Indianapolis Airport Parking Garage Rates

Hourly Parking is $2 per half hour, and Daily Parking is $23 per day.

Multi-day totals assume one $23 charge per 24 hours, which is how the airport's fee calculator counts. The airport publishes no weekly rate. Rates are from the official Terminal Garage page. The $23 daily rate has applied since June 2024.

Hourly or Daily: Short-Term Parking in the Garage

Use the Hourly section for visits under about 5 hours and Daily Parking for anything longer.

The airport defines short-term parking as four hours or less and recommends Hourly Parking for meeting passengers inside the terminal. At $4 an hour, Hourly passes the $23 Daily rate at 6 hours, so if you might stay longer, park in a Daily level instead. Hourly Parking earns parkIND Plus points but can't be redeemed for a free day.

Where the Garage Is and How to Reach the Terminal

The garage sits directly in front of the terminal, and you walk in over the Pedestrian Bridge on Level 3.

• Levels: Daily Parking is on Levels 2 to 5. Hourly Parking and valet are on Level 3.
• Ramps: the airport map shows a helix ramp to Levels 2 to 5 and a direct ramp to Levels 2 and 3.
• Level 1: the Ground Transportation Center, rental car counters and returns, and the Uber and Lyft pick-up area.
• Finding your car: note your floor, row and section from the red and green signs.

Height Clearance and Covered Parking

The Terminal Garage clears vehicles up to 8 feet 2 inches, and most of it is covered.

The airport describes three floors of covered parking with an open-air top level, Level 5. If your vehicle is taller than 8 feet 2 inches, the airport says to use the outdoor Economy Lot or Park & Walk lot instead.

EV Charging in the Garage

EV charging is free in the garage, with 75 charging spaces on Levels 3, 4 and 5.

DC fast chargers are for drivers parking under 4 hours and actively charging; standard chargers are for longer stays. Charging is first come, first served and can't be reserved in Daily Parking, but you still pay the normal parking rate. Valet guarantees a charge if you ask at check-in; the airport's EV charging page has the details.

Garage Availability and Status

Garage levels can fill, so check the airport's live count before you drive.

The airport's available parking spaces page shows open spaces level by level, plus the Hourly section, valet, Park & Walk and the Economy Lot. If your level is full, the Economy Lot has nearly 8,000 spaces and a shuttle every 5 to 7 minutes. For a car problem in the garage, the Parking Supervisor at 317-487-5017 will help find your car, inflate a tire or jump-start it for free.
