Overflow/Cell Phone Lot

Arriving early for FCA pickup? Use the Overflow/Cell Phone Lot.

This remote Overflow/Cell Phone Lot sits about 0.3 miles from the Glacier Park International Airport terminal, so you’re close without joining the curb chaos. It works well as a staging spot in peak summer when arrivals stack up and curbside space gets tight.

Parking here is free for short waits while you track an incoming flight, but posted rates kick in if you stay: $15.00 per day and $90.00 per week. That pricing matches some long‑term options at larger airports, but FCA regulars mainly treat this as a temporary hold area, not a place to leave the car all week.

The lot’s “remote” tag simply means it’s off the main terminal loop, roughly a 2–3 minute drive from the drop-off and pickup lanes over that 0.3‑mile stretch. There’s no mention of a dedicated shuttle in airport materials, so plan on driving yourself to the terminal once your passenger texts that they’re at baggage claim.

Think of this as overflow for busy periods and a cell phone lot first, long‑term parking second. The posted weekly rate of $90.00 technically makes extended stays possible, but FCA directs true long‑term users toward the main lots closer to the terminal when space is available.

Tip: In summer, aim to pull into the Overflow/Cell Phone Lot 15–20 minutes before scheduled arrival, watch your airline’s app, and only head to the terminal loop once the flight shows “arrived” and your pickup is ready at the curb.
