Daniel K. Inouye International Airport
(Honolulu Airport - HNL)
Public parking at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is designed for convenience, flexibility, and accessibility for all travelers. Whether you're picking up a passenger, dropping someone off, or parking for an inter-island or long-haul trip, Honolulu Airport provides multiple secure parking options within walking distance or a short shuttle ride to the terminals.
HNL serves as Hawaiʻi’s largest and busiest airport, and unlike smaller airports, it features several large parking structures and surface lots to accommodate high passenger volume.
HNL offers multiple parking areas, each strategically located to serve different travelers:
• Terminal 1 Parking Garage: Hawaiian Airlines flights — attached to Terminal 1
• Terminal 2 Parking Garage: Most domestic & international flights — adjacent to Terminal 2
• International Parking Garage: Overseas flights & overflow parking — connected to Terminals 1 & 2 via walkways
• Economy Parking / Lot A: Budget long-term parking — shuttle access to terminals
All lots are clearly marked with signage throughout the airport roadways, and pedestrian bridges provide comfortable access from the garages to the terminals.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport offers standardized parking rates that apply across all public lots and garages:
• First 15 minutes: Free
• 16 to 30 minutes: $1.00
• Each additional 15 minutes: $1.00
• Maximum per 24 hours: $24.00
While more expensive than parking at some neighbor-island airports, HNL’s daily rate is competitive with major airports nationwide and is suitable for both short-term and long-term stays.
Parking garages and lots accept:
• Credit and debit cards
• Cash (at payment kiosks)
• Automated pay stations at exit lanes
Receipts are issued automatically, and passengers can pre-pay at kiosks to speed exit times during peak periods.
• ADA Accessible Parking: Designated stalls with direct, easy access to elevators, curbside drop-off points, and terminals.
• Overnight and Long-Term Parking: Vehicles may remain parked for long durations — ideal for multi-day business trips or vacations.
• Lighting & Security Patrols: All garages and lots are well-lit and routinely patrolled to support traveler and vehicle safety.
• Electric Vehicle Charging: Select stalls in the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 garages include EV charging stations (availability varies).
• Arrive early during peak periods — early morning (5:30–8:00 AM), midday inter-island waves, and late-evening international departures.
• Plan parking by airline — parking closest to your terminal reduces walking time and increases convenience.
• Remember your stall — take a photo of the level and stall number.
• Use Economy Parking for long stays — offers best balance of price and convenience with shuttle access to terminals.
If you prefer not to park at the airport, several options are available:
• Curbside Pick-Up & Drop-Off — available at Departures and Arrivals, though vehicles may not wait or be left unattended.
• Taxi & Ride-Share Services (Uber & Lyft) — pickup zones clearly marked at each terminal.
• Shuttle Services — shared and private shuttles serve Waikīkī, Ko Olina, and major resorts.
• Private Car & Limousine Service — offered for VIP arrivals and personalized transportation.
