Parking at San Diego International Airport is conveniently located outside each of the three terminal buildings. Motorists can park on-site for short-term and long-term periods (up to 30 days). Off-site long-term parking is also available on a daily basis and can be a useful option, especially during busy holiday travel periods when on-site parking is at capacity.

There are two fast payment options:

  • The automated Express Parking pay stations located outside Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, or
  • The fully staffed payment booths at the exit gates of each parking lot.

Parking rates at San Diego International Airport are clearly posted at each parking lot. Your first 24 hours are only $21.00. After the first 24 hours, each additional 24-hour period or any part thereof is $26.00. Lost tickets will be charged at the maximum daily rate.

Both payment areas accept cash and major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diner’s Club). For your convenience, several ATMs are located within each terminal.

Additional Parking Notes

  • Disabled Parking: Parking for travelers with disabilities is available at all lots. Well-defined spaces are conveniently located near each skybridge elevator and all entry points for each terminal. For additional information call Parking Information at 619.291.2087.
  • Lost parking tickets: Please secure your parking tickets. Lost tickets are charged at the maximum daily rate.
  • Parking Lot Security: Parking lots are regularly patrolled by Airport personnel.
  • Vehicle Assistance: Emergency lockout service and/or towing can be arranged by calling Parking Information at 619.291.2087.

Curbside Drop-Offs, Parking and Pick Up

Peak travel times bring additional passengers. Please remember that curb fronts are reserved for active loading and unloading only. This policy is in accordance with recent heightened security measures and will be strictly enforced by Airport personnel.

Curbside parking is never permitted at San Diego International Airport. Stopping times at the curb for loading and unloading should be brief. Increased security measures require that unattended vehicles and vehicles in “No Parking” areas will be ticketed and may be towed.

When picking up arriving travelers, plan to park in one of the Airport's nearby short-term lots. From there, meet your arriving party at a pre-designated location, such as the Baggage Claim areas.
