In the coming weeks, the Airport will activate its new parking gate system at both the Terminal Parking Lot and the General Aviation Parking Lot.
Here’s what you need to know:
- No tickets required!
- Your vehicle’s license plate will be automatically read upon entry and exit, allowing the system to calculate the length of your stay.
The first 30 minutes are FREE. Whether you’re picking up or dropping off a passenger, you’ll have 30 minutes at no charge.
Parking Rates:
First 30 minutes: FREE
After 30 minutes: $4.00 per hour
Maximum daily rate (24-hour period): $16.00
Convenient payment options will be available, including on-site payment stations and mobile payment options.
This new system is designed to improve parking efficiency while continuing to provide a convenient experience for our passengers and visitors. They’ll announce the official activation date soon. Until then, parking operations will remain unchanged. For more information about parking at the Hilton Head Island Airport, including current rates and guidelines, please visit
