I was paying $14 a day for airport parking near SeaTac until a bartender asked why I don't just park at the Tukwila light rail lot for free
She said it like it was nothing, so I tried it the next trip and saved $56 over four days, and now I'm wondering what other dumb travel habits I've been paying for without even noticing it.
Real talk the light rail trick has saved me so much money over the years. Another one people sleep on is parking at a hotel near the airport that lets you leave your car if you book one night, but that only makes sense for longer trips. If you travel a lot, look into the off-site lots a couple miles out, they run shuttles every 10 minutes and cost like $6 a day instead of $14. Also check if your credit card has any airport parking perks, some of them do and nobody ever reads the fine print. The Tukwila move is legit though, just make sure you get back before the last train runs or you're stuck paying for a rideshare anyway.
