CVG Economy Lot

$10 per day is as cheap as on-airport parking gets at CVG.

The CVG Economy Lot sits about 1 mile from the Main Terminal and is the airport’s posted lowest-cost on-airport option at $10 per day. It’s a remote surface lot, so factor in a short shuttle ride instead of walking to the terminal. For week-long trips, the math is simple: seven days runs you about $70 before taxes and fees, and you stay on airport property the entire time.

Shuttles run every 15 minutes around the clock, and CVG says they provide 24/7 pickup and drop-off at marked shelters in the Economy Lot. Plan on roughly a 15-minute ride between the lot and the Main Terminal, so add at least 30 minutes round-trip into your timing buffer. If you land after midnight, this is still viable since the cadence is posted as all-day, every day.

CVG’s Parking Advantage program ties directly into the Economy Lot at the same $10 daily rate. Members earn 10 points per paid day here, and 100 points cover one free day of parking when redeemed. If you park at CVG more than a few times a year, registering once and letting the points build can take the sting out of longer trips like a 10-day vacation.

There’s no valet, no covered parking, and no direct pedestrian route from this lot to the Main Terminal, just the shuttle loop and open-air spaces. Because the shuttle is scheduled for every 15 minutes, treat that as a hard constraint: arrive at the Economy Lot at least 45–60 minutes before you want to be at Main security. One last tip: snap a photo of your row marker by the shelter so the 15-minute return ride doesn’t end with you wandering the lot looking for your car.
