What Is the Address of Reagan National Airport Parking?

The main address for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is 1 Aviation Circle, Arlington, VA 22202. This is the address used on the airport's official signage and recognized by most GPS and mapping apps. Entering this address will route you to the airport's main access roads, where signs direct you to each parking facility.

For turn-by-turn accuracy, use the specific approach below based on which lot you need. The airport sits just off the George Washington Memorial Parkway in Arlington, Virginia — not in Washington, D.C. itself. Many first-time visitors are surprised the address is in Virginia. The airport is managed by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA).

If your GPS app loses signal near the Potomac River bridges, switch to offline maps before you leave. You can also check official directions on flyreagan.com before you travel. Before hitting the highway, it's smart to check real-time traffic on Waze — the George Washington Memorial Parkway and I-395 can back up fast during rush hour.

Where Are the Parking Garages at Reagan Airport (DCA)?

Reagan National Airport has three on-airport parking facilities, each entered from VA-233 (Airport Access Road) or via U.S. Route 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway). Follow the green parking signs after you exit the main road — they split traffic toward each facility clearly.

Parking 1 is the closest garage to Terminal 1. If you fly Southwest, Frontier, or Air Canada Express, this is your garage. Parking 2 connects directly to Terminal 2, covering American Airlines, Delta, United, Alaska, and JetBlue. Both garages offer a covered walkway to their respective terminals — no shuttle needed. Total on-airport capacity is 8,500 vehicles across all facilities, per MWAA data.

For a full breakdown of which garage matches which airline, see our guide to DCA airport terminal parking, which maps every concourse to the correct facility.

How Do You Get from the Parking Garage to Your Terminal at DCA?

Getting from the garage to your gate at DCA is straightforward. Each garage connects to its terminal differently.

• Parking 1 → Terminal 1: Walk directly through the covered pedestrian walkway — about 3-5 minutes on foot
• Parking 2 → Terminal 2: Walk through the covered bridge connection — about 5 minutes to the main terminal hall
• Economy Lot → Both terminals: Take the free Economy Lot shuttle — it stops at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2

The Economy Lot shuttle runs continuously during normal operating hours. Build in extra time for the shuttle, especially during busy travel periods. Once inside the terminal, follow signs to your specific concourse. If you have TSA PreCheck, security lines move faster — worth enrolling before your trip if you fly frequently from DCA.

What Are the Best Off-Airport Parking Options Near Reagan National Airport?

Off-airport hotel lots near DCA offer real savings — especially for trips longer than two days. All nine verified lots below include a free shuttle to the airport. Prices are based on current Triply rates (verified April 2026).

Most of these hotels are in Crystal City or Pentagon City — both a short drive from the airport. All are also within walking distance of the Crystal City Metro station, which connects to DCA via the Yellow Line in about 10 minutes. This gives you a Metro backup if your shuttle's schedule doesn't match your flight time. Hotel shuttles are not 24/7 — if you have an early morning or late-night flight, double-check hours before booking.

Parking at the Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria at $8.50/day saves you over 75% compared to Parking 1's $35/day max. For a five-night trip, that's roughly $42 versus $175. If you want to compare DCA hotel parking packages with overnight stay options, our DCA airport parking hotel guide covers park-sleep-fly deals in detail.

Is There a Shuttle Between Reagan Airport Parking and the Terminals?

Yes — the Economy Lot has its own dedicated free shuttle to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Parking 1 and Parking 2 connect directly to their terminals via enclosed walkways, so no shuttle is needed from those garages.

For off-airport hotel lots, all nine verified lots include a complimentary shuttle to DCA. Shuttle frequency and hours vary by property. The Crystal Gateway Marriott and The Parking Spot both run every 30 minutes starting at 5:00 AM — the earliest of any hotel shuttle on the list. The Sheraton Pentagon City runs hourly from 6:00 AM to 11:15 PM. If your flight departs before 6:00 AM, plan to use Metro or rideshare as a backup.

How Does the Economy Lot Construction Affect Parking at DCA in 2026?

The Economy Lot is currently under active construction as part of a $40 million parking deck project. A new 3-story parking deck is being built directly on top of the existing lot. Phase 1 added 939 spaces in February 2026. Phase 2 adds 1,230 more spaces by May 2026, per MWAA construction updates.

During construction, up to 1,100 of the Economy Lot's 2,680 spaces are unavailable — a reduction of roughly 40%. This means the lot fills earlier than usual, especially on weekday mornings and holiday weekends. Pre-booking your space in advance is strongly recommended. The Cell Phone Lot is also temporarily closed during construction. Use the first 60 free minutes in Parking 1 or Parking 2 for passenger pickups instead.

For more on how construction affects your long-term parking options and what alternatives exist, see our Reagan airport long-term parking guide. You can also review official updates at the Economy Lot construction page on flyreagan.com.
