3-minute walk from Terminal 1, but only if you’re renting
The Rental Car Lot at Hector International Airport sits on-airport, about a 3-minute walk from Terminal 1, and functions strictly as a rental facility, not general parking. It’s tied to the rental counters and contracts, so you can’t just park your own car there and pay a daily rate like you would in the main lots.
Rates track your rental agreement, not a posted daily price like the /5 structure in the standard on-site parking. If you’re comparing costs, assume you’ll pay more here than in long-term parking for the same 24-hour span, which is typical at a smaller field like FAR with limited off-airport competition.
AirportParkingReservations and Book2Park both show only the official on-airport parking options at FAR and list no rental-car-linked park-and-ride products, which confirms this lot is reserved for customers holding rental contracts. That means no leaving a personal vehicle here while you fly out for 3 days, and no “park free with rental” hacks on departure.
Access is simple: walk out from Terminal 1 baggage claim and follow the rental car signs; the actual cars sit just a few hundred feet from the doors, so you skip any shuttle wait. That 3-minute walk is the whole pitch here for business travelers who care about shaving 10–15 minutes off each end of a short trip.
Tip: If you’re flying out of FAR and not picking up a rental car the same day, use the official long-term or economy lots instead; this Rental Car Lot is policed for contract vehicles, not casual airport parking.
