What does Economy Parking at GSP cost compared with the garages and valet?
| GSP parking option | Daily maximum | 3 days | 7 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy 1 | $10.00 | $30.00 | $70.00 |
| Economy 2 (pre-bookable as Economy Lot P2) | $10.00 | $30.00 | $70.00 |
| Economy Lot 3 | Temporarily closed | Closed | Closed |
| Parking Garages A, B and C | $19.00 | $57.00 | $133.00 |
| Valet | $26.00 | $78.00 | $182.00 |
| Hourly parking in Garage A or B | $2 an hour for up to four hours, first 15 minutes free | Hourly only | Hourly only |
GSP shows these maximums in a live status table on its parking page, read on September 15, 2026, when it was stamped 9:54 am. The airport prints no date the rates took effect. The 3-day and 7-day columns multiply the daily maximum, which assumes it applies to each day; GSP does not state that.
Over a week at those maximums, Economy costs $63.00 less than a garage and $112.00 less than Valet. Each garage day is $9.00 more than Economy, and it buys a space beside the terminal building instead of a shuttle ride.
Frequent flyers can cut the cost further. GSP's Parking Rewards program gives 2 points per dollar on pre-booked stays, and a free Economy day costs 200 points, so $100 of pre-booked parking earns one free Economy day. GSP sums it up as one free day for every ten days parked. Other options at the airport are compared in the Greenville-Spartanburg airport parking guide.
How does the Economy shuttle get travelers to the GSP terminal?
GSP's FAQ places Economy Lots 1 and 2 on Aviation Parkway, reached from the roundabout, and its parking page describes the Economy lots as sitting on Aviation Parkway and GSP Drive. Parking Garages A, B and C stand to the right and left of the terminal building as you approach. GSP's parking page refers to one terminal building, so every Economy shuttle goes to the same place.
Two GSP pages word the terminal stop differently. The shuttle page says the terminal curb near baggage claim, while the FAQ says parking and hotel shuttles use the center island of the front pickup and drop-off lanes.
Arrival steps at the Economy lots
- Decide whether to pre-book. GSP lists Economy Lot P2, not Lot 1, among the lots open for pre-booking, and a reservation guarantees a space.
- Drive to the Economy lots on Aviation Parkway, reached from the roundabout. GSP's parking page shows how full each lot is.
- With a booking, arrive no more than 2 hours early, or the gate will not open. The camera reads the plate you entered, or you scan the barcode in your confirmation email.
- Park in any open space; spaces are not assigned.
- Walk to a marked shuttle shelter and ride the free shuttle to the terminal curb.
Return steps from the GSP terminal
- After baggage claim, go to the shuttle pick-up spot on the terminal curb near baggage claim.
- Check the Live Shuttle Tracker on GSP's shuttle page if the bus is not there.
- Ride back to the Economy lots. If you forget where you parked, use a blue emergency call box or call LAZ Parking at 864-662-4300.
- Leave through the gate by plate camera or barcode. Exiting more than 2 hours after your booked exit time adds a charge at the lot's posted rate.
- If the gate does not read your plate or barcode, press the intercom at the exit station.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about Economy Parking at GSP?
In place of reviews, ParkingAccess recorded GSP's live lot status when it checked the airport's parking page on Tuesday, September 15, 2026. The table is that single reading, stamped 9:54 am.
| GSP lot | Percent full | Status shown |
|---|---|---|
| Economy 1 | 20% | Open |
| Economy 2 | 63% | Open |
| Parking Garage A | 60% | Open |
| Parking Garage B | 81% | Limited |
| Parking Garage C | 44% | Open |
| Valet | Not shown | Open |
| Economy Lot 3 | Not shown | Temporarily closed |
One reading is not a pattern, but it shows the spread that morning. Economy 1 was 43 percentage points emptier than Economy 2, and Garage B was the only lot marked limited. GSP's rewards page adds that there are a limited number of spaces to pre-book and that your preferred lot may be full, so allow extra time to park.
What are GSP's rules for Economy Parking on cancellation, overstays, payment and vehicle size?
| Topic | What GSP publishes |
|---|---|
| Hours | Parking facilities open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
| Booking window | Up to 12 months ahead; same-day bookings up to 2 hours before arrival; 60 days at most per booking |
| Cancellation cutoff | Booking FAQ: up to 2 hours before arrival. Terms 5.1: up to 3 hours before |
| Refund on cancellation | None without Cancellation Protection; with it, the full amount minus the protection fee |
| Changes | Free up to 2 hours before arrival; the changed booking cannot cost less than the original |
| Unused days | No refund for days booked and left unused |
| Overstay | Free for 2 hours past the booked exit, then the lot's posted rate, whatever the reason |
| Fees | None added unless you buy Cancellation Protection; its price is not published |
| Payment | Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover online; no cash at the lots |
| Keys | Economy is self-park; only Valet customers hand keys to an attendant |
| Vehicle size | Not published |
| Transfers | Valid only for the lot booked; not transferable |
| Damage | GSP says it is not responsible for loss or damage to vehicles |
| Accessible parking | In all lots at the posted rate, with a DMV placard; out-of-state placards accepted |
GSP's two booking documents disagree on the cancellation cutoff, so cancelling at least 3 hours before arrival satisfies both. The Terms also let the airport treat an uncollected car as abandoned unless you send written notice, so if a trip runs days long, send the airport your plate, where the car is parked, the reason for the delay and your new return date.
Who should park somewhere other than GSP's Economy lots?
| Your situation | Why Economy may not fit | What to use instead |
|---|---|---|
| You are picking someone up | Economy is a shuttle ride from the terminal | GSP's Cell Phone Lot, free while the driver stays in the vehicle |
| You are visiting for under four hours | Economy posts only a daily maximum, and the shuttle adds two rides | Garage A or B at $2 an hour for up to four hours, first 15 minutes free |
| Your EV needs a charge | GSP lists chargers only in Parking Garage B | Parking Garage B, three free chargers on the entrance level, $19 a day |
| You want to walk to the terminal | Economy relies on the shuttle | Parking Garages A, B or C beside the terminal building, $19.00 a day |
| You want someone else to park the car | Economy is self-park | Valet at $26.00 a day; GSP gives its opening time as 4:15 AM on one page and 90 minutes before the first departure on another |
| You might cancel at the last minute | A pre-booked stay cancelled without Cancellation Protection is charged in full | Add Cancellation Protection, or skip pre-booking and pay GSP's posted rate |
| You will be away more than 60 days | Pre-bookings stop at 60 days | Call LAZ Parking at 864-662-4300, or compare choices in the GSP parking guide |
