How much do resorts charge for parking?
Resort parking fees depend almost entirely on the market: drive-to value destinations usually park free, while big-city and Strip resorts charge a nightly rate that can rival a tank of gas. This matters most for vacpack travelers because so many packages are road trips — a "free" parking market keeps the deal clean, while a $40-a-night Strip garage can add more than $200 to a five-night stay. Because rates change, we track package prices by market rather than publishing property-specific parking charges that go stale.
The table below gives the market-typical range for self-parking. Valet is usually higher, and some resorts bundle parking into a broader resort fee, so always confirm what is and is not included.
Resort parking fees by vacpack market
Typical self-parking ranges across the destinations we track most. Confirm the live figure at booking.
| Market | Typical self-parking range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Branson | Free | Drive-to value market |
| Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge | Free at most cabins/resorts | Downtown attraction lots may charge |
| Myrtle Beach | $0-$20/night | Often one free space; extra cars charged |
| Orlando | $0-$30/night | Theme-park-corridor hotels charge; packages often free |
| Las Vegas Strip | $25-$45/night (valet higher) | Off-Strip and locals casinos often free |
| Cancun (all-inclusive) | Usually free | Most guests arrive by transfer |
How do you avoid resort parking fees?
Pick a property that includes parking, book a vacation package that quotes an all-in price, or choose off-Strip and locals-oriented properties where self-parking is commonly free. Before booking, confirm on the property page whether parking is free, bundled into a resort fee, or charged separately, and whether valet is your only option. For a road trip, multiply the nightly parking rate by your nights and add it to the sticker price — it can flip which "deal" is actually cheaper.
