Garage Parking

Two-minute covered walk to Terminal 1, priced at $24 a day

Garage Parking at GRR sits directly across from Terminal 1, so you walk indoors from your car to check-in in about 2–3 minutes. It’s the only on-airport option with true walk-up access and no shuttle involved, which is why frequent flyers on FlyerTalk call it an “easy walk back to the terminal.”

Rates run $2 per hour with a $24 daily maximum, billed on a 24-hour cycle. That puts it above the economy surface lots in price, but you’re paying for covered parking and the shortest, most predictable terminal access GRR offers. For short trips of 24–48 hours, the math often favors the garage over off-site shuttles and extra time.

The structure is fully covered with a posted vehicle height limit of 8 feet 2 inches, so standard sedans and SUVs fit, but tall vans or lifted trucks need to use surface lots. Since it’s on airport property and right across from the terminal doors, it’s a solid call for early 6:00 a.m. departures or late-night arrivals when you don’t want to wait curbside.

Security-wise, the garage has blue call boxes and a posted assistance phone number on each level, which GRR says you can use if you forget where you parked or need help with a vehicle. Regulars mention choosing the garage on days with snow or thunderstorms specifically to avoid walking across open lots or standing 10–15 minutes for shuttles.

Practical tip: Snap a photo of your level and nearest row marker as soon as you park; it makes it much easier to describe your spot if you call for assistance from one of the blue boxes.
