Terminal 3 Garage

Five-minute covered walk straight into PHX Terminal 3

Terminal 3 Garage sits directly next to PHX Terminal 3, with a roughly 5-minute indoor walk from car to American, Delta, and JetBlue check-in. Daily parking runs $20, with a weekly rate of about $140, so you pay premium prices to skip shuttles and stand in air-conditioning instead of the Phoenix heat.

This is long-stay parking, but the pricing math usually favors trips of 1–4 days. At $20 per day, a quick two-night work run or weekend flight is where this garage makes the most sense, especially if your company is covering parking. For a full week at $140, some locals shift to off-airport or economy lots to save cash.

The structure has a posted height limit of 6'10". Full-size trucks, lifted SUVs, or vehicles with roof racks sometimes get turned away and pushed to economy or off-airport options. If your SUV manual lists 6'8" or higher, measure before you drive in; PHX staff follow the height sign pretty strictly on busy days.

Regular PHX flyers on FlyerTalk mention they used to park at cheaper covered options near the old Terminal 2, then walk or shuttle over rather than pay the in-terminal daily rate. That should tell you how they treat Terminal 3 Garage: a premium they accept mainly on expensed trips or very short stays where time and heat avoidance outweigh the extra $8–$12 per day versus economy.

Payment runs through the standard PHX parking system, with ticketed entry and pay-on-exit lanes that often back up during Sunday evening rush. Build an extra 10 minutes into your return if you’re landing around the 7–9 p.m. bank. One last tip: on departure day, park near the elevator core that lines up with your airline’s check-in row so you’re not hauling bags across the garage twice.
