Which lot is better? Taking an extended vacation and don't care to pay the MSY Airport lot fees for that long a period. Seems that both charge around a 26% tax and fee rate on top of the parking fee.

If you work for the state in really any capacity then USPark gives you a massive discount. I left the car there for over a week and paid like $32 over the summer.

I'm assuming a taxi is undoubtedly more expensive still? After about 5 days or so (screw math) the taxi wins for me and my SO, but I don't have a family where they can charge for every single person.

Nope that wouldn't apply. I have a Tundra that I would park I read online that the parking spots were small at USPark is that true?

If I wasn't always somehow, someway, getting to the airport at the last fricking second I'd use this option.

On Black Friday Im guessing that might be filled up when I show up. USPark has a coupon for 4 per day for 5 days reg 8.95 after that. I will park for 9 days. ParkNFly works out to about 90 after fees and taxes. So seems like USPark will be cheapest but don't have an estimate on taxes and fees. Im guessing same as PNF.

How much are the taxes/fees for USPark. $8.95 a day is the base amount, but what would be added to that?

I don't think you can use the US Park $4/day coupon during the holiday, but I could be wrong.

credit card lot will be $90 (no taxes or fees) (cheaper if the 9th day doesnt hit the 24 hr window). you wont need to pay anyone or ride a bus, just use your credit card and you are set

USPark has a 4$/day for 5 days deal if your a first time customer. Just go to their site and fill out a form and print the coupon.

I used to park at the radisson for free and take the hotel shuttle like I was a guest. After a few stays there I realized they never gave car tags for parking and never made you show guest receipt to use the shuttle. That was about 6-7 years ago though.

I'm in the garage parking and running, but I'll try not to do that next month for Christmas, but I imagine the lots are going to be super full. We'll see. I'd like this option considering I'll be gone about 10 days.

I have used US Park quite a few times and have been very satisfied.

I've parked at both many times. I usually use US Park, but they're pretty much the same. They usually give away coupons on their website all the time.

Hmm. Could be a problem. US Park doesn't take reservations. Park n Fly does. Park n Fly also has a AAA discount.

We have used both and prefer Park n Fly. Nicer lot and friendlier service. Spots are also a little bigger.

The offer a corporate discount also.

Always make a reservation regardless to when we fly.
