Every long-term reservation at SmartPark includes:
- Fully fenced and gated perimeter — not a public lot
- Surveillance cameras across the entire property, recorded 24/7
- Uniformed on-site staff, around the clock — every day of the year
- High-output lot lighting from dusk to dawn, with motion-triggered zones

Before You Leave: 6 Tips for Long-Term Parkers at PHL
If you’re parking for more than a few days, a little preparation saves you hassle on return. Here’s what experienced long-term travelers do before handing us their keys:
1. Fill up before you arrive
Gas stations near PHL charge a premium. Fill up a few miles out, then arrive at SmartPark with a full tank — you’ll appreciate it on return.
2. Take valuables with you
Our lot is secure, but any parking lot recommends removing anything worth stealing — laptops, GPS units, loose cash, even visible sunglasses.
3. Check your battery if trip is 14+ days
Batteries older than 3 years can drain during extended parking due to modern electronics. If you’re worried, book a jump ready for your return — it’s free.
4. Top off your tires
Slight pressure loss over 10+ days is normal. Start at proper PSI so you don’t return to a soft tire. (If you do, our air fill is free.)
5. Photograph your spot number
Quick photo of your row and spot number on your phone. After a long trip, your memory of where you parked is… optimistic. The photo wins.
6. Keep your reservation confirmation
Screenshot your confirmation email. If your phone dies mid-trip, having the reservation number on a printed page speeds up pickup on return.
Coming Home: What to Expect on Return
After a long trip, the last thing you want is a parking headache. Here’s exactly what happens when you land at PHL and need to get back to your car:
- Grab your bags at PHL baggage claim.
- Text or call SmartPark at 610-521-3400 — tell us you’ve landed. Your reservation number speeds things up, but we can find you without it.
- Walk to the SmartPark shuttle pickup zone — clearly signed at every PHL terminal, at the outer curb.
- Shuttle arrives in 5–7 minutes, 24 hours a day. Even 3am arrivals on international flights — same service, same wait time.
- Driver takes you back to SmartPark, helps with your bags from curb to car.
- Find your car in your original spot (use the photo you took — see tip #5 above).
- Drive out — pay at the exit booth if you didn’t prepay, or drive straight through if you did.
Total time from landing to driving home: typically 25–35 minutes, depending on baggage claim. Faster than the airport’s own lots, which often have 15–20 minute shuttle waits and require navigating a massive garage to find your car.
Free Emergency Services for Long-Term Customers
After 10+ days in any parking lot, it’s common to return to a car with a drained battery, a soft tire, or other small issues. SmartPark handles these on site — for free — so you never have to call AAA, wait 45 minutes for roadside assistance, or spend $100 on a tow.
Most common after 10+ day trips
Air fill or spare swap
Keys locked in car
Up to 1 gallon
Winter trips covered
From your vehicle on return
All included with every long-term reservation at no additional charge. You land at PHL, come back to SmartPark, and leave with a working car — even after two weeks in January.
Long-Term Parking for Business Travelers & Frequent Flyers
