Lot B

$13 per day gets you Lot B long‑stay parking at STL

Lot B sits just east of Terminal 1, next to Lot A, and targets week‑long trips where you want official airport parking without paying daily garage prices. The walk to Terminal 1 is about 5 minutes if you skip the shuttle, which fits light packers with rolling bags. If you’re flying out of Terminal 1 on a Monday morning, build extra time; regulars mention Super Park shuttles and pay lanes bogging down during the early start‑of‑week rush.

The published rate is $13 per day, with a weekly max of $91, so the math favors stays of 5–10 days over the shorter overnight trips that do better in Lot A or the garages. Parking guides note Lot B has historically run cheaper on weekends than weekdays, so a Friday–Sunday trip can undercut some off‑airport lots once you factor in their shuttle or service fees. If you’re parking nine days or more, compare off‑site quotes; the weekly cap stops helping after day eight.

Lot B sits beyond Lot A on the east side of Terminal 1, so shuttle rides are a touch longer than from A but shorter than from Lots C or D by several minutes. The lot is open‑air with no covered parking, and reviewers mention limited shelter at shuttle stops during heavy rain or snow. In bad weather, shuttles still run, but you’ll be standing in it, so pack a hood or small umbrella in your carry‑on instead of leaving it in the trunk.

Regular STL flyers say they take a quick photo of the nearest row or pole sign in Lot B before heading to the terminal, especially for 7‑ to 10‑day trips when it’s easy to forget a section after a red‑eye return. Some long‑term users mention wandering for 10–15 minutes at night trying to relocate their car because section markers are sparse in parts of the lot. One simple habit: text yourself the row number and a landmark (like “Row 12 by light pole B3”) before you lock up.

Practical move: if your return lands early Monday between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., pad your schedule by 15–20 minutes for Lot B shuttle pickup plus the Super Park exit queues, especially if you’re trying to make a downtown meeting by 9:30.
