Long Stay Parking

$7 per day gets you long-term parking right at ALM

Long Stay Parking at Alamogordo White Sands Regional Airport (terminal 1) is basically the same on-airport surface lot used for short-term, just priced for keeping your car multiple days. The lot sits about 0.5 miles from the terminal entrance, and the airport lists it as the long-stay option rather than a separate remote facility.

Rates are simple: $7.00 per day or $40.00 per week, so a full 7-day trip comes out slightly cheaper on the weekly rate than paying daily. There’s no mention of premium, covered, or overflow sections; it’s all one general long-stay area with the same pricing for any standard space.

You’re looking at about a 10-minute walk from the Long Stay Parking lot to the single terminal building at ALM, with no shuttle listed in airport info. Given White Sands Regional’s small size and single-terminal layout, the walk is straightforward, and you’re parked on airport property the whole way, not offsite.

No online reports flag major issues with this lot, and the official airport guide only references “short-term and long-term” parking next to the airport, implying Long Stay Parking is part of that same next-to-terminal setup. With a weekly cap of $40.00, it undercuts many regional airports for a 5–7 day trip.

Tip: Plan your arrival to allow the full 10 minutes to walk from Long Stay Parking to ALM’s terminal 1, plus your normal check-in and security time.
