Situated about 17 miles northwest of Chicago’s Loop business district, Chicago O’Hare Airport is the main international airport servicing the city of Chicago. To use official airport parking facilities, you’ll need to pay up to $22 per day, with long term parking anything up to $154 per week. However, parking at an off-airport facility may well save you between 40 and 60%. We’ve picked out 3 of the best off-site options for cheap parking near Chicago O’Hare, which you’ll find below.
