Hourly Parking

Two-minute walk from the Main terminal doors, but it’s $18/day

Hourly Parking at SAV is the garage right in front of the Main terminal, and you’re inside the building in about a 2-minute walk from most spaces. You pull a ticket, park on any public level, and roll straight to check-in without crossing access roads or waiting on a shuttle. This is the closest you can leave a car to the ticket counters and baggage claim at Savannah/Hilton Head.

Rates run on simple $1-per-hour increments, topping out at a daily maximum of $18 per 24 hours. That flat hourly billing (no 15-minute blocks) makes the math easy for quick drop-offs, pickups, or meetings that last 1–3 hours. Stay much beyond 4 hours and you’re creeping toward the $18 cap, which is why locals treat this like true short-term parking, not an overnight solution.

A 2023–24 rate hike bumped the daily cap here from $12 to $18, and local coverage called out regulars who were surprised at the jump. At that price, a couple of days in the Hourly garage often costs more than the on-airport daily or economy lots, and usually more than off-airport hotel park-and-fly deals in Pooler once you’re past the first day. For anything over one day, most cost-conscious travelers shift away from this garage.

Frequent users say the play is simple: use Hourly when you know you’ll be under 3–4 hours, or when Savannah’s summer heat makes a 2-minute walk worth the premium. Several nearby hotel guests even mention skipping shuttles and driving straight into this garage if they oversleep. One practical tip: before pulling a ticket, check your watch and mentally price your stay in $1 steps up to $18; if you’re flirting with that cap, drive on to the daily or economy lots instead.
