Main Parking Lot

Flat $6/day, 1-minute walk from the T terminal door

The Main Parking Lot at ALS sits directly in front of Terminal T, with a flat $6.00 per day and a 1‑minute walk to the entrance. There are no tiers, zones, or separate lots to sort out, just one open lot used for both short‑ and long‑term parking.

This is a Scan2Pay SpotHero-style setup: you park in any stall, then either scan the QR code posted in the lot or head to the touchscreen kiosk inside the terminal near baggage claim to enter your license plate and pay. There are no paper tickets, no gated arms, and no pay-on-exit booths; payment happens by plate number only.

Pricing is simple: the county lists a single $6.00 daily rate with no separate short‑term vs long‑term option, so a 30‑minute pickup is charged the same calendar‑day fee as leaving your car overnight. Travel guides call this the de facto long‑term rate, and locals treat the Main Parking Lot as both daily and extended‑stay parking.

Every stall here is uncovered, open-air parking; there is no garage, canopy, or covered row anywhere in the lot. Accessible spaces are clearly marked and placed in the section closest to the terminal doors, so mobility‑limited passengers get the shortest possible walk to T.

There is no free cell phone or waiting lot, which means drivers meeting arrivals either pay the $6 daily rate to enter the main lot or idle on nearby streets and business parking. County guidance also suggests calling airport administration for very long‑term stays to confirm arrangements beyond a standard trip.

Pro tip: snap a photo of your license plate before walking to the kiosk in T so you can punch in the number and pay without jogging back into the lot to check it.
