Key Airport Parking Rules and Tips
- Short-Term Savings. Because the Short Term Lot has a lower daily maximum ($22) than the covered Long Term Garage ($27) and features no height restrictions, it is the more economical option for uncovered multi-day parking and oversized vehicles.
- Curbside Drop-Off and Pick-Up. Active loading and unloading are permitted at the yellow terminal curb, while drivers waiting for arriving passengers should use the free waiting area or the first 30 free minutes in the Short Term Lot.
