Valet Parking

$30 per day buys you curbside drop-off at JAX

Valet Parking at Jacksonville International Airport runs $30 per 24-hour period, making it the priciest on-airport option by a clear margin. It’s the play for Main Terminal flyers who care more about walking zero steps with luggage than saving a few dollars versus the Hourly Garage. If your company is expensing the trip, or you’re hauling golf clubs and checked bags, this is the top-shelf choice on the airport side of I-95.

Drop-off happens right at the departure-level curb at the Main Terminal, following posted Valet signs so you never touch the parking plaza or pull a ticket. SP+ Valet staff take the keys and park the car in their secured area while you head straight toward check-in inside the terminal. On return, they bring your car down to the arrivals level curb, so you roll bags from baggage claim directly into the car in under a minute.

Rates are simple: $30 per 24-hour period, with no mention of long-term discounts, so running a full workweek here adds up fast versus Economy or the garages. Disabled veterans should note that DV-plate free parking at JAX only applies to the garages and Economy lots; the airport explicitly excludes Valet from the DV waiver, and DV plates are charged the posted $30 valet rate.

Regulars who usually rely on the DV benefit skip Valet and stick to the garages or Economy, since that keeps multi-day trips at zero out-of-pocket. Others treat Valet as an occasional upgrade for 6:00 a.m. departures or late-night returns when every minute counts. Practical tip: set a reminder with your return flight number and arrival time when you land; calling ahead gives the valet a few extra minutes to stage your car at the arrivals curb so you’re not waiting outside in Florida humidity.
