Baltimore, with its beautiful seaport and numerous historic sites, is bustling. And with more than 13 million visitors last year, the city’s Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) naturally stayed busy. Hosting an even more staggering 19 million travelers has made it one of the 100 busiest airports in the world.

Serving the Washington, DC and Baltimore vicinities, BWI’s 54 carriers and five main concourses offer 64 non-stop locations and 10 international non-stop locations. BWI Airport parking keeps up: high-tech options like online parking spot reservation make parking simple for its many visitors.
If you’re driving to the airport, there are many Interstate highway options. I-70, I-95, I-195, I-495, I-270 and Highway 50 all connect to the BWI Airport exit. As you approach, tune to 1040AM on your car radio for recent updates on road conditions, weather and BWI Airport parking information.

Short-term on-airport parking has a particular advantage at BWI: You may choose not to do the work. Arriving in the short-term garage (clearly marked by signage), drive to the 2nd level to experience the “Smart Park” feature that leads the driver to an available space. Premium short-term airport parking costs $4 per hour with a daily maximum of $30 per car. Prepaid “Pay N Go” machines are available for this service on the concourse.
Daily Lot A, bordering the Sheraton and MD#170 & Elm Road, is an on-airport parking option. With 8,400 spaces, this lot’s rates begin at $2 per hour, not to exceed $9 per day. A 24-hour shuttle bus service—no charge—transports travelers to or from main terminals.

There’s also a Daily Lot B at Route 170 and Aviation Boulevard. This on-airport parking option costs $2 per hour (not exceeding $9 a day) and also offers a free shuttle bus to and from the main terminals.
Long-term travelers should situate themselves across from the Air Cargo Terminal, where the ESP discount airport parking facility (geared toward travelers leaving vehicles overnight) begins at $3 per hour and caps at $13 a day.

The budget conscious traveler should consider one of many economy on-airport parking lots. These provide cover and shuttle services, costing $1 per hour and a maximum of $7 per day.
BWI’s five main terminals are certainly handicapped equipped, and the BWI Airport parking options are no different. There are many reserved handicapped spaces, as well as the handicapped-equipped, free shuttle buses.
