Main Garage, Level 4

[ORD parking cost calculator](https://ordairportguide.com/parking/#stay-cost): 7 days from $112.00 at Economy Lot G. Pick your days and compare every lot.

Yes. You pay $10 per space per day on top of the normal parking charge, and the airport holds a covered space for you. It says the space is guaranteed even when the garage is full.

## Where the reserved spaces are

The airport’s [reserved parking](https://ordairportguide.com/parking/reserved-parking/) page names three places. Each one has a single reserved level.

| Where | Reserved level | Gets you to | Parking for 24 hours | With the $10 fee | Seven days |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Terminal 5 garage | Level 2 | Terminal 5, over an enclosed pedestrian bridge | $43 | $53 | $371 |
| Main Garage | Level 4 | Terminals 1, 2 and 3, beside the garage | $43 | $53 | $371 |
| Economy Lot F | Level 4 | Every terminal, on the free Airport Transit System | $30 | $40 | $280 |

The airport’s rate tables stop at 24 hours, so each seven-day figure is the daily total times seven. Lot F sits on floors 4 and 5 of the Multi-Modal Facility.

## How you book

You book on the airport’s website or a mobile device. The booking comes with point-to-point directions to your space.

## How the fee adds up

The $10 is per space and per day, so a week adds $70. The airport’s rate tables say they include all taxes. Its reserved page says the $10 does not include applicable taxes, fees or the cost of parking, and it doesn’t say what those taxes and fees come to. Treat the totals above as the minimum.

## Reserve, or drive in and look

The fee buys one thing, which is certainty that a space exists when you pull in. The airport’s parking page also points to a real-time status module, so you can look before you go.

The Main Garage costs the same as the Terminal 5 garage per day. The airport’s Main Garage page says its daily rates run higher than the economy lots and doesn’t recommend it for extended overnight stays. A reserved week there is $91 more than Lot F, and Lot F is the cheaper way to hold a space when you don’t need to be beside the terminal.

[Premier Parking](https://ordairportguide.com/parking/premier-parking/) can’t be reserved. The airport says it takes no advance booking, and its covered spaces go first come, first served.

## What the reserved page doesn’t say

Some terms that matter to a reader are missing from the page:

- How long the space is held after your booked arrival time, and what happens if you run late.
- Whether you can cancel or change a booking.
- Whether you get a numbered space or a spot somewhere on the reserved level.
- How the parking charge is collected. The general parking page says payments go to the cashier when you leave.
- Whether a reserved space sits near a charger. The airport lists chargers on Level 2 of the Terminal 5 garage (10) and on Level 4 of Lot F (24, in Rows G to J), the same levels.

The terms may sit on the booking page the airport links to, so read them before you pay. The Parking Garage Office at (773) 686-7530 is the number the airport gives for parking questions.

## Check your vehicle’s height first

Clearance differs by place. The airport gives the Main Garage 6 feet 6 inches, the Terminal 5 garage 8 feet 6 inches and Lot F 8 feet 4 inches. The airport’s accessibility page gives Lot F a height restriction of 8 feet 2 inches, so a vehicle near 8 feet should plan on the lower number. A vehicle taller than the Main Garage allows belongs in one of the other two.
