Economy Parking A

$7 per day is the cheapest on-airport rate at RIC

Economy Parking A runs $7 per day and sits in the long-term, budget tier of Richmond International’s parking. It’s an official airport lot, not an off-site operation, so you still stay on airport property while trading a walkable spot for a shuttle ride.

The lot ties into RIC’s complimentary EasyPark shuttle system, running 24/7/365 between Economy Parking A and the Terminal 1 building. Shuttles circulate constantly around the economy areas; if you’re landing on a late-night flight, you still catch a ride back to your car without worrying about hours.

RIC calls its economy parking the cheapest public parking on the field, and ParkingAccess pegs the rate at $7 per day. Regulars lean on Economy A when trip length makes daily cost matter more than being a short walk from check-in, especially on week-long vacations or work trips.

The lot is set up for long-term parking, so plan to park once and leave the car. You pay on exit at the airport’s standard pay stations or gates, with the $7 daily charge racking up from the time-stamped entry ticket, which is straightforward for expensing or splitting costs.

For help with shuttle timing or pickup, RIC publishes an EasyPark shuttle contact number on its parking page, and service is advertised as continuous 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you land, walk to the shuttle stop outside Terminal 1, and you should see an Economy shuttle loop by shortly.

Tip: On busy mornings and holidays, build in an extra 15–20 minutes for the shuttle from Economy Parking A to Terminal 1 so you’re not rushing security with a checked bag.
