Short-Term Parking

Daily max at $8 with a 3-minute walk

Short-Term Parking at CRW sits right by the Main Terminal, ground level, with about a 3-minute walk to the doors. It’s on-site, no shuttle, no waiting around in West Virginia weather. For quick business runs to Charleston or same-day pickups, this is the closest you’ll park without pulling into the active curb.

The posted daily max runs about $8, which undercuts the airport’s own $15 daily rate for the standard hourly option. If you’re gone 24–36 hours, that difference adds up fast. Pull a ticket at the entrance, park in any open signed short-term section, and pay at exit; you don’t mess with online prepay or third-party QR codes here.

This lot is airport-operated, on the terminal side of Yeager Boulevard, so you stay within the secure airport footprint the entire time. Because CRW is a single Main Terminal operation, you’re walking the same few minutes to Allegiant, American, Delta, Spirit, or United check-in. Luggage stays in your hand the whole way; carts are usually available by the entrance doors if you’re juggling multiple bags.

There’s no big pattern of complaints tied specifically to Short-Term Parking at CRW; traffic volumes are low enough that circling for a spot isn’t usually a thing. Lighting is standard for a small field, with poles spaced through the lot, and lines are clearly painted. Short stays under a full day still fall under the same area, with per-hour rates stepping up to that $8 daily cap.

Practical tip: If your trip is under two days or you’re picking up someone on a delayed late-night flight, just pull into Short-Term, pay the $8 or less, and skip driving loops around the terminal curb.
