Ecopark2

$10 daily gets you IAH’s farthest official economy lot

Ecopark2 sits about 1 mile from George Bush Intercontinental and runs as the airport’s lowest-positioned, remote-owned option. Daily drive-up rates sit at $10.00, with a posted weekly rate of $70.00, undercutting most on-airport garages and closer economy sections if you’re gone more than a couple of days.

This is a true remote setup: you park, then ride a shuttle about 15 minutes to the terminals A–E, with some waits stretching closer to 20 minutes when traffic is heavy or it’s off-peak. Factor that into your schedule like an extra connection. If you normally aim to hit the TSA line 90 minutes before boarding, push that to two hours when you leave your car here.

Pricing matters most on longer trips. At $70 per week, a 7-day stay at Ecopark2 often comes in cheaper than closer airport lots or many off-airport brands once you add taxes and random “airport fee” surcharges. For short runs of 1–2 days, the time trade-off versus a closer Ecopark or terminal garage is less compelling unless every other lot around IAH is spiking above the $15–$20 range.

Regulars try to prepay online through the airport’s parking system or comparison tools to lock in a slightly better rate than the $10.00 drive-up price. That step can save a few dollars on a 3–5 day stay, which adds up if you fly through IAH a few times a month. One practical move: screenshot your reservation barcode before you leave Wi‑Fi so the gate readers don’t slow you down at 5 a.m.

Tip: Build in a full 30 minutes from locking your car at Ecopark2 to reaching any terminal curb; don’t cut it tighter than that for early-morning or Sunday evening flights.
