About this Location

Facility Overview

EVV - Long Term Parking is the primary extended-stay surface lot serving the Evansville Regional Airport (EVV). Situated on Bussing Drive immediately adjacent to the main passenger terminal, this open-air parking facility encompasses over 1,000 surface stalls designed to accommodate travelers departing on multi-day itineraries. The lot features an organized grid layout with wide driving lanes that effortlessly accommodate standard sedans, compact crossovers, full-size SUVs, and large pickup trucks. Because it is predominantly an open surface lot with modern solar canopy installations covering designated rows, drivers of high-profile vehicles, roof-rack-equipped passenger vans, and light commercial vehicles enjoy generous clearance compared to traditional multi-level parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the lot, pull a ticket from the automated machine and keep it stored securely inside your vehicle away from direct sunlight, or use your credit card at both entry and exit terminals for a frictionless paperless experience. Note your row letter or take a quick photo of the nearest row marker to streamline vehicle location upon your return, especially when landing on late-night arrivals. If traveling during peak holiday departure periods (such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Spring Break), plan to arrive an extra 15 minutes earlier to secure spots closest to the covered walkways.
