What to know about BHM terminals
Before choosing a parking route, note how the terminal complex is organized. Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International has one passenger terminal with Concourses A, B and C connected to a central ticketing, security and baggage-claim building. The terminal and parking deck are directly opposite each other, keeping rental cars and close-in parking within a short walk.
Parking on the BHM airport estate
For official airport parking, the main points are these. The airport also offers complimentary vehicle-assistance services such as battery jump-starts, and EV charging stations are installed in the parking deck. BHM offers terminal parking in the multi-level parking deck, economy parking with continuous shuttle service and valet parking.
Ground transportation at BHM
Parking is only one part of the airport transfer; these onward transport details are useful. Rental-car companies run from section 1B on the ground level of the parking deck, allowing customers to walk from the terminal without a remote rental-car shuttle. Taxis, rideshare, shuttles and other ground transportation use designated terminal curb areas.
Services available around BHM
Terminal amenities vary by concourse or building, but these are the key facilities noted for this airport. The terminal offers free Wi-Fi, dining and retail, charging/power access, customer-service assistance and accessibility services. Free Wi-Fi also extends to the Cell Phone Waiting Lot area for people waiting to collect arriving passengers.
Accessible routes and passenger assistance
Passengers who need step-free routes or additional help should plan the airport journey as carefully as the parking. Airline wheelchair service can reach the gates and aircraft doors and should be arranged with the carrier before travel. BHM is fully accessible with elevators, accessible parking and terminal routes.
