South Park Place

$14 per day gets you on-airport parking with 5-minute shuttles

South Park Place is MCO’s on-airport economy lot at the south side of the field, charging $5 for 11 minutes to 3 hours and then a flat $14 per 24 hours with a 10-minute grace period. It’s uncovered, basic parking, but you’re on airport property and not dealing with off-site vans or extra fees on a week-long trip.

The shuttle run is about 5 minutes to the terminals when traffic is light, with buses looping 24/7. Shuttles drop at Terminal B Departures Level 3 and pick up at Ground Transportation Level 1, space B17. For Terminal C, both drop-off and pickup use Ground Transportation Level 1, space C286, so you’re not guessing between multiple stops.

Pricing is straightforward: $5 up to 3 hours, then it flips to the daily $14 rate, capped at a 90-day maximum stay. If you’re leaving a car for 7–10 days, that math usually beats the terminal garages at Orlando International Airport, especially for budget-focused trips.

The lot is fenced and uncovered, patrolled by the Orlando Police Department – Airport Division, and several long-trip reviewers mention leaving cars for a full week without issues. One late-night flyer said they caught the shuttle around 2:30 a.m. without a long wait and called it a good deal for longer vacations.

Watch out for evening crowds: some reviews mention 20–25 minute waits for return shuttles when multiple flights hit Terminals B and C at once. A few people at Terminal C also complain about walking around Ground Transportation before finally spotting the C286 sign, especially on first use.

What regulars do: add 30 extra minutes during holidays or peak times and use SunPass Plus or E-PASS at exit for faster payment instead of lining up at the cash and card booths.

Pro tip: when you park, drop a pin in your maps app with your row, then snap a photo of the nearest shuttle pole so the 5-minute ride back from Terminal B or C doesn’t turn into a 15-minute car hunt.
