Terminal 2 Garage

$29 per day buys you a 2-minute walk to T2 check-in

Terminal 2 Garage sits directly on top of STL’s Terminal 2, giving Southwest and other T2 flyers an indoor walk of roughly 1–3 minutes from car to check-in. This is the airport’s short-term option for T2, grouped with Terminal 1’s garage in STL’s “Hourly Parking (Terminal 1 & 2 Parking Garages)” listings and priced at $29 per day on the official parking page.

The garage is fully post-entry to airport property but outside security, connected to Terminal 2 by enclosed walkways on several levels. Hourly rates scale up to that $29 daily cap, which is a few dollars higher than Terminal 1’s posted daily rate. For a 2–3 day Southwest run, many regulars treat this as the “pay more, walk less” option versus remote Super Park and Lots B, C, or D.

Expect this garage to feel busiest around school breaks and major holidays, because Terminal 2 carries a lot of leisure traffic. Reviews mention spending extra time circling levels during peak spring-break weekends, with more hunting for a space here than at the Terminal 1 garage next door. If you see the “Term 2 Parking Availability” tile drop into single digits, seasoned STL drivers say they immediately reroute to Lot C or D instead.

Common complaints cluster around the entrance plaza and interior layout. Google reviews cite occasional gridlock at the T2 garage entrance when multiple cars try to pull tickets or pay at the same time, especially during heavy Southwest departure banks. Inside, several travelers say wayfinding and level markings are easy to miss, which makes it simple to forget which floor you used on a rushed 6:00 a.m. departure.

Tip: Before you pull in, check Term 2 availability on the STL site; if it looks tight, go straight to Lot B or C, snap a quick photo of your row marker, and skip the T2 entrance jam entirely.
