On-site parking at JAXPORT is closest but priciest ($17 a day to park beside the JAXPORT terminal (tax included) for a standard vehicle and $34 a day for an oversized one; the lot holds about 600 cars and no longer takes reservations); off-site lots are usually cheaper (off-site lots like The Parking Mall run about $12 a day with a shuttle to the terminal) with a shuttle. Portside is bringing reserved off-site parking to Jacksonville, so join the waitlist.
On-site lots sit right by the terminals, so you walk to the gangway. The trade-offs: they run $17 a day to park beside the JAXPORT terminal (tax included) for a standard vehicle and $34 a day for an oversized one; the lot holds about 600 cars and no longer takes reservations, they are largely first-come, and the closest spaces fill on busy embarkation weekends. You pay for each day your car is parked, so a 4-day cruise is about $68 and a 5-day about $85 at the on-site lot.
Off-site lots are a short shuttle ride from the terminals and usually cost less: off-site lots like The Parking Mall run about $12 a day with a shuttle to the terminal. Reserved off-site parking adds the thing on-site cannot guarantee, a held spot booked in advance, so there is no scramble after a long drive. That is the model Portside is bringing to Jacksonville.
