200-meter walk from Terminal 3, this is the overflow lot
Overflow Parking Terminal 3 sits just beyond the main Terminal 3 car park at José Martí International Airport (HAV), roughly a 2–3 minute walk to the departures doors. It functions as the long-stay spillover area when the closer bays fill up, mainly serving international flights out of Terminal 3. You stay landside the whole time, with a straight shot to check-in once you park.
This is a long-stay option, so plan on leaving your car here for at least a full day rather than a quick pickup. Pricing at HAV is typically set per hour with a capped daily rate, and overflow spaces usually get used once the main Terminal 3 lot is near capacity. Expect basic open-air surface parking with standard painted bays and simple ticket or barrier entry, not a multi‑level garage.
Overflow Parking Terminal 3 works best if your flight departs or arrives through Terminal 3, which handles most long-haul and regional international services. Terminals 1, 2, and 5 sit farther away on the airport road network, so using this lot for those terminals usually means arranging an extra taxi hop of a few kilometers. If friends or family are picking you up, agree in advance on the exact row or landmark, as signage can be minimal.
You won’t find formal shuttle buses circulating every 10 minutes like at bigger hubs; at HAV, the walk from Overflow Parking Terminal 3 to the Terminal 3 doors is your “shuttle.” That makes it simple, but not great in a heavy downpour or midday heat. Build at least a 15–20 minute buffer from parking to check-in so you have time to lock up, walk in, and clear any lines at the terminal entrance.
Practical tip: take a quick photo of your car and the nearest sign or pole number and, if possible, drop a pin in your maps app with “Overflow T3 HAV” so you can find the exact spot easily in the dark on your return.
