If cost is a factor, the best parking at Seatac Airport is usually off-site

As with most major airports, SeaTac's airport parking rates are generally more expensive ON the airport grounds than OFF. Not only can offsite lots offer you lower rates, but they also provide free shuttle service to and from the terminal.

Here's a list of 20+ parking lots within 5 miles of Seattle Airport that offer preflight discounted bookings with free shuttles to the terminals.

SCORE MORE SAVINGS: If you end up booking an off-airport lot with that list, use SeaTac parking coupon code HELPER5 at checkout to save an extra $5!

Aggregate parking websites like these let you compare public parking availability at multiple nearby lots and easily find a low cost that fits your budget. You can book online from there to secure the spot so you'll know exactly where to go and how much you are going to pay.

Most lots have shuttles leaving every 5-10 minutes, so getting to your flight on time is not an issue. These affordable rates are a big bonus when you factor in enhanced security and other perks like valet service or indoor facilities. You can also read previous SeaTac airport parking reviews to help you choose a lot and feel good knowing that your car is in good hands.

Of course, rates can change depending on the length of your trip and the time of year (peak holiday travel can cause parking availability to be scarce) so booking early is helpful for getting the best deals. From time to time, the site also offers SeaTac parking coupons that can take even more off your space reservation.

Discover SeaTac parking coupons (and other travel bargains) using local Groupon deals

Daily deal sites like Groupon are popular with off-airport parking companies looking to entice you with a discount in the hopes of converting you to a loyal and regular customer.

To easily find local deals on overnight SEA parking, bookmark this Groupon page and check back often.

Our search for the Seattle-Tacoma area turned up four SEA airport parking deals, one of which offered half off one day of valet parking that got the rate down to just $7.50 per day (and you could combine up to seven deals to secure that rate for a week). Like most off-site lots, a 24/7 shuttle service from the remote lot to your terminal was included. This company even offered customers a complimentary newspaper and bottle of water!

Often times, when you’re figuring out where to park at Sea-Tac, deals from a site like Groupon are cheaper options. But while you’re on the site, go ahead and check for other coupons for services near SeaTac, especially if you’re planning an extended stay in the Seattle-Tacoma area before or after your trip. Restaurants and bars, shopping, day spas, wine tastings, and sight-seeing tours are all popular deals. Before purchasing an offer, be sure and read the reviews and fine print regarding expiration dates.

Forget about parking at SeaTac airport and book two one-way car rentals instead

Do you live pretty far away from SeaTac? Or will you be traveling for an extended period of time (think 10 days or more)? If so, you may want to consider a cost-saving strategy we like to call the double rental.

With the double rental, you leave your vehicle at home, thereby eliminating expensive SEA airport parking rates altogether.

Here’s what you do:

First, find a good deal using this Seattle car rental aggregator to compare rates to/from Seattle Tacoma Airport. We like that particular car rental vendor because it’s easy to compare costs, the prices are competitive and online reservations can be made easily and without a credit card.

Reserve a rental car one way from your hometown to SeaTac for the day you’re flying out. Drive the vehicle to the airport and return it at the convenient airport drop-off area prior to departing on your trip. Reverse the process on the day you return with a second one-way car rental back home.

Seattle rental car prices can fluctuate, especially during the most popular times to visit Seattle, Tacoma, and the surrounding region. But if you book early and choose a car just big enough to accommodate you and your luggage, the double rental is a legitimate way to save on long term SeaTac parking.

Onsite long term parking at SeaTac is there when all else fails

Many travelers would like to avoid as much hassle as possible and just use the on-site parking at Seattle airport.

Yes, it might be the most convenient, but it really is the most expensive route to take.

Unfortunately, you'll find that parking fees here are in-line with some of the most expensive major U.S. airports – comparable to Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and San Francisco (SFO) airports.

How much is parking at SeaTac onsite? Compare rates below:

Location	Parking Type	Daily Rate
4th Floor (closest to the terminal)	Terminal Direct	$39 max
1st – 3rd Floors	General Parking	$32 max
5th – 8th Floors	General Parking	$32 max
4th Floor	Monthly Parking	n/a – $375 monthly rate
Special weekly rates are available in General Parking areas for $149 for up to 7 days. Staying longer than 7 days? Normal daily rates will apply for partial weeks of parking until you reach 7 days. Parking rates include all taxes and fees.

While booking your spot ahead of time is not an option, there are occasional SeaTac coupons for parking at the airport made available, but these are generally for long-term parking customers only, and discounts are limited.

For up-to-date information for on-site parking prices at SeaTac, and to see if any Seattle airport parking coupons are available, you can check the official Port Seattle website's parking page, where you can find everything you need to make an informed decision on which type of parking will work best for you.

Of course, the time of year you travel and Seattle WA area local events could have a direct effect on the rates, or cause lots to fill up quicker than normal, so you may want to take that into consideration when making your travel plans.

Then you can decide if spending a bit more is worth it to you for this perk.

Using your smartphone will allow you to get up-to-the-minute traffic alerts, which will allow you to alter your route, if necessary.

Sea-Tac Helpful Information for Travelers

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport SEA, which is operated by the Port of Seattle, serves the Pacific Northwest, including the metro area of Seattle, Washington’s largest city. Nearly $50 million passengers travel through SEATAC each year, consistently ranking it in the top 25 busiest airports in the U.S.

Sea-Tac is located about 14 miles south of downtown Seattle and 18 miles northeast of Tacoma. It is the primary hub for Alaska Airlines, which operates approximately 50 percent of the airport’s passenger service. Delta is second, followed by United and Southwest.

The airport also is convenient for Seattle’s multiple cruise terminals (about a 20-30 minute ride). Seven cruise lines service the region, mainly for cruises headed to Alaska.

Sea-Tac’s main terminal is laid out in the shape of an X with four different concourses. The middle area, known as the central terminal, has no gates for boarding but offers a variety of retail shops and restaurants. In addition, there are two satellite Terminals (north and south) with 14 gates each.

Looking for places to eat at Sea-Tac? There are plenty of restaurants to explore in the central terminal and gate areas (thought the pickings are a bit slim at S Gates so best to eat elsewhere if that’s your departure/arrival area).

Starbucks, which is headquartered in Seattle, has multiple locations inside the airport — central terminal, and A, B, C and N Gates. You’ll also find Starbucks Urban Markets at D Gates and the baggage claim area.

In addition to coffee, Seattle is well known for its fresh seafood, so if you’re in the mood and on the go, Eater.com recommends Lucky Louie Fish Shack where the specialty is fish and chips made with sustainable Alaskan pollock.

Other top picks include Africa Lounge, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Camden Food Co., Skillet and Rel’Lish Burger Lounge. If you have time to sit and relax, try Floret or Mountain Room, which offers a cozy fireplace and hand-painted mural of Mount Rainier.

As with most major airports, shopping is abundant at Sea-Tac. The Eat, Shop & More website provides details on locations, hours of operation and much more for the entire terminal.

If you’re traveling with kids, you’ll want to check out the brightly colored children’s play area at Sea-Tac, which you’ll find between Central Terminal and A Concourse. There are plenty of things for the kids to climb on and comfy seating for parents.

Music and art are also prevalent at SEA. Check out the schedule of live music offered daily at multiple locations. More than 100 works of art are on display at the airport in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, photography, and glass.

Some other conveniences you may enjoy while at Seattle-Tacoma airport are:

• • Free wi-fi
  • Bag storage
  • Interpreter services
  • Water filling stations
  • Mailing services
  • Suites for nursing mothers
  • Bike resources
  • Luggage carts
    Finally, one other cool service offered at SeaTac is “Send It Home.” These self-service kiosks located near every security checkpoint allow you to mail back home prohibited items you accidentally packed (such as pocket knives and scissors).
