General Parking Information
Parking at San Diego International Airport is conveniently located outside each of the three terminal buildings. Motorists can park on-site for short-term and long-term periods (up to 30 days). Long-term parking is also available on a daily basis and can be a useful option, especially during busy holiday travel periods when on-site parking is at capacity.

There are two fast payment options:
1. The automated Express Parking pay stations located outside Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, or
2. The fully-staffed payment booths at the exit gates of each parking lot. Both payment areas accept cash and major credit cards (VISA, Master Card, American Express, Discover, and Diner’s Club). For your convenience, several ATM machines are located within each terminal.

Curbside Drop-Offs, Parking and Pick Up
Peak travel times bring additional passengers. Please remember that curb fronts are reserved for active loading and unloading only. This policy is in accordance with recent heightened security measures and will be strictly enforced by Airport personnel.

Curbside parking is never permitted at San Diego International Airport. Stopping times at the curb for loading and unloading should be brief. Increased security measures require that unattended vehicles and vehicles in “No Parking” areas will be ticketed and may be towed.

When picking up arriving travelers, plan to park in one of the Airport's nearby short-term lots. From there, meet your arriving party at a pre-designated location, such as the Baggage Claim areas.

Cell Phone Waiting Lot
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is offering the option of a Cell Phone Waiting Lot for parking, free of charge, as a temporary way-station for motorists picking up passengers at the Airport. Motorists will be able to avoid making a series of loops past the terminals and around airport roadways by waiting in a 50-space parking lot. Once contact is made between the driver and incoming passenger, motorists will proceed to the terminals, cutting congestion in front of the terminal buildings during peak summer travel months. Features of the Cell Phone Waiting Lot include:

• Fifty parking spaces available
• Maximum wait time of 60 minutes
• Vehicles must be attended
• Open 24 hours, with lot lighted at night
• Portable restrooms available
• See map for location of Cell Phone Waiting Lot
