Short-term and hourly parking at ATL: North, South and International decks

North and South Hourly cap at $50 the first day, International Hourly at $70. ATL prints no hourly rate. Where each deck is and what to check.

Inside the International Hourly deck

Park in an hourly deck if you’re walking a traveler to the door. ATL’s parking page lists one Hourly rate for the Domestic Terminal, a $50 maximum for the first day and $75 a day for each additional day, and North Hourly and South Hourly both carry it. International Hourly is a $70 maximum for the first day and $100 a day for each additional day. Those are the only numbers ATL prints, so you can’t price a ten-minute stop from its page. The parking page lists every lot and the rates ATL publishes.

Match the deck to the terminal you’re walking into

Deck Terminal Where EV charging on ATL’s list In ATL’s pre-booking list
North Hourly Domestic A multi-storey deck on the north side of the terminal, for short stays Level 3 Not listed
South Hourly Domestic The short-stay deck on the south side of the terminal Not named Not listed
International Hourly International ATL: directly in front of the terminal, steps from check-in and arrivals Level 2 Listed

The two Domestic decks sit on the north and south sides of the terminal, and check-in is split into North and South as well, so our Terminal N, S and I guide explains the three. The International Terminal is a separate building with its own entrance, so a deck on the wrong side means a shuttle ride. Our International Terminal shuttle page has the stop.

What ATL doesn’t print

ATL’s parking page gives no free minutes for any of the three decks. It also doesn’t say how it counts a partial day. Its contact page lists Guest Relations and parking in one row, with (404) 530-7300, (800) 897-1910 and (404) 530-6725, so call there to ask what the first hour costs.

ATL’s parking page also lists a status for each lot, including North Hourly, South Hourly and International Hourly, with a last-update time.

Longer than a drop-off

If the visit turns into a day or more, ATL caps a first day in an hourly deck at the maximum above, while it prices Daily at $30 a day. Our parking guide has the totals for one, three and seven days.

For a pickup, start with the free lot. ATL’s Park and Wait Lot is free and meant for a brief wait, and our Cell Phone Lot guide has the directions. If you want to be at the door instead, ATL’s FAQ puts the ground transportation area, the passenger pickup area and the hourly parking facility outside the International Terminal’s Arrivals hall.

Can’t find the car?

ATL says its Courtesy Assistance Services will locate your vehicle, free, if you’re an airport parking customer. The same service gives free jump-starts and air inflation, with signs at designated Emergency Information Call Boxes. The call boxes are also at the stairwells nearest the terminals.
