(Miami-Dade County, FL) – Miami International Airport (MIA) has opened for the summer an economy park-and-ride lot for travelers seeking long-term parking at the Airport, just in time for the more than 600,000 passengers expected this Fourth of July weekend.
The lot, which contains 600 parking spaces, is located at N.W. 45th Avenue between N.W. 13th and 15th Street, and can be accessed from LeJeune or Perimeter Road. Free shuttle service to the MIA terminal is provided every 10 minutes. The reduced rates available at the new lot are $3 for the first hour, $3 for the second hour, and $2 for the third hour and anytime thereafter, or a maximum of $8 per day. Regular long-term parking at MIA’s Dolphin or Flamingo garages costs a maximum of $12 per day.
Since parking spaces at MIA are expected to approach capacity this weekend, travelers who do not need to park at the airport are encouraged to be dropped off by car, taxi, shuttle bus or public transportation.
Travelers should arrive at the airport a half-hour to an hour earlier than usual to allow time for the anticipated traffic in and around the airport.
Meeters and greeters picking up airport passengers this weekend can also avoid traffic tie-ups around MIA by making use of the free, temporary parking spaces at the airport’s cell phone parking lot.
The cell phone lot is conveniently located on the west side of LeJeune Road, just north of the Airport entrance. Turn into the lot at N.W. 31st Street.
