O'Hare (ORD) Parking Guide: On-Airport vs. Off-Airport

Main Garage, Terminal 5 Garage, Economy Lots F, G and H, Premier and Reserved Parking, private lots with shuttles, and tips for parking at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

On-airport vs. off-airport at O'Hare

Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is run by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), which operates the Main Garage next to the domestic terminals (1, 2 and 3), the Terminal 5 Garage and Lot D, and the Economy Lots linked to every terminal by the free Airport Transit System (ATS). Private companies also run lots nearby, mostly in Schiller Park, Rosemont and Des Plaines, with shuttles to the terminals. This hub sums up both and links to our deeper guides.

Heads-up: flychicago.com says all hotel and off-airport parking shuttles now pick up at the Terminal 2 Arrivals curbside (some still use Terminal 5). Check flychicago.com before you go.
