P1 - Furthest Lot

$12 per day gets you into P1, RAP’s true economy lot.

P1 – Furthest Lot sits about 0.5 miles from the Rapid City Regional Airport terminal, so you’re looking at roughly a 15‑minute walk at a normal pace. It’s long‑stay parking with the lowest on‑airport daily cap, coming in at $12 per day, undercutting P2’s higher rate for the same flights and the same security lines.

RAP is tiny compared with big hubs, and regulars report curb‑to‑gate times around 15 minutes with TSA PreCheck. That scale works in P1’s favor: even though it’s the “furthest” lot, you’re still closer to the terminal than economy lots at many larger airports that require a shuttle. Here, you just park, grab your bag, and walk in.

There’s no dedicated shuttle system tied to P1, so treat it as walk‑up economy parking. If you’re hauling multiple checked bags for a 7‑ to 10‑day trip, factor the 0.5‑mile walk into your timing. All parking, including P1, is operated directly by Rapid City Regional Airport, so you’re not dealing with third‑party lots or hotel shuttles once you’re on airport property.

Regulars sometimes skip airport parking entirely and book park‑and‑fly hotel packages in Rapid City for week‑long vacations, using the hotel shuttle instead of paying the on‑site daily rate. If you’d rather stay on airport grounds, P1’s $12 daily cap makes more sense once you cross about 3–4 days, compared with short‑stay options closer to the terminal.

Tip: Build a 15‑minute buffer into your airport arrival to walk from P1, and add another 15–20 minutes for check‑in and security; that keeps you safe even without PreCheck on normal days.
