Premier Parking

Five‑minute covered walk to OMA’s doors, at $20 a day

Premier Parking sits on Level 3 of the South Garage at Eppley Airfield and is aimed at people who care more about a short walk than shaving dollars. Daily rates run $20.00, with a weekly cap at $140.00, and the walk to the North and South terminal doors runs about five minutes under cover. It’s tagged as short-stay, so think business trips, quick conferences, or long weekends, not a two‑week family vacation.

This is a relatively small zone, roughly 370 spaces carved out from the main South Garage inventory, so it fills and clears faster than the regular covered garages. The dedicated Premier ramp comes straight off the main airport roadway, which can save a few minutes when Abbott Drive and the standard garage ramps clog at Monday morning or Thursday evening peaks. If you’re landing late in winter or in a storm line, walking five minutes inside instead of across open lots is the whole point here.

Premier is walk‑up only: no advance reservations, no promo codes at the gate. It’s also specifically excluded from some corporate and University of Nebraska discount schemes that do apply to the regular covered garages, so UN travelers stick to the standard garages to trigger their deal. Payment is the usual ticket‑on-entry, pay‑on-exit setup at the garage, at the posted $20.00 daily rate.

Tip: If Abbott Drive looks jammed as you approach OMA, stay in the lane signed for the Premier express ramp into the South Garage; you’ll often be parked on Level 3 before the regular garage queue even hits the ticket machine.
