Valet Parking

$30 per day buys you the closest handoff to IAH terminals.

Valet Parking at George Bush Intercontinental sits right next to the terminal doors, so drop-off and pick-up are a short walk from check-in counters in Terminals A–E. You pull up, hand over the keys, and head straight toward the airline desks instead of looping through economy lots. This setup helps most when you have checked bags or kids in tow and don’t want to deal with shuttles.

Pricing runs at about $15 for up to 2 hours and $30 for 2 to 24 hours, with a posted weekly rate of $210. That puts valet at roughly double or more the cost of most off-site and economy options around IAH. The trade-off is time: you’re cutting out a 10–20 minute shuttle ride each way from the long-term lots, plus the wait time for the bus.

Compared with IAH’s economy garages and remote lots, which often come in well under $10–$15 per day on third-party sites, this valet option is the premium end of airport parking. Regulars tend to reserve it for tight schedules, late-night arrivals into Terminal C or E, or trips with multiple checked bags where the curbside drop-off next to the terminal saves real effort. For longer trips over seven days, many frequent flyers switch to economy or off-airport parking to avoid watching the bill climb past that $210 weekly mark.

Watch out for the higher daily rate if your plans shift: a four-day trip hits $120 quickly, and a 10-day stay jumps to about $300. If your return time is fuzzy, build a small buffer in your budget. One practical move: price out an economy lot or off-airport garage first; if the savings are under about $10–$15 per day for your dates, valet next to the terminal usually wins on stress and time saved.
