Hourly Parking

$5 an hour to park 1 minute from ORF’s Main terminal

Hourly Parking at Norfolk (ORF) runs $5 per hour with a $25 daily max, and you’re basically across the road from the Main terminal doors. Figure a 1‑minute walk from most spots, so this is the pay-more, walk-less option for quick visits.

The hourly facilities sit right next to the terminal and in Garage A, connected by short ramps and bridges rather than any shuttle. Stays under 30 minutes are free in every ORF lot and garage, including hourly, so you can do fast drop‑offs and pick‑ups without paying if you keep it tight.

Rates cap at $25 per calendar day, which is higher than the standard daily garages but buys you that 1–3 minute walk to the Main terminal. Maximum stay is 30 days; after that you’re supposed to call airport parking administration so they can tag your plate for extended parking instead of flagging it as abandoned.

All ORF parking is cashless, including hourly. You need a credit card or a debit card that runs as credit at the exit gate; PIN-only debit will not work. If you only have cash, use the reverse ATM in the departures terminal to load a temporary card (there’s a service fee for that conversion).

Garage A posts an 8′1″ height limit, so regulars with taller vans or trucks stick to the surface hourly sections and the oversize parking areas. Security guards patrol the garages 24/7, and there are blue service phones on each level if you need help with a jump or feel uneasy walking back to your car late.

Tip: Plan your arrival so pick‑up or drop‑off stays under 30 minutes; if you know you’ll run longer than that and want the shortest walk, go straight to Hourly and treat the $5–$10 as the price of being right by the Main terminal doors.
