Miami International Airport (MIA) Parking Rates

Where these numbers come from

Miami keeps parking simple. The Dolphin, Flamingo and Ibis garages charge $2 for each 20-minute increment with a $25 daily maximum. Twelve increments take you to $24, so the cap applies shortly after the four-hour mark. Stays can run up to 45 days. A seven-day trip at the cap costs 7 x $25 = $175, and a 14-day trip costs $350.

Valet is available on the departures level of the Dolphin and Flamingo garages. The first day costs $25 for the first three hours, $39 for 3 to 24 hours, and the daily maximum is $39. Valet has a 20-day maximum stay. A week costs 7 x $39 = $273, which is $98 more than the garage cap. Two weeks costs $546 against $350, a difference of $196.

The Park and Ride lot at 1350 NW 45 Avenue is the economy choice. It charges $2 per 20 minutes or part thereof, capped at $12 a day plus a $0.35 convenience fee. A week is 7 x $12 = $84 before the fee, and two weeks is $168. That is $91 less than the garage for a week. The lot has 350 spaces and a 24-hour shuttle, so with only that many spaces it is worth checking before a peak holiday.

Prepayment is available in the Dolphin or Flamingo garages up to one year in advance. You pay a $2.99 fee that is not refundable, and you can modify or cancel up to 24 hours ahead. The confirmation email carries a QR code for entry and exit, and you should not pull a ticket at the gate or extra fees may apply. Staying beyond your reservation triggers additional charges. The page did not publish a discounted prepay rate.

Extra services exist too. The Ibis garage has 50 ChargePoint ports on levels 1 to 5 at $0.38 per kWh, which the airport converts to about $0.11 a mile. A free cell phone waiting lot with 60 spaces sits off LeJeune Road and NW 31 Street. Motorcycles pay $12 a day on the first floor of the three garages.

For a rideshare break-even, take an example $50 round trip. Two days of garage parking at the $25 cap also equal $50, so the ride is cheaper for a one-day trip, the two tie at two days, and parking costs more beyond that. Park and Ride at $12 a day stays cheaper than that $50 fare through day four. Use your own fare in the airport parking on-site vs off-site calculator.
