Remote lot with a free shuttle — cheaper, and squeezed by construction.

Economy Lot at DCA

Economy is the value lot, with a 24/7 shuttle back to the terminal. Construction has cut how many cars it can take through 2026. Check the board before you pass the garage exits. Turning around on the airport road is miserable.

Best for: Overnight trips if it still has room.
To the terminal: Free shuttle 24/7.
: Capacity reduced through 2026
: Not a walking lot
