Disabled Parking

91 dedicated disabled spaces right by Guadalajara Airport terminals

Disabled Parking at Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) sits in the official short-term lot, with 91 marked spaces reserved for passengers with reduced mobility. These bays are closer to the walkways that lead toward Terminals 1 and 2 than standard spots, cutting down the time you spend moving between the car and the terminal doors.

The facility forms part of GDL’s 24-hour secured parking operation, which covers both short-term and long-term areas around Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Security staff patrols run continuously, and access gates stay monitored all night, so late arrivals on the last Volaris or early check-ins for Aeroméxico still park under the same protection.

The disabled spaces plug into the airport’s intelligent guidance system, the one with overhead sensors and digital boards that count free spots in real time. Follow the illuminated signs at the entrance to the official parking to reach the short-term section, then look for the wheelchair symbol and blue markings on the floor and posts as you circle toward the closer rows.

Payment for Disabled Parking runs through the same automated pay stations used for all official lots, with machines posted near the main pedestrian exits and inside the terminal access corridors. The airport currently prices short-term parking by the hour, so Disabled Parking works best for drop-offs, pick-ups, and same-day trips rather than week-long stays.

Tip: arrive 15–20 minutes earlier than usual at peak times like Sunday evenings, as those 91 reserved disabled spaces can fill quickly when multiple flights land within the same 30–40 minute window.
