Tampa International Airport

Looking for Tampa Airport parking? Welcome to BestParking.com's TPA parking information and reservation page.

Tampa International Airport (TPA) is the primary commercial airport serving the city of Tampa and the Tampa Bay Area in Florida. TPA is currently ranked as the 26th busiest airport in North America in terms of passengers served. Yearly, more than 16 million passengers pass through Tampa International.

TPA is owned and managed by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority. Tampa Airport parking is provided on-site by the airport authority in 2 terminal garages offering both short-term and long-term parking and at the Economy parking garage and lot located near the Post Office to the south of the terminal. Passengers can also have their cars valet-parked by dropping off their vehicles on the Blue Departure Drive or by going directly to Level 5 of the Short Term Garage. Finally, TPA travelers have the option to bring their vehicles to privately-run remote facilities like Avion Park Drive.


The following is a brief guide to help you find the best Tampa Airport parking options:

You can quite easily do this by simply typing in the date and time of your arrival and departure (at the facility) into the drop-down parking rate calculator near the top of this page. As soon as you've pressed the Calculate Rates button, the relevant parking costs will be shown automatically right there on the map, next to each parking garage or lot, and on the table below it.
