Is Airport Parking Cheaper Than a Taxi?

For many travellers a taxi feels easier — but is it cheaper? We ran the numbers.

The break-even point

For trips of 3 days or fewer, a taxi can win on cost if you live close to the airport. Beyond that, parking almost always wins.

Hidden taxi costs

Airport drop-off charges, surge pricing and return fares add up fast — often doubling the headline quote.

When parking wins

Longer trips, groups, and anyone living 20+ minutes away are almost always better off parking and comparing prices in advance.
