Hourly Parking Garage

Five-minute walk, shortest self-park option at CHS

The Hourly Parking Garage sits directly next to the Main terminal at Charleston International, giving you roughly a 5-minute walk from car to check-in. This is the closest self-park you’ll get at CHS, so it fits quick business trips, drop-offs that might run long, or same-day returns where time matters more than price.

Daily max here runs about $21, which lines up with the upper end of CHS parking rates (the airport lists facilities between $13 and $25 per day). It’s a short-stay setup, so you’re paying a premium for location compared with the economy lots, but you shave 10–20 minutes off your airport routine by skipping the shuttle entirely.

The structure has two covered floors and an open-air third floor, all a short walk from the Main terminal doors. If you care about keeping the car out of the weather, aim for levels 1 or 2; in busy afternoon banks, those covered spots fill first, with spillover up to the exposed roof.

Height clearance is 7 feet 11 inches, so taller pickups with racks or lifted SUVs need a quick measurement before pulling in. ADA parking spaces sit on the second floor, which still keeps the terminal walk at around 5 minutes and avoids dealing with shuttles or long curbside drop-offs.

CHS labels this as “Hourly,” but it works fine for an overnight or a one- to two-day trip if you’re okay with the $21/day cap. The move: park here for short stays, and if your trip creeps beyond three days, switch to a longer-term or economy lot to keep total cost in check.
