Hotels with free parking for the duration of your trip at O'Hare (or Midway)
⏳Verification pending — confirm directly with the hotel
1The situation
You're driving in from Wisconsin, Indiana or downstate for a flight out of O'Hare, and you need to leave the car for a week. Both airports now cost about the same to park at: O'Hare's Economy Lot G is $15 a day and Midway's economy lot $15, so a week is roughly $105 either way, before a pre-dawn drive and the lot-to-terminal ride. A park-sleep-fly (or 'stay and park') package bundles one night, parking for a stated number of days, and the shuttle both ways. Compared honestly — package rate against room plus $105 of airport parking plus the stress — it usually wins. Compared to the plain room rate, it looks expensive. Use the first comparison. And note the tax angle: the airport-cluster hotels are all in suburban municipalities, outside both the 17.5% Chicago hotel tax and the new 1.5% downtown surcharge.
2What you actually need
The number of parking days covered, in the confirmation
Packages typically cover 7-14 days; some charge a daily rate beyond that. Get the number in writing and know the overage rate before you leave the car.
Shuttle both ways, including the return at O'Hare's MMF
On the way back you'll ride the ATS to the Multi-Modal Facility and wait for the hotel van. Confirm that the return pickup is included, how to summon it, and whether it runs at the hour you land.
Where the car actually sits
Most airport-area hotels have a surface lot; ask whether the long-term section is fenced and lit and whether the hotel accepts any liability. At Midway the lots back onto an industrial strip — fine, but ask.
The real comparison
Package rate vs (plain room rate + $70-140 airport parking for 7 days + any rideshares). Run it for your own dates; at peak convention weeks in Rosemont the package premium widens and the answer can flip.

Economy Lot G is $15 a day (Chicago Department of Aviation, May 2026) and connects to all terminals on the free ATS people-mover. Short stays are tiered before the daily cap: $3 for the first hour, $6 for two, $10 for three, $14 for four. A week in economy is about $105. The terminal garages are far more — budget roughly triple. Check flychicago.com before you book; these rates move.
Midway economy parking
The official Economy Lot is $15 a day and the economy garage $14 for 2-24 hours; the terminal garage runs up to $35 a day. A week in economy is about $105, the same as O'Hare. Check flychicago.com before booking.
Typical package premium over the plain room rate
$20-60 per night for 7 days' parking, depending on hotel and season. Against $105 of airport economy parking for the same week, a package priced $40-60 over the room rate is the break-even point. Confirm directly with the hotel.
Who runs packages
Mostly the Rosemont, Des Plaines and Schiller Park chains with big surface lots, and the Cicero Avenue hotels at Midway. Packages are usually direct-booking rate codes — an OTA room is just a room. Use our link to reach the hotel, then ask for the package by name.
Shuttle pickup on your return (O'Hare)
Hotel shuttles collect at the Multi-Modal Facility's shuttle center (ATS ride from the terminal). Allow 15-25 minutes plus the wait; confirm how to call the van.
Prices and schedules change. Treat figures as ranges and check before booking.
5What to avoid
⚠️Comparing the package to the nightly room rate. A $175 package beats a $115 room once you add roughly $105 for a week in O'Hare or Midway economy parking.
⚠️Booking the package through an OTA and assuming the parking is included — it almost never is. Book the package directly.
⚠️Leaving the car past the covered days without paying the extension; it is charged at a penalty daily rate or towed.
⚠️Booking a downtown hotel with parking instead — $40-70 a night for downtown self-parking, plus 19% tax on the room, makes a week at the airport cluster look free.

Use the rate links on each hotel above. If a hotel's value depends on a named package (park & cruise, shuttle), confirm the package with the hotel before you pay — packages are usually direct-booking rate codes, not OTA rooms.
