Quick question about parking @ Bradley

Submitted by skiitifyoucan t3_yzml4b in Hartford

Hey guys I have a tall vehicle. I'd like to park relatively close. Not too concerned about price as it seems the fees are reasonable . Would anyone be able to recommend where to park (no garages). I've never been there before. I'm guessing there's an uncovered lot that is close by?

I parked at one of the farther lots, they’re open air so heights shouldn’t be a problem

theres an attached parking garage. thats most expensive. there's a separate lot that's a quick walk that's a bit cheaper, and then one street over there's a shitload of private parking businesses that run shuttles back and forth. Theyre not bad especially this time of year because you call them to come get you and they'll preheat your car/clear the snow or frost off, and bring you door to door.

Walk up lots 1 & 2 - think those are the numbers - are open air. Far end of terminal and wall by Sheraton back

Here's BDL's parking website: https://parkbradleyairport.com/

Included in the website is the detail that the first level of the garage has a clearance of a bit over 9 feet. (The higher levels are lower clearance.)

Not mentioned on the website are the third-party parking services like The Parking Spot and Laz, all of which are mostly open-air. I'd choose them over BDL lots 3, 4, and 5 because of the frequency at which the shuttles to the lots run.

Lot 1 is a normal lot and you can easily walk to the terminal through a pedestrian bridge. The BDL parking map shows Lot 2 available, which is also a normal lot, but I am pretty sure it is now reserved for employees.

Lot 1 and 2 are uncovered and walking distance. If by tall vehicle you mean a lifted or full size truck it might be a tight fit. They are usually close to full so there is no "way in the back" where you can park less than perfect and not be in anyones way.

The parking spot is a good place, it's a 5 minute shuttle ride to the airport. There is both that way valet and self parking option.

There are tons of options I think including some open lots you can walk to the terminal from and others with reliable shuttles that will take you the 5 minutes to the terminal.

thanks everyone - I just parked in outdoor Lot 2. I just wasn't sure how hard or easy that was going to be. Turns out it was easy. It was like a 90 second outdoor walk and it cost me like $62 for 8 days or something like that.
