Situated around 6 miles from Charlotte’s central business district, Charlotte Douglas International Airport is the 11th-busiest airport in America, offering routes to destinations throughout the country as well as several outside of the US on a seasonal basis. Travelling by road to the airport normally takes about 15 minutes, although rush hour traffic can sometimes make that significantly longer so it’s always best to anticipate delays and plan your journey accordingly.
For those seeking cheap parking at Charlotte Airport, there are a number of options, ranging from short term to long term parking. While official airport facilities are often the most convenient choice, they tend to be the priciest for parking rates too. As an alternative, there’s also the choice of parking near Charlotte Airport and taking a shuttle into you terminal, which is usually included in the price. We’ve picked out three of our favourite such deals.
