Hourly Parking Lot

Free first 15 minutes, 2‑minute walk to SFB terminals

The Hourly Parking Lot at Orlando Sanford (SFB) sits directly next to the terminal, with a walkway that takes about 2 minutes to reach check-in in Terminals A and B. It’s the closest car-to-counter option on the airport road, signed on the right as you approach the terminal area.

Rates run on a short-stay clock: the first 15 minutes are free, then it’s $2 every 20 minutes up to a daily cap of $28 per 24 hours. That pricing structure makes sense for quick pickups, drop-offs, or dashing in to help someone with bags, but it gets expensive fast if you leave the car there for more than a few hours.

This lot is strictly for same-day use; airport guidance flags no overnight parking in the Hourly Parking area. If your trip runs past midnight or you’re flying out for more than a day, plan on moving to one of the long-term options instead of trying to ride out the $28 daily rate here.

There’s no shuttle service into or out of the Hourly Parking Lot; the airport notes that shuttles do not access this area at all. Every trip is on foot, which is fine for most people since the walk is only a couple of minutes and fully landside, but it matters if you’re juggling kids, strollers, or heavy bags.

Tip: Use this lot for “I’ll meet you at the ticket counter” situations or quick terminal runs under an hour, and switch to long-term parking if you even think you might roll into a second calendar day.
