McNamara Long-Term Parking

Daily rate hits $32 in the McNamara long‑term garage

This is the McNamara Long-Term Parking deck attached directly to the McNamara terminal at DTW. It’s true long stay parking, but you’re still paying terminal-garage pricing at $32.00 per day. You’re next to the terminal, not in a remote lot, so you’re paying for proximity and cover, not a shuttle ride.

From your space it’s roughly a 3‑minute indoor walk to the McNamara check-in area for Delta and its partners. Park, grab the nearest elevator, and you come out right by the terminal skywalks instead of curbside. In bad Detroit winters, the fully covered path from car to ticket counter is the whole point of this deck.

This garage is open 24/7 and works best for 3–10 day Delta trips out of McNamara. People on FlyerTalk report doing 7–10 days regularly here with no issues besides a chunky bill at exit. Figure $224 for a 7‑day work trip at the posted $32.00 daily rate, with payment by card at the automated gates.

Regulars aim for higher levels in the deck at peak times, especially during the Monday 6–9 a.m. rush. FlyerTalk posters note that levels closer to the ground floor clog up with drivers circling and waiting on taillights, while level 5 or 6 often has open lanes and empty rows. You trade a 30–60 second longer elevator ride for parking sanity.

Watch out for tight turns and aggressive circling on the lower levels around 5–8 a.m. on Mondays and Fridays. If you see cars stacked behind a single walker to their space, skip the drama and drive straight up a few ramps. One last tip: when you go higher, park near the elevator banks that line up with the main terminal skywalks to keep your walk time under three minutes.
