Accessible Parking

$17/day gets you accessible parking in any BHM lot

At Birmingham-Shuttlesworth (Main terminal), accessible parking isn’t a separate lot; you use the same deck or economy options at the standard $17/day rate, paying by the hour at $2 until you hit the daily cap. The key difference is proximity to elevators, curb access, and the ability to call for help, not a special price or brand name.

The easiest setup is the parking deck next to the terminal, with oversize and many van-accessible spaces on Level 1 and an 8’2" clearance clearly posted. You walk or roll straight into the Main terminal from the deck, so you’re talking just a few minutes from car to check-in counters if you’re parked on the lower levels.

BHM’s oversize and accessible areas in the deck bill at $2 per hour and top out at $17 per calendar day, the same as regular deck stalls, so you don’t pay extra for a taller bay or widened access aisle. If you drive a high-roof van or SUV with a cargo box, double-check that 8’2" figure before pulling in so you’re not stuck backing out of the entrance.

For assistance, the airport tells drivers to use the yellow call boxes in the deck or phone the Birmingham Airport Authority directly; people with limited mobility mention using these to get help finding a parked car or getting a jump-start instead of calling AAA. Staff also coordinate curbside help from the deck to the Main terminal doors when requested.

Tip: If you need extra space to deploy a ramp, aim for Level 1 of the deck near the elevators with that 8’2" clearance, then snap a photo of the section marker so the call-box team can guide you back to the right spot.
