How Much Does George Bush Intercontinental Airport Parking Cost?

IAH parking rates vary widely by lot type. Terminal garages charge $5 for the first hour with a $25/day maximum, per official Houston Airport System published rates. The airport's ecopark lots are a cheaper on-site option at $10/day uncovered and $12/day covered. The two off-airport lots Triply sells run about $6/day to $7/day.

For a week-long trip, the gap adds up. Hilton Garden Inn Houston/Bush comes to about $39 for 7 days (at its exact rate of $5.59/day) and Comfort Suites Houston Bush Airport to about $51. The same week in a terminal garage is $175 ($25/day x 7), and ecopark uncovered is $70. With tax, 7 nights check out at $48.18 at Hilton Garden Inn and $62.99 at Comfort Suites, still more than $110 below the garage. Against ecopark uncovered, the Comfort Suites saving is small.

Which IAH Parking Lot Is Closest to My Terminal?

The right parking lot depends entirely on your terminal. IAH has five terminals — A, B, C, D, and E — and each garage serves specific terminals directly. Using the wrong garage adds unnecessary walking time, especially with luggage.

Here's the official terminal-to-garage mapping, per Houston Airport System data:

• Terminal A/B Garage — Serves Terminals A and B. Good for Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, and United Airlines flights.
• Terminal C Garage — Serves Terminal C. United Airlines and United Express passengers should use this garage.
• Terminal D/E Garage — Serves Terminals D and E. Best for international flights (Air France, British Airways, Emirates, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and more) and additional United flights.

Need to reach a different terminal after parking? IAH's free Skyway (automated people mover, inside security) and Subway (underground train, outside security) connect all five terminals 24/7. Terminal B passengers should note a key 2026 change: the Terminal B ticketing lobby is closed through late 2026 due to United Airlines' $2.6 billion expansion. All Terminal B check-in now happens at Terminal C — build extra time into your plan.

Both off-airport lots Triply sells sit on John F Kennedy Blvd, 3.3 to 3.4 miles from the airport, and run a shuttle to IAH. Check shuttle hours before you book, because they differ by lot.

How Do You Make a George Bush Intercontinental Airport Parking Reservation?

Reserving IAH parking takes less than five minutes online. You have two main paths: book on-airport parking through the airport's official site, or book one of the two off-airport lots Triply sells.

Booking On-Airport Parking (ecopark or Terminal Garage)

1. Go to fly2houston.com/iah/parking (on-airport parking is booked with the airport, not through Triply)
2. Select your parking type (terminal garage, ecopark, or valet)
3. Enter your arrival and departure dates
4. Pay online to reserve your spot; ecopark2 is reservation-only, and the airport accepts cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay but not cash
5. Save your confirmation

Booking Off-Airport Parking

1. Visit Triply's IAH parking search and compare the two off-airport lots side by side
2. Check price, distance and shuttle hours for each lot
3. Select your lot and enter travel dates
4. Complete payment; cancellation is free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
5. Follow the lot's check-in steps: at Hilton Garden Inn, check in on arrival and allow time to process your booking; at Comfort Suites, check in at the hotel front desk before you park

Booking ahead matters most during peak travel. IAH is one of the busiest airports in the U.S., and lots can fill up during Thanksgiving, spring break, and summer travel surges. Reserving ahead holds your spot at the rate you booked, and ecopark2 now takes reservations only.

What Are the Best Off-Airport Parking Options Near IAH?

Triply sells two off-airport lots near IAH in 2026, both hotels on John F Kennedy Blvd, listed 3.3 to 3.4 miles from the airport. Both come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in. Their shuttles differ, so read the hours below before you book.

• Hilton Garden Inn Houston/Bush: about $6/day. 15400 John F Kennedy Blvd, listed 3.4 miles from IAH. The shuttle is free with online purchase and runs every 30 minutes from 4:30 AM to 10 PM, with no shuttle from 10 PM to 4:30 AM. Check in on arrival, allow time to process your booking, and arrive well before the 2-hours-before-flight window. Full-size vans, pickup trucks and large SUVs park at no extra charge, and no room is needed. The hotel is not liable for damage or theft, so don't leave valuables in the car.
• Comfort Suites Houston Bush Airport: about $7/day. 15555 John F Kennedy Blvd, listed 3.3 miles from IAH. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 5 AM to 11:30 AM, not at all from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, on demand from 3 PM to 11:30 PM, and not at all from 11:30 PM to 5 AM. You can book outside shuttle hours but must take Uber or Lyft to and from the terminal. Check in at the front desk before you park; on return, call (281) 666-9250 and go to the ground transportation area. Parking customers can use the hotel Wi-Fi and restrooms.

Both lots are hotels, but Triply sells them as parking only, with no rooms or park-sleep-fly packages. For more on hotels near George Bush Intercontinental, see our IAH airport hotel parking guide.

Is On-Airport or Off-Airport Parking Better at George Bush Intercontinental?

Both options work well — the right choice depends on your priorities. Here's a direct side-by-side comparison based on current IAH rates and services.

On-Airport IAH Parking

• Pros: No shuttle wait needed for terminal garages; direct access via Skyway or Subway; ecopark shuttles run 24/7 about every 10 minutes; valet drops you at the curb
• Cons: Terminal garages cost $25/day; valet is $30/day; ecopark is $10/day uncovered or $12/day covered; cash is not accepted
• Best for: Short trips (1 to 2 days), travelers who want the fastest terminal access, or anyone willing to pay more for convenience

Off-Airport IAH Parking

• Pros: Rates start at about $6/day, about 78% less per day than the $25 terminal garages (Comfort Suites at about $7/day is about 71% less); Hilton Garden Inn's shuttle is free; free cancellation up to 24 hours before check-in
• Cons: Adds shuttle time each way; Hilton Garden Inn's shuttle stops from 10 PM to 4:30 AM and Comfort Suites has no shuttle from 11:30 AM to 3 PM or overnight; requires advance booking
• Best for: Trips of 3+ days, budget-conscious travelers, and anyone who pre-books and flies at shuttle-friendly times

For most travelers staying more than two days, an off-airport lot costs far less than the terminal garages, as long as your flight times fit the shuttle hours. Our breakdown of IAH long-term parking rates covers longer trips in more detail.

What Shuttle Services Are Available from IAH Parking Lots?

Shuttle service differs a lot from lot to lot, and that matters when you're racing to make a flight. Hilton Garden Inn's shuttle is free with online purchase; Comfort Suites' listing doesn't say its shuttle is free, and it has gaps in service.

• Hilton Garden Inn Houston/Bush: Free with online purchase. Every 30 minutes from 4:30 AM to 10 PM, with no shuttle from 10 PM to 4:30 AM.
• Comfort Suites Houston Bush Airport: Every 30 minutes from 5 AM to 11:30 AM, none from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, on demand from 3 PM to 11:30 PM, none from 11:30 PM to 5 AM. Outside those hours, arrange your own ride. On return, call the front desk at (281) 666-9250.
• IAH ecopark: The airport's shuttles run 24/7 about every 10 minutes, about 10 minutes to the terminal. One route serves Terminal A, the other Terminals C, D and E.

On-airport, the free Skyway people mover (inside security) and Subway train (outside security) connect all five terminals 24/7 at no cost. Terminal garage users don't need a shuttle at all — they walk directly into their terminal via covered walkway. Before you drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — Houston traffic on I-69 and Beltway 8 can add 20+ minutes to your drive, especially during morning rush hours.

How Can You Save Money on Your George Bush Intercontinental Airport Parking Reservation?

Saving on IAH parking comes down to five simple strategies. Use them together and an off-airport lot can cost far less than the $25/day terminal garages.

1. Book in advance. Reserving holds your spot at peak times, and ecopark2 is reservation-only. The airport recommends its online Reserve and Save booking but posts no discounted rate, so check the price at checkout.
2. Choose off-airport for trips of 3+ days. At about $6/day versus $25/day, Hilton Garden Inn saves you about $90 or more on a 5-day trip compared with a terminal garage, before tax.
3. Match the lot to your flight times. Hilton Garden Inn is the lowest rate but its shuttle stops from 10 PM to 4:30 AM. Comfort Suites is about $7/day, and its shuttle has gaps from 11:30 AM to 3 PM and overnight.
4. Compare both lots before you book. Check price, distance and shuttle hours for Hilton Garden Inn and Comfort Suites on Triply, since the cheaper lot is not always the better fit for your flight.
5. Use TSA PreCheck to save time, not just money. Faster security means you can arrive a bit later, giving you more flexibility in your parking choice. TSA PreCheck enrollment is $78 for five years and pays for itself quickly.

2026 Construction at IAH: What Parking Travelers Need to Know

IAH is in the middle of two major construction projects that affect how you navigate the airport — though no parking closures are expected in 2026, per official Houston Airport System updates.

The most important change: Terminal B's ticketing lobby is closed through late 2026 as part of United Airlines' $2.6 billion, 765,000 sq ft Terminal B expansion — the largest single-airline terminal project in the U.S. All Terminal B passengers must check in at Terminal C and take the Skyway to their gates. Build at least 15 extra minutes into your airport arrival time if you're flying United out of Terminal B.

The separate $1.46 billion Terminal Redevelopment Program is wrapping up. The Terminal D-West Pier opened in October 2024, adding six wide-body gates and 16 new dining and shopping options. Terminal E now has its own ticketing lobby (opened February 2025), so United Express passengers no longer need to check in at Terminal C for Terminal E flights. The IAH redevelopment page has the latest construction updates if you want to check before your trip.

Is There EV Charging at IAH Parking Facilities?

On-airport, yes. Charging is free at ecopark and ecopark2, and IAH has dedicated EV charging stations in the terminal parking areas; details are posted on the official IAH EV charging page. Neither of the two off-airport lots Triply sells lists EV charging.

If you drive an EV and want to charge while you travel, the airport's own lots are the better fit. Blink charging is free at ecopark (row 10 on the south side of the tower) and at ecopark2 (near the ecopark2 office); use a Blink InCard or the smartphone QR code.
