How to Park at Houston Hobby Airport

Houston Hobby Airport is Houston's second-biggest commercial aviation facility and is conveniently located south of Houston bordering Interstate 45. Parking at Houston Hobby Airport is located in a four-level garage connected to the terminal building and an adjacent uncovered parking lot called Parking Cents; more than 4,000 parking spaces are available. You have the option of paying for parking at either lot using traditional tickets or the new INSTA Park system.
