CVG ValuPark

$12 per day gets you CVG’s cheapest on-airport shuttle lot

CVG ValuPark runs at $12 per day for long‑stay parking and sits about 0.5 miles from the Main Terminal. It’s airport‑owned, so you stay on property instead of rolling the dice on off‑airport operators. This is the budget play that still keeps you inside the official CVG system.

Shuttles run 24/7 with continuous pickup and drop‑off between ValuPark and the Main Terminal. CVG specifically calls out staffed service and luggage assistance, which matters if you’re wrangling two checked bags and a stroller at 5:30 a.m. The ride is short; you’re only covering roughly half a mile lot‑to‑terminal.

ValuPark is classified as long stay, so think trips of three days or more rather than a quick overnight. At $12 per day, a week runs you about $84 before taxes, which undercuts the closer garage options by a noticeable margin. You still clear security in the Main Terminal, same as the higher‑priced lots and garages.

Parking Advantage members earn 10 points per paid day when they park in ValuPark. Redemptions start at 100 points for one free day, so ten paid days essentially buy you one day back. The catch: reservations in ValuPark do not count toward Parking Advantage earnings or redemptions, per CVG’s own fine print.

What regulars do: they skip reservations in ValuPark, swipe into the lot as Parking Advantage members, and let the points stack up over multiple trips until they cash 100 points for a free day. If you fly out of CVG six to eight times a year, this routine quietly shaves a chunk off your annual parking bill.

Pro tip: enroll in CVG’s Parking Advantage program before your trip and link a card, then use ValuPark drive‑up only so every $12 day actually earns points.
