Where to park at IWA

Mesa Gateway parking is simple and affordable, but the lots fill up quickly in peak travel periods. Allow an extra 20 minutes to find a space. Rates are charged every half hour, so pay after you collect your luggage. The airport lists the same $1 per half hour for all three lots, with daily caps that vary by source.

  • Hourly Parking Lot

    Just west of the terminal. Enter from Texas Avenue and keep right. The lot is recommended for short-term parking only. The daily cap is listed as $15 on the parking page, but the airport's 2026 rate schedule lists a higher figure, so check the rate at the pay station.

  • Daily Lot

    Just south of the terminal, for overnight parking. The FAQ and 2026 rate schedule list a daily cap of $15. The parking page lists $10, so confirm when you pay.

  • Economy Lot

    At 7255 East Ray Road, just east of Sossaman Road. The daily cap is $10, and covered parking inside the lot costs $11 per day. Free shuttles run to the terminal, usually every 15 minutes, and begin two hours before departures.

  • Cell Phone Lot

    A free waiting area at 5250 South Sossaman Road for picking up arriving passengers.

  • Pay at the terminal paystation, the Economy Lot paystation, by scanning the QR code on your ticket with your phone, or at the lot exit.
  • Covered parking in the Economy Lot uses a ticket at the entrance, then a scan at the covered-parking gate.
  • Allow 15 to 20 minutes for the Economy Lot shuttle ride to the terminal, and check the exact parking rate before you pay at the lot.
