Economy Lot

$13 per day is the draw here if you’re parking a week.

The Economy Lot sits about 0.3 miles from the Main terminal at Charleston International, so it’s a remote setup, not walk-up parking. The trade is simple: more distance and shuttle time, lower daily rate compared with the garages right by the terminal.

Figure on a 5-minute shuttle ride from the Economy Lot to the terminal once you’re on the bus. Airport info pegs the shuttle frequency at roughly every 5 minutes in normal operating hours, which keeps wait times reasonable at peak morning and late-afternoon banks.

The posted daily rate is about $13 per day, which starts to add up nicely in your favor on trips of 4–7 days or more. For shorter weekend runs of 1–2 days, the savings over closer on-airport options shrink, so factor that against the shuttle time and the extra step versus pulling straight into a garage.

Remote means you’re not walking that 0.3-mile stretch with bags along airport roads; you’re committing to the shuttle both outbound and inbound. That’s fine on a calm Tuesday at 2 p.m., less fun if your flight lands late and you’re tired and still need that 5-minute ride back to the car.

Third-party sites near CHS sometimes flash rates like $4.95 per day with shuttles running every 30 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Those are separate off-airport lots, not the official Economy Lot, so double-check you’re booking the right place before you click through.

Pro tip: add an extra 20 minutes to your normal airport arrival time to cover parking, shuttle wait, and the 5-minute ride from the Economy Lot to the Main terminal without stress.
