Short-Term Garage

$30 a day buys you the absolute closest spot to BOI’s Main Terminal

Short-Term Garage sits directly across from Boise’s Main Terminal doors, so you’re inside the building in roughly 1–3 minutes, even with a rollaboard. This is the airport’s premium option: the posted daily rate is $30, higher than Long-Term Surface or Economy. If you’re dropping in for a same-day trip or a quick overnight, that tradeoff is time saved versus a lower per-day price farther out.

The Short-Term Garage operates 24/7, matching the airport’s flight schedule, so late-night arrivals and early-morning departures aren’t a problem. You pull a ticket at the entrance gate, park in any open stall on your level, then pay the displayed rate on exit. Signage from the airport loop road calls it “Short-Term Garage,” and you’ll see the daily max of $30 posted on the rate board as you enter.

Accessible parking is marked in multiple spots on each garage level, and the airport’s policy cuts the cost down to the Long-Term Surface rate for eligible drivers, even if you park in Short-Term. Elevators connect each parking level directly to the pedestrian bridge that leads into the Main Terminal ticketing area. That elevator-plus-bridge combo trims your walk, especially if you’re rolling bags or using mobility aids.

Short-Term is currently the most expensive published parking product on Boise’s rate sheet, so it adds up fast on trips longer than 48–72 hours. There’s no published loyalty program or prepay discount, so you pay the same rate whether you stay one day or a week. Tip: if your trip runs more than three days, compare the total against Long-Term Surface at the posted rate before you pull a ticket here.
