Long Term Parking

$18 per day keeps most Medford flyers in the on-airport Long Term lot.

This is the default at MFR: the Long Term Parking lot sits about 0.3 miles from T1, an easy 3‑minute walk on flat ground, so locals rarely bother with shuttles or off‑site coupons. Regulars on mileage forums talk about just pulling into the airport’s own long‑stay lot for most trips instead of price‑shopping every time.

Rates run $3 per hour with an $18 daily max, updated under the LAZ Parking contract as of June 30, 2025. Older pages still show $12 per day, so if you see that on a third‑party site, it’s out of date. For a three‑day trip you’re looking at $54 before taxes and fees, which stays in line with regional airports and well below big‑hub pricing.

LAZ operates the lot 24/7, so you can land on a midnight arrival or roll in for a 4 a.m. departure and still enter and exit without drama. Payment is at automated machines on the way out; plan a short stop at the gate before driving off. One online reviewer called MFR a “small, easy airport,” and parking here lines up with that description.

There are no shuttles to track and no separate garage level to remember: from Long Term, it’s just a straight walk to the single T1 terminal doors in about 3 minutes. For four‑ or five‑day trips, frequent flyers say the time saved compared with hunting off‑airport deals usually beats the modest savings you might find.

Tip: snap a quick photo of the nearest row marker when you park; the lot is compact, but on a full Monday morning those extra seconds finding your car before a late‑night drive home at Medford can matter.
