Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is rolling the dice by hiking parking rates more than 60% over the past few months. Daily airport rates have gone from $10 daily to $16 this past November at the Big Blue Deck and just a few weeks ago went from $19 to $20 daily at the McNamara Deck. Despite the hike and noticeably fewer cars, revenues for parking at the airport are up.

It’s an interesting strategy employed by the folks at DTW and one that may work, but it certainly won’t endear most patrons, particularly considering the economics times we are in right now. Just 5 years ago parking rates were only $4 daily at the terminals.

If you’re looking for great service and rock-bottom rates, reserve your next airport parking space at Airport Parking at Park ‘N’ Go on Wick Rd. For only $8.54 a day, it’ll feel like you’re “Back to the Future”.
