How to Park at the Minneapolis Airport

The Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport is easy to navigate, with user-friendly parking facilities. MSP is located in Bloomington, Minnesota, south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Before creating a plan for parking, figure out which terminal from which you are leaving. The Lindbergh terminal is the larger, main terminal and offers general, short-term and valet parking, while the Humphrey terminal is much smaller, offering MSP value-parking and short-term only. A free lightrail connects the terminals.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can save money by using the discounted ePark rate. Insert your credit card or debit card at the parking entrance to record the day and time you entered the ramp. Upon leaving, reinsert the same card to make final parking payment and save money. Because the system is fully automated, you will not have to wait in line or deal with cashiers.

  • Leave early to account for traffic delays and full parking lots. Check vacancies in ramps ahead of time by using the MSP airport website.

  • Motorcycles are prohibited in MSP airport parking ramps.
