For official airport parking, the main points are these. The economy lot is served by a free airport shuttle. Valet parking is also offered when operating, giving travelers a terminal-front option. Close-in public parking is supplemented by an economy lot at Airport Road and Rosedale Road.

Parking is only one part of the airport transfer; these onward transport details are useful. On-airport rental-car companies, taxis, limousines, app-based rides and CARTA public bus services offer ground transport from CHA.
