Valet Parking

Hand the keys over at LGB and walk into Terminal 1

Valet Parking at Long Beach International Airport runs at $29 per day, making it the priciest option compared with Structure A and B self-parking. You’re paying to skip the hunt for a space and the haul from the garage. This is the closest LGB gets to curbside-style treatment: pull up, hand off the car, and head toward the single Terminal 1 instead of looping garages or surface lots.

The city’s parking info lists this as a dedicated valet product at that same $29 daily rate, so pricing is stable and clearly above on-airport self-park. There’s no public app or online reservation portal tied to it in current documentation. Figure on standard airport hours that track with the terminal’s early-morning departures and late-evening arrivals, so the car is available whenever LGB is moving flights.

One long-running FlyerTalk thread only mentions valet alongside a phone instruction: “For Valet Parking please call (562) 496-1407.” That hint matters. It suggests you may need to ring them as you approach, or at least call on arrival, instead of just following painted VALET arrows like at bigger hubs. Build in five extra minutes before your airline’s check-in cutoff while you sort the handoff.

Regulars on FlyerTalk mostly talk about saving money in Structure A and B or using hotel shuttles, and they rarely mention valet by name. That’s your tell: price-sensitive flyers skip it and keep comparing daily caps and off-airport coupons. If you value your time more than the difference between $29 and the cheaper lots, this is the premium move.

Tip: Call (562) 496-1407 when you’re 10–15 minutes from LGB to confirm drop-off instructions and cut down on curbside back-and-forth.
