Rules
Free. Wait in the lot until your passengers call to say they have their luggage and are at the curb. No parking at the curb unless you are actively loading; vehicles left unattended at the curb are towed immediately.
Waiting at the curb and other options
- Instead of the cell phone lot, you can also park in the Terminal Garage and meet arriving passengers inside the terminal.
Meeting them inside instead
To walk in and meet your passengers in the terminal, you pay for short-term parking. The lowest posted price at a lot within walking distance:
| Time parked | Cost | Lot |
|---|---|---|
| 30 min | $2 | Hourly Parking |
| 1 hour | $4 | Hourly Parking |
| 2 hours | $8 | Hourly Parking |
