Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE) Parking Rates

Where these numbers come from

Cleveland Hopkins has the most color-coded menu in this batch: Smart Garage, Brown, Orange, Blue, Red and valet. The airport page we read on 2026-09-30 lists $26 per day in the Smart Garage, $21 minimum in Orange, $15 in Brown, and $37 for valet. It marks Blue and Red as full at the time of the check, so assume those may not be available on your dates.

A week in the Smart Garage is 7 x $26 = $182. The Brown Lot is 7 x $15 = $105 when you pay at exit, or 7 x $13 = $91 with an online reservation. The reservation discount is $2 per day, so a week saves $14 and two weeks saves $28 (14 x $2). Choosing Brown over the Smart Garage on a 14-day trip saves 14 x ($26 - $15) = $154, or $182 if you book online.

Orange sits in the middle at $21 per day. Seven days costs 7 x $21 = $147 and fourteen costs $294. It is a surface lot with a skywalk into the garage and covered access to the terminal, so you pay $6 a day more than Brown to skip a shuttle. Over a week that convenience costs 7 x $6 = $42.

Consider a 5-night trip with a hotel stay on each end. Brown Lot online is 5 x $13 = $65, Orange is 5 x $21 = $105 and the Smart Garage is 5 x $26 = $130. The garage costs $65 more than Brown for the same five days. Because Blue and Red were full when we checked, the realistic choice for most travelers is among Brown, Orange and the garage.

Two details affect the final bill. The page does not list a weekly rate or a daily maximum for the garage, and it gives no rate effective date, so we multiply daily figures. Also, the lots accept credit cards only, and Smarte Cartes carts cost $6. The Brown Lot runs a shuttle every 15 minutes to the Ground Transportation Center, which adds roughly a quarter hour of waiting on each end.

To test a private lot against these numbers, use the airport parking on-site vs off-site calculator. For comparison with another Ohio airport, see Columbus, whose long-term garage is capped at $24 per 24 hours.
