Motorcycle parking at Chicago Midway airport

[irish]

Can anyone confirm if motorcycles park for free at Chicago midway airport? I am flying out of there on Tuesday for the first time in quite a while. I found one website that said you can drive around the entrance gate at any airport terminal parking ramp and park for free, but the official website makes no mention of it. For what it’s worth, I can confirm free motorcycle parking at Dane County Airport in Madison, Wisconsin and General Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee.

Where can I park my motorcycle or oversized vehicle at MDW Airport?

You may park your motorcycle for free at any terminal garage by driving around the garage entrance gate without taking a parking ticket. On the other hand, larger vehicles like Semi-trucks, trailers, mobile homes, and large box trucks are prohibited from parking in any of the Midway parking areas. So, if you’re planning to go to MDW Airport with oversized vehicles, you may want to find an off-site parking lot that can accommodate your needs.

Or, call the Parking Garage Office at (773) 838-0756 to verify.​​

Thanks, Ikraus, but this is the website I was referring to and is not the official Midway site. The person who answered the phone at that number was not super helpful but said motorcycles are "not allowed." I was able to connect with a Chicago resident who said it is not free. I don’t know why the website you linked to as the only one that seems to mention free motorcycle parking, maybe it was free at one point and that changed or something. Hard to know for sure, but I’m not going to take a chance, I will be taking my car, unfortunately. Cheers.
