Lot B

$20 per day gets you Lot B’s on-airport parking with EV chargers

Lot B sits on the airport grounds at Long Beach (terminal 1) with a posted daily maximum of $20, a few dollars less than Structure A’s rate. It’s an uncovered surface-style structure run by the city, signed as “Structure B” as you follow airport parking signs toward the terminal loop.

The city’s parking info calls Structure B the backup when Structure A fills, so late arrivals are often waved over here once the main garage hits capacity. Flyers on JetBlue and other LGB airlines mention simply driving up and picking A or B based on which still shows “OPEN” on the roadside signs, since the airport doesn’t offer advance reservations at either lot.

On the first level of Structure B, the airport lists 12 ChargePoint EV stations, all first‑come, first‑served. Drivers on longer trips use this as the tiebreaker between A and B: if you need to leave an electric car for three or four days, B’s chargers plus the lower $20 daily rate often beat paying more to sit in A’s covered spaces.

Post‑security, LGB is compact enough that parking location matters less than at LAX; you’re still walking to the same terminal 1 doors from either A or B. A TripAdvisor reviewer reported pulling in on the day of travel, finding multiple open spots in the overflow structures, and walking into the terminal in under 10 minutes.

Tip: Roll into the airport loop, check the electronic signs for Structure A’s status, then head straight to Lot B if A shows “FULL” or if you want the cheaper $20/day rate and a shot at those 12 EV chargers.
