Accessible Parking

State-issued disability placards at AMA don’t change the price.

Accessible Parking at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (AMA) follows standard Texas rules: if you have a state-issued disability placard or plate, you can use the marked accessible spaces but you still pay the posted lot rate. The airport’s own parking page spells this out clearly, so don’t plan on a discount just because you’re in an accessible stall.

The accessible spaces sit next to the terminal in the main parking area, which cuts down the push or walk distance to the doors of Terminal 1. These stalls are mixed into the regular rows instead of being a separate “handicap lot,” so you park in the same general section your traveling companions would use, just in the signed blue spaces by the closest sidewalk ramps.

Rates match the standard AMA parking prices listed for the general lots; there’s no special daily cap for accessible vehicles and no free-hours carveout for disability placards. If you’re budgeting, assume you’ll pay the same per-day charge shown on the general parking boards as you pull into the next-to-terminal lot, and keep your payment method handy at the exit gate.

Markings follow the usual Texas setup: blue-painted accessible symbols on the asphalt, upright handicap signs, and striped access aisles next to many of the spaces for ramp or lift clearance. Those aisles sit closest to the terminal-side curb, so if you need extra room for a side-entry van, aim for the first few rows by the front of the next-to-terminal section rather than the back of the lot.

Practical tip: AMA doesn’t offer a separate accessible product, so treat this like standard parking next to the terminal and build in a few extra minutes in case you need to circle once or twice for an open blue-marked space during peak morning and evening bank times.
