Ecopark 2

Ecopark 2 sits 0.5 miles from IAH with the lowest official long-term rates

Daily parking runs $10 at Ecopark 2, making it the budget play among Houston Bush Intercontinental’s airport-operated long-stay options. This lot sits about 0.5 miles from the terminals, so you trade proximity for price, but stay inside the official airport system instead of going off-airport.

Shuttles run on about a 10–15 minute loop from Ecopark 2 to terminals A, B, C, D, and E, which is the key number to build into your timing. Add that to your airline’s boarding time and your own security buffer, and you quickly get to “park at least 60–75 minutes before boarding” for most departures.

Rates are simple: $10 per day or $70 per week, so a 7‑night trip comes out to the weekly cap instead of stacking seven separate daily charges. That weekly rate usually undercuts terminal garages by a noticeable margin, especially on trips longer than three days.

This is a long-stay setup, not a quick in-and-out lot, so Ecopark 2 makes more sense for 3+ day trips than for a single overnight. Being the most remote of the airport-operated options, it’s usually easier to find open rows here than in the closer Ecopark or terminal garages during peak Monday and Thursday crowds.

Regulars often pre-book Ecopark 2 online through the airport’s parking portal or comparison sites to lock in slightly lower prepaid rates than the $10 drive-up price. If your plans are firm, that prepay move can save a few dollars over a 5–7 day stay.

Practical tip: aim to park near a shuttle stop sign in the row you choose, snap a photo of the row number, and allow a full 30 minutes from locking your car at Ecopark 2 to reaching your terminal during busy morning banks.
