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 three of the best off-site options for cheap parking near Chicago O’Hare, which you’ll find below.

Crowne Plaza O’Hare

At just a mile away, this is the closest parking facility to the airport on our list. For rates starting at $14.50, customers can enjoy uncovered self parking, with bookings available for a minimum of three days. The parking lot is open 24/7 and has on-site staff available for any questions or help needed, whether it’s luggage assistance or anything else. There’s also a complimentary shuttle service that runs every 60 minutes every day of the week during the hours of 5am to 9pm. If the open lot is full, drivers can also request garage passes.

O’Hare Blue Sky Parking

If you’re happy to pay a bit extra for the convenience of valet parking, then this facility could fit the bill. Positioned 1.6 miles from the airport, you can make use of uncovered valet-assisted parking for prices of $22.75 and above. A free shuttle service runs to the airport every 5–7 minutes, with a journey time of around five minutes depending on traffic. The parking lot is open 24/7 and has on-site staff at all times.

Sheraton Suites

The last recommendation on our list is this parking lot on the grounds of the Sheraton Hotel, located 1.4 miles away from the airport. Here, drivers can make use of uncovered self parking for rates starting at $17 per day. The facility is open 24/7 and there’s a free shuttle service that runs from 4am to midnight every day of the week. On-site staff are on hand to help customers with anything they need.
