Any recommendations regarding PHL airport offsite parking? Looking for a safe (relatively) area with a shuttle. Or even better would be one where they get in our car at the lot and drive us to the terminals.

TIA!

I used to use the long term parking lot as it was cheap and easy but they shut it down during COVID but I believe it’s open now. I have used The Parking Spot many times the last few years and think they do a good job. Never have to wait too long for a shuttle

I used to use Pacifico Valet but they closed. I go with the Parking Spot as they’re always reliable

Usually use the Parking Spot. Their prices have increased but it’s safe and the shuttles run frequently. 5 minute drive to the terminals.

Any significant difference between the Parking Spot north and south lots?

I’ve only used the North lot (didn’t even realize there was a South lot).

North also has covered parking (for extra) if you’re interesting in that.

I was a long time user of The Parking Spot. They even have a Rutgers Club discount but they have become expensive. I switched to Park N Fly which has valet parking and less expensive. On a recent 9 day trip I saved over $50 compared to The Parking Spot. You just pull into their covered garage area, get out of your car, they take your luggage and put it on the shuttle and your off. When you return, your car is waiting for you. It is located at the old Parking Spot location on Essington Ave.

They finally opened up the long term (economy) parking again. Not sure when they did it, but it's open now. It was $11 a night when I last used it. I used it hundreds of times and never had a problem with it.

I agree used the Parking Spot on a weekly basis for 3 years. Reasonable prices, 24 hour frequent shuttles and a good rewards program that can also be used at Newark and NY Airports.

I've used Parking Spot North and South. Just used North this past weekend and South other times this year. South is better if you live south of the Airport (you don't have to deal with the PA State Police speedtraps on 95 at the Airport exit), but North has the covered parking. I think South used to be Colonial Parking and advertised as Parkign Spot but it looks like their finished their rebrand because I saw both North and South buses this weekend (buses are the same but there are different color labels for "North" and "South". I like them both, but miss Preflight and their covered parking (they closed last year).

As for the PHL economy parking, they did reopen some of it but I don't want to spend time looking for a space there. It also looks really weird and dystopian with grass growing in the cracks of the fenced-off, now unused part of the lot and the used part looking free of grass.
