Long Stay Parking

$10 per day long stay parking actually exists at SKB

Most SKB trip reports talk about taxis and hotel shuttles, not parking garages, but the airport’s Long Stay Parking lot gives you a straightforward option if you want to leave a car for days instead of hours. It’s a long stay-only setup, aimed at people flying out of Robert L. Bradshaw International for more than a quick overnight.

The lot sits about 0.5 miles from the terminal, which works out to roughly a 10-minute walk at a normal pace. Figure that into your timing on hot or rainy days; you don’t get a shuttle loop like you would at a big US hub. Build a small buffer if you’re hauling checked bags the full half mile to departures.

Pricing is simple: $10.00 per day or a flat $70.00 per week. Past seven days, it usually makes sense to think in weekly blocks instead of counting single days, since seven individual days add up to exactly the same as the posted weekly rate. Do the math before you pay so you’re not overpaying for an odd combination of daily and weekly tickets.

Reviews and forum threads from SKB regulars mostly mention immigration lines and curbside taxis, not any sprawling economy lot, so Long Stay Parking is relatively low-profile compared with places like San Juan or SXM. Expect basic surface parking rather than multi-level structures or fancy payment systems. Keep a photo of your row or a dropped pin on your phone; it’s easy to forget your exact spot after a 7-day trip.

Practical tip: in the dry season, plan that 10-minute walk at cooler times of day; in heavy rain, pad your schedule and bring a light cover for your bags so you’re not starting your flight with soaked luggage.
