Parking Structure 3

$60 a day buys you terminal-side parking at T3

Daily rate runs $60 in Parking Structure 3, and you’re right in the Central Terminal Area next to Terminal 3 and close to Terminal 2. This is true terminal parking, not an Economy or remote lot, so you walk to check-in and skip shuttles entirely.

Rates match the other CTA structures: drive-up max is $60 per 24 hours, with the usual LAX hourly increments on the way up to that cap. Official LAX guidance groups Structure 3 with the other central garages under the same pricing, so there’s no deal hiding here if you just roll up unbooked.

Structure 3 sits on the north side of the loop by Terminals 2 and 3, which puts Delta and several international partners within a few minutes’ walk. You can also walk over to Terminal 1 or 4, but figure an extra 10–15 minutes curb to curb if you’re crossing half the horseshoe with bags.

Regulars on FlyerTalk talk about prebooking CTA parking online to knock the daily cost down below the $60 drive-up rate. If you know your dates, lock it in ahead of time; the discount often makes terminal parking feel less painful compared with off-airport garages once you factor in shuttle time and tips.

No Structure-3-specific horror stories surfaced in recent threads, just the usual LAX complaints about congestion in the horseshoe and tight maneuvering in some levels. Give yourself an extra 15–20 minutes at peak times to snake into the loop and find a space, especially around evening bank departures.

Tip: If you’re parking in Structure 3 for a Terminal 2 or 3 flight, take a quick photo of the level and column number on your phone before you walk to check-in so you’re not hunting across multiple decks when you land back at LAX.
