Lot E Parking

$25 per day keeps you on-airport without paying garage rates

Lot E at Salt Lake City International runs $5 per hour, capped at $25 per 24 hours, so it sits between the $40 daily garage and the $12 Long-Term Economy lot. It’s a surface lot, marked as long stay, aimed at people who want on-airport parking without the top-tier garage price. Think of it as the “in-between” option on the SLC rate chart.

This lot sits just across the street from the Terminal, with about a 5‑minute walk to ticketing and security if you’re moving at a normal pace. That’s a different setup from the big Long-Term Economy lot, which relies on shuttles out in the farther zones. You’re paying extra here for proximity and the ability to skip the bus when you land late or arrive tight on time.

Official airport info lists Lot E separately from the main economy area, which hints that shuttle routes and pickup points may not always match the big Long-Term Economy operation. At $25 daily, some regulars argue it’s close enough to the $40 covered garage that in winter they’d rather jump to the garage for protection from snow and ice. In shoulder seasons, the $15 daily savings over the garage feels easier to justify.

What frequent SLC travelers usually do: they either commit to the garage at $40 for maximum convenience, or they drop all the way to the $12 Long-Term Economy or off-site lots to minimize cost, skipping Lot E entirely unless the main economy lot is expected to be slammed on holiday peaks. One practical tip: check airport parking availability before you leave home; if Long-Term Economy is showing close to full, Lot E at $25 becomes the hedge that still keeps you on-foot to the Terminal.
