Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) provides safe, well-lit parking conveniently located just across from the terminal. Our parking facility and lots are open 24/7, 365 days out of the year.

With limited space and high demand, our parking lots often fill quickly, especially during peak travel times. However, we offer solutions, including overflow parking when main lots reach capacity—just follow posted signage to locate these areas.

Please note:

  • Daily rates apply after six hours.
  • Available spot counts below are accurate and reflect public availability.
  • Height restrictions vary; please review details in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
Thanks for Choosing to Park at RNO

How Airport Parking Works

Parking fills quickly, especially during busy travel times. Use the real-time parking tool to check availability, and if lots are full, you may be directed to overflow parking.

To make your trip as easy as possible, we recommend reserving early, arriving early or taking a rideshare, taxi or other transportation option to RNO. When in doubt, plan ahead for overflow parking.

Reserve parking when booking flights

Reserve parking when you book your flight to avoid overflow parking. While we test the new reservation system, about 300 spaces in the Long-Term Garage can be reserved in advance out of roughly 1,600 total spaces.

During busy travel times, both reserved spaces and general Long-Term Garage spots can fill up quickly. Using our parking reservation tool and booking early is the best way to guarantee convenient parking and avoid being directed to overflow lots.

Understanding “Full” or “RES*”

Use the real-time parking tool to see how many spaces are available in each parking option. Parking can fill up very quickly, with hundreds of spaces taken in as little as 20 minutes. (One 757 flight carries about 200 passengers.)

  • If the Short-Term Garage or Long-Term Surface shows “Full,” you will be directed to overflow parking.
  • When the Long-Term Garage reaches capacity, it switches to reservation only “RES*”. Only passengers with pre-booked parking reservations can enter the lot.

Arrive early, even for reservations

Parking is in high demand and overflow parking is used often. Even if lots appear open, it can take time to find a space. If all options are full, allow extra time to reach off-site overflow parking. If you have not reserved a spot in advance, we recommend planning ahead for overflow parking to make your trip as smooth as possible.

Catch a Ride to RNO

Parking is in high demand, and passengers are often directed to overflow lots. If you want to avoid overflow and have not reserved a space in the Long-Term Garage, we recommend taking a rideshare, taxi, or other transportation option to the airport.

Color-coded numbers show parking availability, similar to a stoplight: green means plenty of spots, yellow means spaces are limited, and red means few or no spots are available.

Parking Reservations

Now Booking

 

We’re testing a new parking reservation system to help travelers guarantee a space in the Long-Term Garage on busy travel days. A reservation gives you peace of mind knowing you’ll still be able to park even if the garage closes to non-reserved drivers. Use our feedback form to share your experience as we test this new system.

We want to hear your feedback on your experience using the JustPark platform.

What if I arrive early or late for my reservation?

Your QR code will be valid up to two hours before your scheduled time. You can enter anytime during your pre-paid reserved period. Restrictions apply for reimbursement of unused reserved time.

Can I change, extend, or cancel my reservation?

Yes! You can modify your reservation online or in the app. To avoid a cancellation fee, cancel at least 24 hours before your start time.

For travelers leaving earlier than their reservation: Partial refunds for unused time are not available. Once payment is made, it secures your parking space for the full duration selected. If you’re unsure about how long you’ll need to park, consider using the “extend parking” option and adjust your time as needed so you only pay for the time you’re parked.

For travelers leaving later than their reservation: You can either extend your reservation using the confirmation link or mobile app, or pay the difference when exiting. And, a reminder: Our cancellation policy allows changes or cancellations up to 24 hours before the reservation begins. Vehicles will not be towed for overstays.

Do I have a designated parking spot?

No, reservations secure a space in the Long-Term Garage (second floor or roof), but specific spots are not assigned. Park in the first available space.

Reminder, arrive early even if you have a parking reservation. Due to high parking demand, we recommend passengers arrive two hours before their scheduled departure time.

Is there an additional fee for parking reservations?

Standard Long-Term Garage rates apply. JustPark, our reservation provider, adds a 5% service fee and a $0.20 transaction fee at checkout. These fees support payment processing, customer service, and technical support through JustPark.

Do I need to print my reservation?

No, please scan the QR code from your phone at the entrance and exit. We recommend taking a screenshot in case of connectivity issues.

Do not take a photo of the QR code on your computer screen, it will not work.

We’ve got you covered with overflow parking options.
