Garage parking at Hollywood Burbank Airport will cost $49 a day when the new passenger terminal opens, up from $42 now. The self-park rate takes effect October 13, 2026, on the airport's posted parking pages. Valet is listed at $59 a day.

If you're the person who leaves a car for a week and eats the cost on the way home, the cheaper math is still out in the economy lots. Economy Lot G drops $2 that day. The new posted rate there is $24 for a 24-hour period.

Seven days at that rate comes to $168. That's our multiplication, not a posted price, because the airport publishes hourly steps and a daily maximum and no weekly rate at all.

Economy Lot F stays at $28 a day, first day and additional days alike, according to the airport's long-term parking page. Lot E closes for good on October 13.

Lot C is already gone. The airport's page says it closed on August 16, 2026, for the terminal project, which leaves E, F and G carrying the long-term traffic until E goes dark too.

One thing to know before you drive over: you can't reserve a space. Pre-booking is suspended while the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority transitions to a new parking operator, so the drive-up rate is the only rate. Stays are capped at 30 days, and the posted prices include the City of Burbank parking tax.

Drivers charging at the new structure will pay $0.50 per kilowatt-hour.

The terminal itself got a dress rehearsal on September 19, 2026, when the airport ran a three-hour passenger simulation, KTLA reported. The run was held at 2627 N. Hollywood Way in Burbank. Volunteers were handed pretend flights and walked the full sequence — park, check in, reach the gate — then filled out a survey so staff could catch problems before real travelers arrive. The outlet reported participants also got airport merchandise for showing up.

On October 13, the parking structure and valet operation move to the new terminal and shut down at the current one.
