HAGERSTOWN, MD — Regional travelers using the airport in Hagerstown will find it a bit more expensive. The Hagerstown Regional Airport (HGR) announced this week a new parking fee will be implemented in early 2025.
An announcement from HGR says the fee is “aimed at supporting the airport’s continued growth and enhanced services.”
Construction on the expanded parking facilities is set to begin in November 2024, with parking fee collection expected to begin in January/February 2025.
The parking fee will be $5 per day, with the first hour free, providing an affordable and convenient option for both short and long-term parking. The parking fee applies across all terminal lots, and payments can be made using credit or debit cards, as well as mobile payment options like Apple Pay and Google Wallet for added convenience.
“As HGR continues to experience substantial growth—highlighted by a 38% year-over-year increase in Allegiant flights—the parking fees will directly support the airport’s expanded parking facilities and improved services,” according to the announcement. “With the recent doubling of the parking area, the fee will ensure that the airport can continue meeting the needs of passengers while maintaining security and operations.”
The revenue from the parking fee will help fund services, including:
- Law enforcement and emergency personnel support for each flight
- Staffing and maintenance of the terminal
- Future commercial air service improvements and development
The airport’s announcement says even with the new fee parking costs are “significantly lower” than other regional airports, where motorists may pay as much as $32 per day. “Even from the farthest parking spot, passengers will enjoy a short walk to the terminal.”
The parking lot will be open to the general public, including commuters.
“This parking fee not only helps sustain current operations but also positions HGR for future growth. By investing in HGR, passengers and visitors are contributing to the expansion of air service offerings, ensuring that more flight options and destinations may become available in the future.”
