Parking at Dane County Regional Truax Field (MSN)

Where to park at MSN

Parking at MSN is first come, first served. The airport does not reserve spaces, and it says third-party sites that sell pre-reserved parking are not accurate. Fees are calculated daily from the time the ticket is issued.

• Economy lot

  $10 per day, the cheapest option. It is a park-and-walk lot about 1,500 feet from the terminal, a 6 to 8 minute walk. Height clearance is 11 feet 8 inches in the left lane and 9 feet 4 inches in the right.

• Surface lot

  $12 per day, about 700 feet from the terminal, a 3 to 5 minute walk. Height clearance is 8 feet 10 inches.

• Ramp

  $14 per day. The ramp has elevators to the terminal and a height clearance of 8 feet 2 inches.

• Hourly

  $2 per hour up to six hours, and $20 per day. It is in the ramp, with the same 8 feet 2 inches height clearance.

• Cell phone lot

  Free. Use it to wait for an arriving passenger, then call them when they reach baggage claim.

• Stays longer than 30 days need to be arranged with the parking manager at (608) 246-3394.
• Disabled parking is available in all parking areas, with stalls near the ramp elevators on the terminal side and immediately upon entering the surface lot.
• The Hourly rate is $2 per hour for up to six hours. Beyond six hours it switches to the $20 daily rate, so for longer stays the Economy lot at $10 per day is cheaper.
