Frequently Asked Questions about parking at CHS

What is the most affordable parking option at Charleston International Airport (CHS) in 2026?

While the official Economy Lots (A, B, and C) charge $13 per day, the most budget-friendly choice is booking through an off-site partner. Our off-site rates for Charleston airport parking often start as low as $5.00–$7.00 per day, allowing you to save up to 60% compared to on-site terminal parking.

How will the new 7,500-space parking garage affect CHS parking in 2026?

The airport is currently constructing the largest parking facility in South Carolina. The first phase, adding 2,500 new spaces, is scheduled to open in November 2026. Until then, on-site lots frequently reach capacity during peak holiday seasons and the "Spoleto Festival" months. Reserving an off-site spot in advance is the best way to guarantee a space during this final phase of construction.

Is there a free shuttle for the CHS Economy and Overflow lots?

Yes, the airport provides a complimentary shuttle that runs every five minutes between the Economy/Overflow lots and the terminal. However, for those choosing off-site CHS parking, our partners also provide free 24/7 shuttle service. These shuttles often offer more personalized luggage assistance and drop you off directly at the check-in curb.

What are the current daily rates for the CHS Hourly and Daily garages?

As of 2026, the Hourly Parking Deck is priced at $3 per hour or a $21 daily maximum, while the Daily Parking Deck costs $5 per hour or a $17 daily maximum. If you are traveling for more than a weekend, these costs add up quickly; switching to an off-site long-term lot can save you over $70 on a typical week-long trip.

How does the 2026 Airport Connector Road project impact my travel time?

Construction on the new five-lane Airport Connector Road is expected to begin in late 2026 to alleviate congestion on International Boulevard. During this time, we recommend arriving at your off-site parking lot at least 2.5 hours before your flight to account for potential lane closures and increased traffic near the Boeing facility and the airport entrance.

Does Charleston Airport offer free parking for disabled travelers?

Yes, CHS provides free parking for the first 48 hours for vehicles with a valid disabled license plate or placard. After the initial 48 hours, the prevailing daily rates ($13–$21) apply. For longer trips, travelers with disabilities often find our off-site partners more economical, as many provide accessible shuttle service and lower flat daily rates.

Are there EV charging stations available at CHS?

The Hourly and Daily garages at CHS offer a limited number of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. If these are full, several of our off-site parking partners near North Charleston have added Level 2 charging ports. You can filter your search on our site to find lots that ensure your vehicle is fully charged upon your return.

Is it better to use Valet or a long-term lot at Charleston Airport?

Official Valet parking at CHS is $25 per day, which is ideal for business travelers in a rush. However, for leisure travelers, the cost difference is significant. Our self-park long-term options provide the same 24/7 security as valet for a fraction of the price, leaving you with more "vacation fund" for your destination.

Can I park oversized vehicles or trucks at the off-site lots?

While the CHS Hourly Garage has a height restriction of 7'11”, our off-site "Self Uncovered" lots are perfect for lifted trucks, vans, and oversized SUVs. These surface lots have no height clearances, making them the safest and most convenient option for larger vehicles that won't fit in standard airport decks.

What is the cancellation policy for CHS parking reservations?

We offer a flexible cancellation policy to accommodate the changing nature of travel. Most reservations made through our platform can be cancelled for a full refund (minus any protection fees) if requested before your scheduled check-in time. This provides a risk-free alternative to driving up to the airport and hoping for an open spot.
