Parking Garage

Covered parking right next to Terminal 1 for $14/day

The Parking Garage at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport sits directly beside the Terminal 1 doors, so you’re rolling your bag maybe a minute or two from car to check-in. Daily max runs $14, with short stays at $2 per 30 minutes, so it’s priced as the premium option compared with the cheaper uncovered lots behind it.

This is long-stay, fully covered parking with roughly 650 spaces, making it the only sheltered choice at AMA when Amarillo wind, hail, or summer sun gets aggressive. Locals often skip it on clear days and head to the open lot behind the garage, but during storms or icy mornings this structure fills fast and can look close to full around the big holiday rush.

The City of Amarillo lists the official garage rate at $14/day, which undercuts some older third‑party guides that still quote $17/day for AMA’s covered parking. If you’re comparing costs against off-airport options for a three or four day trip, that difference adds up quickly, especially when you factor in not paying for a shuttle ride.

Laz Parking manages the garage on site, not airport staff, so if you come back to a dead battery or a ticket issue, you’re dealing with Laz attendants. Regulars report using the uncovered lot behind the garage even on late‑night arrivals, so the garage is more of a weather or short-trip splurge than the default choice.

Tip: On peak holidays or during storm forecasts, aim to arrive 20–30 minutes earlier than usual in case the 650 covered spots start tightening up and you need to bail out to the open lot behind the structure.
