Central Parking

Daily rate runs $42, but you walk to every BOS terminal

Central Parking is the on-airport middle ground at Logan: a multi-level garage with covered walkways and moving sidewalks that link into Terminals A, B, C, and E in about a 3–8 minute walk, depending on your section. Daily max is $42, so it hits the sweet spot for people who refuse shuttles but don’t need to be parked directly under one specific terminal.

This is the same underlying structure as the Central Parking Garage, and it handles both short‑term and long‑term stays. You enter from the main airport loop road and follow color‑coded zones instead of terminal‑specific names. That color system is the key: regulars learn which colors and levels match their usual terminal so they’re not dragging bags for an extra 10+ minutes after landing.

Central connects to all four terminals via enclosed bridges and moving walkways, so you can park once and reach A, B, C, or E on foot without stepping outside for long. Many frequent flyers use it as their default spot, then walk between terminals instead of waiting for the inter-terminal buses, especially in Boston winter weather or heavy rain.

Complaints focus on two things: price and stress. At $42 per day, anything longer than a 4–5 day trip often pencils out cheaper in Economy or off‑airport lots. On peak holidays, drivers report “garage full” signs and ramp backups around the terminal roads before they can divert, which can easily add 20+ minutes of buffer.

Pro tip: before your first trip, look up which Central color/level lines up closest with your airline’s terminal at BOS and write it on your parking ticket so you aim straight for that section next time.
