing capacity; outside those windows the gates can be closed and signage will push you to other on‑airport options. Regulars watch the roadside and electronic signs on the approach road, which tell you in real time if Monty Moose is open and which turn lane to use.

If the walk feels like too much, the airport runs a demand‑response shuttle that serves all parking areas, including Monty Moose; instead of waiting at a random stop, you call the posted local number from the lot for pickup and ride straight to the terminal doors. Figure a few minutes’ wait time on busy mornings, so build that into your plan.

Tip: on holiday weekends and school breaks, check the signs for Monty Moose as soon as you pass the main entrance to avoid last‑second lane changes near the long‑term lot.
