Long Term Parking

Same front lot as short-term, but $15/day and capped weekly

Long Term Parking at Fairbanks (Main Terminal) sits in the same main lot as short-term, just in the marked long-stay rows. Daily max runs $15 for 5–24 hours, and the weekly cap is $90, which is low compared with most U.S. airports. You still park next to the terminal, you just pay less if you leave the car more than a day.

The walk from the long-term section to the Main Terminal doors is about 3 minutes on foot, since this is all one front-of-terminal surface lot. No shuttle loop, no extra transfer time in winter at −20°F. For longer trips, the 90-day maximum stay makes it workable for seasonal work rotations or extended travel out of Fairbanks.

Rates are simple: $15 per 5–24 hours and then it rolls into the $90 weekly max, so days 7–14 put you at roughly $180 total. Past that, it keeps scaling week by week up to the 90‑day limit. If you’re pricing out a 10‑day or 3‑week trip, compare that total to any park‑sleep‑fly package at nearby hotels like La Quinta.

One useful detail: long-term rows include electrical plug‑ins for block heaters, which matters when you leave a car outside for weeks in sub‑zero temperatures. Regulars still use this lot for long weekends, because the difference vs short-term starts to matter after day two. For check‑in, pad your timing and plan to be parked and walking in at least 15–20 minutes before security so you’re not sprinting across the snow at the last minute.
