Economy Parking

110 pesos a day gets you into GDL’s official Economy Parking

This is the airport’s own low-cost lot on the airport boulevard, about 200 meters from Terminal 1 at Guadalajara International (GDL). It runs as the official Economy Parking option, separate from the private lots along the Chapala highway that advertise similar daily rates.

Daily price is a flat $110 MXN, which matches what nearby off-airport operators are charging, so you’re choosing operator and location more than headline cost. Payment is typically at machines by the pedestrian exits; bring a card or small bills in pesos to avoid hassles at checkout.

The airport quotes a shuttle every 15 minutes between the economy lot and Terminal 1, so budget that into your timing both on departure and arrival. The ride itself is short thanks to the lot sitting roughly 200 meters down the airport boulevard, but you’re still adding a shuttle wait plus loading time on busy mornings.

Guadalajara has two terminals (T1 and T2), and this official economy shuttle targets T1, where most mainline flights operate. If you’re flying out of T2, factor in an extra few minutes to walk or transfer once the shuttle drops you at T1, especially if you’re juggling checked bags.

Regulars who like staying on airport property pick this lot over the private Chapala highway options that also run shuttles to Terminal 1 at roughly the same daily $110 MXN price. If you want everything under airport control instead of using a third-party operator, this is the one they mean.

Practical tip: Arrive at the lot a solid 45–60 minutes earlier than your usual cut-off time to cover shuttle headway (15 minutes), the short ride to T1, and any queue at the payment machines when you exit.
