Terminal 1 Parking

Five-minute walk from Terminal 1 security, no shuttle involved

Terminal 1 Parking sits directly next to Terminal 1 at HNL, so you walk about 5 minutes from your car to the lobby and check-in counters. It’s a seven-story garage that functions as the airport’s long-stay option for Hawaiian Airlines and other Terminal 1 flights. Daily max runs $27, so it’s priced at the higher end but trades dollars for time and predictability.

The garage height limit is 7 feet 0 inches at all entrances, which rules out many lifted trucks, tall cargo vans, and some SUVs with roof boxes. If your vehicle is close to that 7-foot mark, measure first; airport staff won’t waive damage if you scrape the ceiling on the entry ramp. For standard sedans and crossovers, clearance is usually fine.

Terminal 1 Parking is officially long stay, so leaving the car for several days at $27 per 24 hours makes sense if you value the short walk. The structure’s seven levels often fill from the lower floors up, with better odds of open spaces above level 4 during midday bank times. Payment is the usual ticket-on-entry, pay-on-exit setup, and you avoid waiting on any shuttle loop.

On level 6, a vehicle bridge connects this garage to the International Parking Garage, which the airport uses as overflow when Terminal 1 fills. Regulars only drive across that 6th-level bridge if the main levels are clearly packed, since crossing over means a slightly longer walk back to Terminal 1. Follow airport signage at level 6; it clearly marks the International Garage connection.

Practical tip: If you’re flying out of Terminal 1 on a busy morning bank, head straight up to levels 5–6 on arrival instead of circling the lower floors; you’ll park faster and still keep that 5‑minute walk to check-in.
