Parking at Blue Grass Airport (LEX)

Where to park at LEX

LEX uses ticketless parking. Your license plate is your ticket: it is scanned when you enter and again when you leave, and the total appears on the exit touchscreen. Cash is not accepted. Visa, Mastercard and American Express work, and a reverse ATM is in the lobby.

  $17 per day maximum, plus 6 percent sales tax. The first 30 minutes are free, then $2 for 31 to 60 minutes, and $1 for each additional hour.

• Long-term
