Parking Tips at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport

Airport parking can be frustrating at times.

Before driving, you can consider calling the Airport Parking Office at +1 727-453-7800 for up-to-the-minute parking statuses—and whether or not parking reservations are required.

• Leave home and plan to arrive at the Airport at least an hour earlier. In that way, you can potentially avoid the likelihood of driving around looking for parking availability. It could also delay your arrival at the departure gate promptly.
• Check out the Airport’s map. Before leaving for the Airport, familiarize yourself with terminals, gates, access roads, and parking locations.
• When traveling with a piece of luggage, be mindful of the distance between the parking location and the terminal gates. Also, look if there are shuttle buses available in your vicinity.
• Especially during the long holidays, rush hour, and high travel seasons, vehicles at the parking area may cause a jam at the bottleneck at the security checking area and the airport gates.
• When there are lots of passengers, this also means that the airport shuttle services are slow and overcrowded, packed with people and their luggage.
• Security measures can also inconvenience your schedule, and it’s hard to prepare for them.
• Maintenance and construction work can mean detours that you will have to take to get to your parking spot at the Airport.
• When traveling with your vehicle to the Airport, provide enough time to account for possible delays on the road.
