Where to park at SRQ

The airport lists these rates as effective October 1, 2025, and they may have changed. All four automated exit lanes at the toll plaza accept credit cards only, while other lanes have cashiers.

  • Short Term Lot

    Directly across from the terminal. $2 for the first 20 minutes, with a daily maximum of $29. Eight free level-2 EV charging stations are in row A8.

  • Long Term Lot

    Daily maximum of $16. When it is full, a free shuttle runs between the Long Term lot, the overflow lots and the terminal.

  • Shade Lot

    More than 400 covered spaces in a fenced, lighted area, reached by turning right on Rick Piccolo Circle before the terminal. Daily maximum of $16. The exit is automated and takes credit cards only, so you need a card to leave.

  • Overflow A and D lots and Tower Lot

    Opened only when needed, with shuttle service. Daily maximum of $14.

  • The airport says it does not run out of spaces, but lots do fill and overflow lots open when needed, so allow extra time for the shuttle.
  • The parking shuttle to the front of the terminal runs from two hours before the first morning departure until after the last scheduled arriving flight, including delays.
  • The airport used to offer free 30-minute parking. That ended in 2021. Use the free cellphone lot on Rental Car Road if you are meeting someone.
