Something to also think about. Some hotels near airports run a service where, for a small fee, you can park in their lot (even long term for a few days) and use their free shuttle service to the airport. In my experience this can be incredibly cheap vs. any other alternative.

They get a little fee, plus the appearance of a fuller looking lot (they look like a more popular hotel), you get dirt cheap parking and a shuttle back and forth to your car.

You have to call around a bit to see if a hotel offers it or not, but once you find one that does, it can be a great deal.
