Overflow Lot

$13 per day keeps the Overflow Lot as CHS’s pressure valve

This is Charleston International’s remote Overflow Lot, used when the closer Daily and Garage options start filling up. Daily rate runs $13, which usually undercuts the Garage while keeping you on airport property. It sits roughly 0.5 miles from the Main terminal, so you’re not walking this stretch with luggage in August humidity.

Shuttles run every 5 minutes, and the ride itself is about a 5‑minute hop to the Main terminal doors. That puts your car-to-curb timing in the 10–15 minute range once you factor in loading. It’s a true remote setup: don’t plan to stroll back to your car between flights; plan around the shuttle clock instead.

Official CHS parking info shows real-time occupancy across airport lots, so this Overflow Lot usually opens only when closer options are near capacity. That dynamic setup means you might only see this lot in play on peak days, like Friday mornings or holiday Sundays. When the Garage and Daily signs flip to “Full,” this is often the next stop at 0.5 miles out.

Watch the airport’s parking page or roadside electronic signs for real-time stall counts before you commit; CHS publishes live numbers for its facilities, and that helps you avoid circling the loop. If you see the Daily and Garage creeping toward full while the Overflow Lot still shows space, just head straight to Overflow at the $13 rate and skip the hunt near the terminal.

Pro tip: build in an extra 20 minutes on peak mornings to cover the shuttle wait, the 5‑minute ride, and a possible line at the Main terminal ticketing counters.
