Economy Lot C

$16/day on-airport parking that locals treat as the default

Economy Lot C runs $16 per day and still sits on airport property at Hollywood Burbank (BUR), so you’re not dealing with an off-site operation or long transfer. It’s officially a remote lot, but it’s right next to the terminals, serving both Terminal A and Terminal B traffic.

Shuttles between Lot C and the terminals run around every 10–15 minutes, with the ride itself taking about 10 minutes depending on traffic and stop patterns. If you’re light on bags and weather cooperates, some people just walk from Lot C since it’s adjacent to the main terminal complex, then grab the shuttle back on return if they’re tired.

Pricing is the draw: Economy Lot C is listed at $16/day, undercutting other economy options on the field and usually cheaper than the closer garages and structures. The airport’s published rate chart shows C as the lowest daily rate, which is why regular BUR flyers say they “aim for C first” on longer trips of three days or more.

Short stays still work here. The same table puts Economy Lot C at $3 for 0–30 minutes and $5 for 30–60 minutes, matching short-term’s quick-stop pricing. That makes it usable for pickups or drop-offs when you don’t want to circle the terminal roads or pay higher structure rates just to sit for 20 minutes.

Watch the signage on approach: several Google reviews complain that Lot C signs come up quickly, and if you miss them you get funneled toward E/F/G and their higher daily pricing. During holidays and Monday mornings, travelers report the lot sometimes fills and staff redirect cars to more expensive options, so check the airport parking hotline or dynamic signs before committing. One practical move: if your flight is at a peak time, have a backup plan (garage or rideshare) ready in case C is marked full when you reach the airport.
