Super Park Lot D

$7 per day buys you STL’s true economy lot.

Super Park Lot D sits at the far end of the airport loop and runs at a rock‑bottom $7 daily rate, undercutting the other Super Park long‑term options. This is STL’s park‑and‑ride workhorse: big, open, and built for price, not speed. It’s still on airport property, so you’re not waiting on an off‑site contractor or calling for pickup.

The Lot D shuttle runs on roughly a 30‑minute cycle, which is the longest wait in the Super Park system. Regulars who use the T1 and T2 garages say they add about 30 extra minutes to their airport timeline when they switch to D. If you normally cut it close, this lot forces you to build in slack or risk watching boarding start while you’re still on the bus.

Parking here is credit card only at the exit gates, so have a working Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, or similar ready; no bills, no coins, no cashier. Lot D is large enough that frequent users aim for spaces near major aisle intersections or under specific light poles so they can spot the car quickly after a long day. Treat it like stadium parking: take a photo of the nearest pole number.

Because it’s the cheapest on‑airport option, Lot D is often the first to show “Lot D Closed” signs during Thanksgiving and Christmas peaks. Reviews also mention thinner overnight shuttle coverage, especially after the last banks of flights, and slower snow and ice removal than the closer Super Park garages. If your plane lands after 11 p.m. on a stormy night, assume you may stand curbside longer than you’d like.

Tip: for morning departures out of Terminal 1 or 2, plan to enter Lot D at least 60–75 minutes before boarding time: 10–15 to park and find a reference point, 30 for the shuttle cycle, and a cushion for a slow TSA line.
