What does parking at Fayetteville Regional Airport cost in the long-term and short-term lots?
| Charge | Long-term lot | Short-term lot |
|---|---|---|
| First period | $1.00 for 0 to 1 hour | $1.00 for the first 30 minutes |
| Each additional period | $1.00 an hour | $1.00 per 30 minutes |
| 24 hours | $10.00 | $13.00 |
| After 24 hours | Listed as n/a | $1.00 each additional hour |
| 24-hour rate reached after | 10 hours | 6 hours 30 minutes |
The rates come from the City of Fayetteville's Parking and Transportation page for the airport, checked on September 15, 2026. Republic Parking answers rate questions at (910) 484-0063.
| Stay | Long-term lot | Short-term lot |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | $2.00 | $4.00 |
| 24 hours | $10.00 | $13.00 |
| 3 days | $30.00 | Not published |
| 5 days | $50.00 | Not published |
| 7 days | $70.00 | Not published |
The long-term totals assume the $10.00 rate repeats for each 24 hours, which the airport's table implies but does not state. Short-term totals past one day are left out because the table adds $1.00 for each hour after 24 hours without saying where that stops. At the 24-hour rates, long-term costs $3.00 a day less than short-term.
Watch for older numbers. The airport.guide directory, which ranked third in a Google search checked for this page, still lists daily maximums of $9.00 for long-term and $12.00 for short-term, each $1.00 below the airport's own table. ParkingAccess sells no FAY parking, so no ParkingAccess quote appears here. The Fayetteville Regional Airport overview on ParkingAccess covers the airport more broadly.
How do you get from FAY's long-term lot to the terminal, and is there a shuttle?
From I-95 north or south, take Exit 44 onto Claude Lee Road, follow the airport signs about 3 miles to Airport Road, and turn right onto the terminal access road. From downtown Fayetteville, take Eastern Boulevard, also Business 95/301 South, past the Crown Coliseum and turn left on Airport Road at the second red light.
The airport lists TSA hours as 3:45 AM to 8 PM, yet says the terminal opens at 4 a.m.; for a first flight of the day, check timing with your airline. The airport recommends arriving 90 minutes to 2 hours before departure. FAY has daily American Airlines service to Charlotte and Delta service to Atlanta, and the airport says it serves nearly 500,000 travelers a year.
Arrival steps at FAY's long-term lot
- Drive to 400 Airport Road, Fayetteville, NC 28306, just off Highway 301; from I-95 use Exit 44.
- Follow the terminal access road, which circles the parking facilities.
- Choose the long-term lot, which costs less than short-term by the hour and by the day.
- Park and walk to the terminal building in front of the lot; there is no shuttle to wait for.
- Check in 90 minutes to 2 hours before departure, as the airport recommends.
Return steps from the FAY terminal
- Collect your bags in baggage claim, where the seven rental car agencies also have counters.
- Walk out to the long-term lot in front of the terminal.
- Settle the charge before leaving: $1.00 an hour, up to $10.00 per 24 hours. Payment methods are not published, so call Republic Parking at (910) 484-0063 if you need them in advance.
- If someone collects you instead, they must stay with their car in the pick-up area in front of the terminal.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about parking at Fayetteville Regional Airport?
In place of reviews, ParkingAccess checked what drivers find when they look up FAY parking rates. On September 15, 2026, the airport's own table and a directory ranking near the top of Google disagreed.
| Source, checked September 15, 2026 | Long-term, 24 hours | Short-term, 24 hours | Date shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Fayetteville airport Parking and Transportation page | $10.00 | $13.00 | None |
| airport.guide FAY parking page | $9.00 | $12.00 | None |
Neither page dates its figures, and the airport's page is the one that sets the price. A driver budgeting from the directory would come up $1.00 short per day in either lot, or $7.00 short over a week in long-term.
The airport's web address has changed too. The old flyfay.com address now forwards to the City of Fayetteville's airport pages on fayettevillenc.gov, where the parking table lives.

Planned work near the lots: on July 28, 2026, the FAA signed a finding of no significant impact for a consolidated rental car facility on undeveloped airport land near the terminal. The plan includes a road connection for quick return access to the terminal parking lot. The finding gives no construction dates and announces no change to the public lots.
