Wherever your summer travels take you, you can save a nice chunk of change by prebooking your parking online before you arrive. Parkers who prebook always save $2 per day over drive-up rates.
Those flying out of Terminal 1 over the Fourth of July holiday will enjoy even bigger savings. Save $7 a day on daily parking at the Terminal 1 ramps from July 1-4 when you book online.
Prebooked parking is a great way to use your own vehicle and ensure a contact-free commute to the airport. A QR code that you’ll receive in your confirmation is all you need to enter and exit the ramp. You can even download the code directly to your mobile wallet.
Save money, minimize touchpoints and travel with confidence by using Prebooked Parking for your airport parking needs.

We're in the thick of the summer travel season now, and MSP Airport is anxious to hear what influences your travel plans. We have an ongoing survey that gauges attitudes about air travel and the answers are helping shape the MSP experience.
One thing we already know: Travel is back. Our surveys are now showing that 88 percent of respondents would be willing to get on a plane tomorrow, a figure that's almost triple what it was at the start of the pandemic.
Even if you’ve already taken the survey, please consider taking it again, as your thoughts and answers may have changed over time. We also add new questions each month. This month, we're asking "What do you like to do to pass time in the terminal?"
Among topics that survey takers have shown an interest in: MSP's safety initiatives related to the pandemic, which are all a part of our Travel Confidently MSP program.
