About this Location

Facility Overview

Cape Cod Gateway Airport Parking (formerly known as Barnstable Municipal Airport Parking) serves as the primary on-site vehicular facility for travelers, commuters, and island-bound visitors utilizing Cape Cod Gateway Airport (HYA). Located at 540 Barnstable Road in Hyannis, Massachusetts, this spacious, modern open-air surface parking facility accommodates short-term visitors, overnight travelers, and extended vacationers. Because the lot is entirely open-air and ground-level, there are no restrictive multi-story vertical height clearances to navigate, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, SUVs, roof-rack-equipped beach vehicles, and passenger vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During the busy summer tourist season and holiday weekends, demand for spaces increases considerably; travelers taking early-morning flights should plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled departure to park smoothly and complete check-in. Keep your parking ticket in a safe place inside your vehicle out of direct sunlight, or note your entry timestamp to ensure a seamless transaction at the automated payment stations upon your return.
