Official AUS parking rates and current availability (opens in a new tab)
Airport rates and operating notices may change. These published terminal-lot rates are a comparison reference, not an off-airport booking quote. Check taxes, fees, billing periods and the final total on the booking you choose.
For a short visit, read the incremental tariff as well as the daily maximum. Walking to the terminal may be easier than arranging an off-airport transfer when you only need to meet a passenger.
Wait for your passenger in the right place
Use the official cell phone waiting area for an attended wait while a passenger collects bags, then follow current signs to the terminal pickup area. If you need to enter the building, choose a suitable paid parking option.
Official cell phone waiting area information (opens in a new tab)
Ask the passenger to contact you after collecting checked baggage and reaching the designated pickup point. An arrival time is not the time a passenger is ready outside. Follow lane restrictions and staff directions.
Use the current terminal information
All commercial flights use Barbara Jordan Terminal. Allegiant and Frontier moved there when the South Terminal closed on April 1, 2026.

Check airline instructions and the airport’s current accessibility information before traveling. If you need to accompany a traveler inside, plan a parking space and the walking route rather than relying on curbside waiting.
Accessible parking and transfers
Check the official airport parking guidance for accessible spaces, signs and terminal access. If you book an off-airport lot, confirm the transfer vehicle separately: an accessible parking space does not establish that the shuttle can carry a wheelchair.
