The hotel lot ParkingAccess can book near San Antonio's airport
For November 6 to 13, ParkingAccess could book one lot: Homewood Suites on Broadway at $53.76, priced as 8 days. The Hilton Garden Inn lot next door was sold out for those dates.
| Lot | Distance | Type | Reviews as listed | Live rate | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homewood Suites, 8531 Broadway Street | 0.7 miles from SAT | Uncovered, self-park; shuttle every 30 minutes, 10-minute transfer | Good (1049 reviews) | $4.95/day | $53.76 for 8 days |
| Hilton Garden Inn San Antonio Airport South, 8505 Broadway St | 0.7 miles from SAT | Uncovered, self-park | Good (1212 reviews) | $4.95/day | Sold out for these dates |
The 30 minutes is how often the shuttle is dispatched, and the ride is about 10 minutes, so plan for a wait. The airport's hotel shuttle page lists phone numbers and tells you to confirm with the hotel. Eight days of Economy Green at $10 is $80, so Homewood is $26.24 less on these dates. Prices are a ParkingAccess search from October 22, 2026, with taxes and the $9.95 service fee. See live prices for November 6 to 13, 2026, then change the dates.

The airport's construction page says two of four far-end curb lanes are closed on both levels at Terminal B through December 2026, which overlaps the holidays. The Terminal B curb work is why pickup spots have moved.
