The Airport Authority has also reconfigured its very popular Economy E-Lot to accommodate 100 more vehicles. The opening of the addition to the parking garage and the new ground parking brings the Airport's total parking capacity to nearly 5,000 spaces. The Airport Authority had planned to construct a two-story addition to the garage. When confronted with the overwhelming popularity of the new garage, the Authority approved the construction of the five-story addition that expands the garage's capacity to 2,400 vehicles. The Airport's fleet of 300 rental cars was moved into the first level of the parking garage in October.
Travelers are now able to reach their rental cars without being exposed to inclement weather.
Parking rates at Albany International Airport are among the lowest in upstate New York. Short-term parkers at the Airport are provided with FREE parking for the first 30 minutes.
