How the on-site lots compare at AUS
The cheapest on-airport long-term option at AUS works for trips of four days or more, where the per-day savings outweigh the shuttle wait. For one- to three-day trips, the daily terminal garage is usually the better total-time call once you factor in the shuttle to and from a long-term lot.
Hourly parking is for pickups and meetings of less than four hours; rates climb steeply after the first hour at every airport. The cell phone waiting lot is free and is the right place to wait for an arriving passenger — pulling to the arrivals curb early forces you into a recirculation loop that at busy hubs like AUS can cost 15–25 minutes.
Off-airport parking near AUS
Independent operators within a few miles of AUS typically undercut on-airport economy by $3–$8 per day. The trade-off is shuttle frequency.
| Lot | Daily rate | Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| The Parking Spot AUS | $12/day | 24/7 free shuttle |
Rideshare and ground transportation
Uber and Lyft pick up at the Ground Transportation lot, a 3-minute walk from baggage claim. Surcharge $2.20.
