Long-Term Parking Lot

Daily max around $5 makes this FAR’s default long‑term option

The Long-Term Parking Lot at Hector International Airport (FAR) sits on-site, about a 3‑minute walk from Terminal 1, and usually prices around $5 per day. This is the lot most Fargo flyers use for week‑long trips because it trades slightly longer walks for the lowest posted on‑airport rate.

Parking here is uncovered, standard surface parking, but the 3‑minute walk to the terminal doors keeps it more practical than most off‑airport shuttles that run every 10–15 minutes. Being on airport property means you avoid waiting for vans in winter at −10°F, and you roll your own bags straight to the FAR ticket counters.

Most ParkSleepFly and AirportParkingReservations listings for “FAR Long Term Parking” quietly reference this general on‑airport product, sometimes offering advance‑purchase daily rates under the drive‑up ~$5 number. The catch is that those third‑party listings can add service fees at checkout that eat into the headline savings.

Several users point out that some “Fargo International Airport Long Term Lot” listings on park‑sleep‑fly style sites show only 1–2 reviews and almost no photos. That thin detail makes a few travelers nervous about leaving a car for 7+ days, especially when a direct drive‑up option is sitting signed in front of the terminal.

Regulars usually price‑check ParkSleepFly and AirportParkingReservations a few days before flying, then compare the fully loaded pre‑pay total against the posted ~$5 daily airport rate. If the pre‑paid option doesn’t beat the drive‑up cost by at least a couple of dollars a day, they skip the third‑party booking and just swipe a card at the FAR lot gate.

Tip: Screenshot the airport’s own parking page with the current long‑term rate before you leave home, so you can sanity‑check any “discount” numbers you see on aggregators for FAR Long-Term Parking.
