Valet Parking

$25 per day buys you the closest parking CHS offers.

Valet Parking at Charleston International sits right next to the Main terminal, so drop-off happens a short walk from the check-in counters and TSA lines. You pull up, hand over the keys, and skip the hunt for a space in the garage or surface lots. Daily rate is a flat $25, which is only a bit higher than the terminal garage for cutting out both the search and the walk with bags.

The airport lists the valet service booth hours as 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., which covers most early-morning departures and late-evening arrivals at CHS. The valet pick-up counter runs 24/7, so even if your return flight lands after 10 p.m. or gets delayed past midnight, you can still retrieve your car. This setup works well for tight same-day turns or first-wave departures before 6:00 a.m.

Official info does not confirm any EV charging, so assume no guaranteed charging is included with the $25 daily valet rate until CHS publishes details. The airport also doesn’t publish average wait times for retrieving cars, so build in an extra 10–15 minutes on return until you know how fast they move at your usual arrival time. If timing is critical, call the valet number from baggage claim and have the ticket ready.

Watch out for the 8:00 p.m. booth cutoff; if you plan to depart on a last-bank flight that leaves close to 9:30–10:00 p.m., verify same-day drop-off hours before you drive out. Since self-park in the garage and surface lots usually has more published detail, keep valet as the premium option when you value a curbside handoff more than saving a few dollars per day.

Tip: Keep your claim ticket in a phone photo and call the valet stand as soon as your aircraft’s door opens; by the time you reach the 24/7 pick-up counter near the Main terminal exit, your car is more likely to be waiting.
