IAH Parking: Rates, ecopark Lots, Garages and Cell Lot

These are the daily rates on the official IAH parking page as of October 9, 2026. Rates change, so confirm on fly2houston.com/iah/parking before you book.

• Terminals A and B garage: $25 a day
• Terminals C, D and E garage: $25 a day
• ecopark covered: $12 a day
• ecopark uncovered: $10 a day
• ecopark2 covered: $12 a day

Staying only a few hours? An airport how-to-park page gives terminal garage hourly pricing: $1 for 0 to 10 minutes, $5 for 11 minutes to 1 hour, then $2.50 for every extra 30 minutes, up to the $25 daily maximum. The page's summary says tax is included.

The ecopark rate page lists pre-tax hourly figures: ecopark 0 to 3 hours is $5.54 uncovered and $7.39 covered, and ecopark2 is $6.47 for 0 to 3 hours and $8.31 for 3 to 24 hours. Those figures do not match the $10 and $12 daily rates, so check the total at checkout when you reserve.

The airport says the best way to guarantee a spot is to reserve. Once garage capacity reaches 85%, only pre-booked reservations may park. The parking FAQ says you can book up until you reach the entrance, but the Parking Plus booking page says bookings must be made at least 2 hours before arrival, so book ahead.

The airport's availability panel showed every lot as Reservations Only on October 9, 2026. ecopark2 has been reservation only since June 1, 2026, with no drive-up entry. Check the live status page or call 281-233-1786 for the latest.

Two terminal garage groups serve IAH: Terminals A and B, and Terminals C, D and E. Both remain open during the Terminal B lobby closure. If you park in the A/B garage, a United Airlines express shuttle takes you to your terminal.

Flying international from Terminal E? The airport says you can park in the C/D/E garage, or park in the A/B garage and take the Subway directly to Terminal E.

Garages accept vehicles up to 6 feet 7 inches tall. Call 281-233-1786 to check an oversized vehicle.

ecopark (16152 John F. Kennedy Boulevard) and ecopark2 (5021 Will Clayton Parkway) are the budget lots. Free shuttles run 24 hours a day, about every 10 minutes. The shuttle leaves 10 minutes after the first passenger boards and takes about 10 minutes to reach a terminal. One shuttle serves Terminal A and the other serves Terminals C, D and E. Both lots take oversized vehicles up to 13 feet 6 inches tall, such as campers and large trucks, through the main entrances.

Write down your row and space, and keep the location slip the driver gives you. On return, the driver can take you straight to your car.

Which door? The airport does not list ecopark shuttle doors separately, so follow the Parking Shuttles signs after baggage claim. For reference, its off-airport parking shuttle page, written for private lots, lists these doors. Pickup: Terminal A door A-114, Terminal C door C-104, Terminal D door D-104 and Terminal E door E-203. Drop-off: Terminal A door A-114, Terminal C door C-103, Terminal D door D-102 (foreign flag international airlines) and Terminal E door E-201 (United upper level).

Valet is $30 for 0 to 24 hours, tax included. It is in the Terminal A street level area, the Terminal C level 4 Blue Garage and the Terminal E Purple Garage. You get a free bottle of water and covered parking, and car washes are available.

Valet booth phones: Terminal A 281-233-3267, Terminal C 281-233-3280, Terminals D and E 281-233-3281.

IAH has three free cell phone lots, open 24 hours. The driver must stay with the vehicle.
