Each option provides convenience and flexibility according to your length of stay and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Lot<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Hourly Parking Rate<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Daily Maximum Rate<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Parking Garage<\/td><td>$2.00 per 30 minutes<\/td><td>$19.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Daily Lot<\/td><td>$2.00 per 30 minutes<\/td><td>$13.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>East Economy Parking Lot<\/td><td>$2.00 per 30 minutes<\/td><td>$11.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>West Economy Parking Lot<\/td><td>$2.00 per 30 minutes<\/td><td>$11.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If staying on budget is one of your top priorities, the economy parking lots will be your best option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the East and West lots charge by the half hour and offer a <strong>daily rate of $11<\/strong>. They offer more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/affordable-parking\/\">affordable parking<\/a> than the <strong>parking garage ($19.00) and daily lot ($13.00)<\/strong> because they&rsquo;re farthest away from the terminals. However, if you don&rsquo;t want to make the trek to your terminal, there&rsquo;s a free shuttle service that arrives <strong>every 25 to 30 minutes<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to be a little closer, the daily lot is slightly more expensive but offers more frequent shuttle services every <strong>15 to 20 minutes<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the parking garage is the most expensive option for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/10-long-term-car-storage-tips\/\">long-term vehicle storage<\/a>, it provides the added benefit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/covered-storage-vs-uncovered-storage\/\"><em>covered parking<\/em><\/a>, which will protect your vehicle from the elements. It&rsquo;s also the closest option to the terminals, providing a short walk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that the<strong> typical long-term stay limit for your car is about three weeks<\/strong>. If you plan to be away longer than this, you&rsquo;ll need to call the airport at (916) 874-0825.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"free-parking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Parking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Free parking<\/strong> is hard to come by, especially at airports like SMF. There isn&rsquo;t any free parking available, but there is a waiting area at the southwestern end of the airport. It&rsquo;s essentially a <strong>cell phone lot<\/strong>, which allows you to stay in your car while you wait to pick up passengers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You must stay inside your car while waiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a three-hour waiting limit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can get a ticket if you leave your car unattended<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<html><body><div id=\"2_in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/search?can_store_vehicle=true&amp;overrideTitle=Car%20Storage&amp;storing=Vehicle\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'second in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"second-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <h2 id=\"save-up-to-1200-year-on-car-storage\">Save up to $1,200\/year on car storage<\/h2>\r\n        <button>Search in your area\r\n          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 25 24\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M11 2.90625C9.4981 2.90625 8.02993 3.35162 6.78114 4.18603C5.53236 5.02044 4.55905 6.20642 3.98429 7.594C3.40954 8.98157 3.25916 10.5084 3.55217 11.9815C3.84517 13.4545 4.56841 14.8076 5.63041 15.8696C6.69242 16.9316 8.04549 17.6548 9.51854 17.9478C10.9916 18.2408 12.5184 18.0905 13.906 17.5157C14.4508 17.29 14.9646 17.0029 15.4382 16.6618L19.5132 20.7368C19.9892 21.2127 20.7608 21.2127 21.2368 20.7368C21.7127 20.2608 21.7127 19.4892 21.2368 19.0132L17.1618 14.9382C17.2137 14.8661 17.2645 14.793 17.314 14.7189C18.1484 13.4701 18.5938 12.0019 18.5938 10.5C18.5938 8.48601 17.7937 6.55451 16.3696 5.13041C14.9455 3.7063 13.014 2.90625 11 2.90625ZM14.7493 14.0398C14.9463 13.8311 15.1264 13.6054 15.2873 13.3647C15.8538 12.5167 16.1562 11.5198 16.1562 10.5C16.1562 9.13248 15.613 7.82096 14.646 6.85398C13.679 5.887 12.3675 5.34375 11 5.34375C9.98019 5.34375 8.98328 5.64616 8.13534 6.21273C7.2874 6.77931 6.62651 7.58461 6.23625 8.52679C5.84599 9.46897 5.74387 10.5057 5.94283 11.5059C6.14178 12.5061 6.63287 13.4249 7.35398 14.146C8.0751 14.8671 8.99385 15.3582 9.99407 15.5572C10.9943 15.7561 12.031 15.654 12.9732 15.2638C13.5557 15.0225 14.086 14.6777 14.5398 14.2493C14.5699 14.2108 14.6028 14.1737 14.6382 14.1382C14.6737 14.1028 14.7108 14.0699 14.7493 14.0398Z\" fill=\"#EFF5F8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg>\r\n        <\/button>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/a>\n  <\/div><\/body><\/html><h2 id=\"additional-parking-services-and-amenities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Parking Services and Amenities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sacramento International Airport offers a few amenities to help you feel safer leaving your car behind.

All EV charging stations at this airport are <strong>free to use<\/strong>, making it a convenient and cost-effective fuel option while you&rsquo;re away on your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"payment-methods-and-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payment Methods and Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, SMF shifted to cashless operations at the payment booths. So, you&rsquo;ll need to make all your parking payments with a <strong>credit or debit card<\/strong> at the <strong>entry and exit gates<\/strong>. Contactless payment options are also available for those using mobile wallets, adding extra convenience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;d prefer to pay with cash, don&rsquo;t worry. There are designated <strong>self-serve kiosks<\/strong> throughout the airport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that Sacramento Airport <strong>doesn&rsquo;t allow parking bookings in advance<\/strong>. <em>However, the airport website keeps an <\/em><strong><em>updated <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sacramento.aero\/smf\/about\/maps#intmap_acc_publicparking\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>parking map<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em> of how many spots are available in each lot so you can plan ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-to-save-money-on-sacramento-airport-parking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Save Money on Sacramento Airport Parking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to save money is by <strong>utilizing the economy parking lots<\/strong>, especially for long trips. In one of the SMF lots, your parking fee can increase quickly with each passing day. Thankfully, the economy lots can save you a few dollars per day&ndash;<em>which might seem like nothing, but it can save you a good amount by the time you get back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sacramento International Airport is a busy place, with about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/sacramento-airport-travelers-frustrated-traffic-parking-2024\/61198225\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>24,000 people<\/strong><\/a> passing through the airport each day.

But if you think you&rsquo;ll be leaving your car for a longer period, using other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/places-to-store-a-car\/\">car storage options<\/a> may make more sense for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try <strong>Neighbor<\/strong>, <em>a peer-to-peer <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/car-storage-near-me\"><em>car storage marketplace<\/em><\/a>, that lets you choose from nationwide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/car-storage-insurance\/\">car storage<\/a> spaces in your preferred neighborhood.

Before your arrival, check this live report so that you aren&rsquo;t driving up and down rows in a full lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-there-free-parking-at-smf\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is There Free Parking at SMF?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All regular parking spots and accessible parking spots have the same rates. <strong>The only free option is the cell phone lot<\/strong>, which is only for people waiting to pick up passengers. <em>You cannot leave your car here unattended.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-much-is-parking-at-sacramento-international-airport\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Is Parking at Sacramento International Airport?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parking at SMF ranges from just <strong>$2.00 to $19.00 per day<\/strong>.
