Accessible Parking

$12 cap and a 1‑minute walk from the Main Terminal

Accessible Parking at Abilene Regional Airport sits in the same surface lot as standard parking, directly next to the Main Terminal, with a walk that’s roughly 1 minute from car door to the ticket counter. Daily max runs $12.00, with the first 30 minutes free, so quick drop-offs or assisting someone to check-in usually cost nothing.

Disabled Veteran, Purple Heart, Prisoner of War, and Medal of Honor license plates qualify for a full parking fee exemption here, but it is not handled at the exit gate. You still pay the posted rate on departure, then request a refund from Airport Administration within 10 calendar days, using your parking receipt and vehicle registration as proof.

Airport staff confirm eligibility before issuing any refund, so build in the fact that there is an administrative lag instead of instant free parking. If you do not follow through with the paperwork inside that 10‑day window, or your plate type is not one of the listed categories, you simply pay the regular $0–$12 daily structure like any other driver in the lot.

The airport notes that drivers with vehicles taller than 10 feet or using oversized accessible vans should contact Airport Operations in advance. This call helps line up a space close to the Main Terminal while keeping you within accessible parking rules, instead of arriving and trying to improvise with a too‑tall rig in standard striping.

Tip: snap a photo of your parking receipt and license plate before you leave the lot, then email or bring that to Airport Administration within a few days so you do not miss the 10‑day refund window.
