Boston Logan Airport parking garages cap clearance at 6 feet 10 inches—so if you're driving an SUV with a roof rack, a van, or a pickup with a ladder rack, you need to know exactly which vehicles fit and where to park if yours doesn't.

This guide gives you the exact Logan Airport parking garage height for each garage, what types of vehicles typically fit, and the best off-site alternatives if you're over the limit. We'll help you make the right call so you don’t get turned away or stuck at the entrance.

Why Garage Height Matters at Logan Airport

Boston Logan's parking garages have a maximum clearance of 6 feet 10 inches. That might be fine for sedans and small SUVs, but if you’re driving anything taller, you risk:

  • Scraping or damaging your roof rack or cargo box
  • Getting stuck at the entrance
  • Having to back out in traffic
  • Wasting time finding another lot

Checking the clearance limit before you leave home can save you a last-minute scramble at the garage entrance.
