How we pick "cheapest"
We take the lowest published daily rate for a standard vehicle from each lot's own site or a booking site, and record the source and date. We don't include coupons or member rates, and we flag minimums, entry fees, closed days and ship restrictions. See how we check prices.
Is cheap off-site parking safe?
We don't inspect lots. Before you book, check recent reviews, whether the lot is gated, lit or attended, its shuttle hours and frequency, its cancellation policy, and whether it serves your terminal and sailing day.
When the port garage is worth paying for
The port garage is worth it for late arrivals, oversized vehicles, mobility needs, short stays, or when an off-site lot is closed on your sailing day or doesn't serve your ship.
