Long-Term Parking Lot

$12/day and a 3‑minute walk: this is AVL’s default lot

The Long-Term Parking Lot at Asheville (Terminal 1) runs $3/hour with a $12 daily max and sits close enough that most people just walk the 3 minutes to the terminal doors. It’s the on-airport middle ground: same daily rate as AVL’s shuttle lots, but you usually skip the shuttle entirely and roll your bag straight to check-in.

This Long-Term/Daily lot is open-air, signed as “Daily Lot,” and priced at a flat $12 per 24 hours, seven days a week. Handicapped spaces are mixed into the same rows and still charged at the full Daily rate, with no posted discount or free-parking window, so plan on the same $12/day if you’re leaving a car for several nights.

Payment in this lot is credit-card-only at the exit gates; there’s no cash lane and no mention of online prepay or app discounts. If you’re used to ATL-style parking with 10+ options, note that AVL’s on-airport choices are basically this Daily/Long-Term lot plus a couple of shuttle lots at the same $12/day rate, so drive-up pricing is simple but not super flexible.

There’s one rule to keep an eye on: leave a car over 30 days and AVL can treat it as abandoned. Regulars who park here for longer trips call the posted LAZ Parking phone number ahead of time, give dates and plate info, then leave the car in the Daily/Long-Term rows for 31+ days without drama.

Tip: Flying out for a week or two? Skip hunting for off-airport deals and just budget the $12/day here; build 10 extra minutes into your arrival, park in the Long-Term lot, and walk the 3 minutes to security.
