Handicap parking is available in short- and long-term parking. The Northwest Florida Regional is served by over 50 ground transportation companies, transporting passengers to/from the Northwest Florida Panhandle area.

Travelers utilizing the new rental car facility will now access rental car pick up and drop off at the ready/return lot on the east side of the terminal, thereby decreasing walking distance and providing a more convenient passenger drop off at curbside, and rental car pick up from the counters inside the terminal.
