Terminal garage with an indoor walk to the gates.

Parking 1 at DCA

Parking 1 is one of the two close-in garages. You park, you walk inside, you do not wait for a bus. That is the whole product. It is also the garage that goes Limited first on a rainy Wednesday when two shuttles land at once.

Use it when you are late or when you are only leaving the car for a workday. If both terminal garages are Limited, Economy is the overflow — not a second “close” option.

About this lot

When should I use Parking 1 at DCA?

Short stays and anyone carrying a lot.

How do I get from Parking 1 to the terminal?

Indoor walk to the terminals. Shuttle also runs 24/7.

What if Parking 1 is Limited or Full?

Limited means you may still find a space if you circle, but another lot is the safer call. Full means that lot is not taking drive-up cars. Use the live board and pick the next DCA lot instead of waiting in the inbound loop.
