What to know about ALB terminals
Before choosing a parking route, note how the terminal complex is organized. Albany International Airport uses one passenger terminal with multiple concourses connected to a central ticketing, security and baggage-claim building. The airport serves New York's Capital Region and is designed so parking garages, rental cars and ground transportation are closely integrated with the terminal.
Parking on the ALB airport estate
For official airport parking, the main points are these. A free Cell Phone Parking Lot on Albany Shaker Road gives drivers a place to wait before moving to the arrivals curb. ALB offers terminal-area garage parking, long-term surface parking and the remote Economy E-Lot, which has shuttle service to the terminal.
Ground transportation at ALB
Parking is only one part of the airport transfer; these onward transport details are useful. Rental-car reservation counters are in baggage claim, with rental vehicles housed inside the airport parking garage. Taxis, shuttles and other ground-transport services run from designated terminal zones, and the airport sits close to I-87 and I-90 for regional road access.
Services available around ALB
Terminal amenities vary by concourse or building, but these are the key facilities noted for this airport.

Recent airport improvement work has also expanded parking and modernized public spaces and technology.
Accessible routes and passenger assistance
Passengers who need step-free routes or additional help should plan the airport journey as carefully as the parking. Passengers who require wheelchair or boarding help should arrange assistance with their airline before travel. Accessible garage/surface parking and step-free routes connect the terminal complex.
