Choose airport transportation around the traveler, luggage and flight time. Compare the full journey from home to the terminal and back, including the time needed to park or meet a ride.
Choose a parking arrangement
Richmond International Airport publishes its official parking options, including economy, daily, hourly and valet arrangements. Compare the current rates and access instructions on the airport site for your trip length. Keep off-airport private operators separate from airport-operated facilities.
Allow for the last part of the trip
Check whether your chosen option involves a shuttle or a walk, and allow time for luggage and mobility needs. Review airline check-in guidance and airport alerts before leaving. Do not turn an estimated drive time into a guaranteed arrival plan.
Coordinate pickup
The airport identifies a cell-phone waiting lot for drivers meeting arriving passengers. Follow current signs and curb instructions, and wait for the traveler to confirm that they are ready. A landed flight does not mean the passenger has collected luggage and reached the pickup area.
Plan the return
Save the parking location and ticket instructions, confirm the pickup point for your booked ride and have an alternative if the flight changes. Use the airport’s current ground-transportation resources for the operating options rather than relying on an old fare or schedule.
