Long-term Parking

$11 per day gets you on-airport long-term at RSW

RSW’s Long-term Parking is the default lot for most flyers who don’t want off-airport hassle. It’s a surface lot about 0.5 miles beyond the main terminal garage, with a posted daily max of $11 and a $60 rate for the first week before the normal daily charge kicks back in.

Shuttles run between the long-term lot and the Main terminal, with reviewers reporting rides of around 5–10 minutes once you’re on board. Official guidance suggests planning on 10–15 minutes for the shuttle cycle so your timing doesn’t get tight. Drivers usually help with bags, which matters if you’re rolling more than one checked suitcase.

ParkingAccess data shows the official long-term lot sitting at roughly 4.5 stars across 9,798 verified reviews, which is unusually high for an on-airport economy-style lot. Guides say RSW has over 11,000 on-site spaces across short- and long-term, and most of that capacity lives out here in this surface lot.

Pricing is simple: $2 per hour, capped at $11 per day, then $60 for the first week according to UpgradedPoints before the daily cap applies again. Some reviewers mention the weekly pricing wasn’t obvious on older signs, so double-check the current rates posted at the entrance and keep a quick photo for reference at checkout.

Biggest pain points: shuttle wait times during peak winter crowds and hunting for an open space when the lot is near full. Snowbird season runs roughly October through April, and ParkingAccess notes that peak Saturdays in that window are when this lot can fill or get close.

Regulars usually head straight to the official long-term lot and only bother with private options if a prepaid deal undercuts the $11 daily. One practical habit: keep your paper ticket handy on the shuttle ride in, since drivers sometimes use your row number to drop you closer to your car on the way back.
