Welcome to your Dulles Airport parking resource page, brought to you by BestParking.com.

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is the largest airport serving the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. It is also one of the busiest airports in the United States handling more than 23 million passengers every year (over 60,000 passengers per day). An average of 1100 flights take off or land at Dulles Airport everyday.

There are currently 24,000 Dulles Airport parking spaces available to passengers on airport property. Passengers to Dulles have the following parking options: hourly, valet, daily, and economy parking. Several topnotch parking facilities operated by private companies within 6 miles of the airport also provide parking alternatives to IAD passengers.


Here’s a short guide to help you search for the best Dulles Airport parking options:

Calculate and compare IAD parking rates. You will have to type in the date and time of your arrival and departure (at the garage) into the blinking parking rate calculator near the top of this page. As soon as you’ve clicked on the Calculate Rates button, the results will be displayed within seconds right there on the map, beside each parking lot, and on the table below it. Compare and select the cheapest option.

Pick your IAD parking lot. This is the easy part after you’ve finished the calculation in the first step. Pick the most convenient parking garage that works best for you. Simply hover the cursor over its icon on the map and all the important contact details - web site, address, telephone numbers etc. - and description will be provided.

Book your airport parking space. Once you’ve chosen a location, don’t forget to book your parking, if it’s permitted. That was easy! You now have a reserved IAD parking spot.
