Facility Overview
GSP Parking Garage A is a premier multi-level, covered parking structure located on-site at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in Greer, South Carolina. Positioned directly opposite the north side of the main passenger terminal, Garage A offers passengers and visitors weather-protected parking with immediate pedestrian access into the airport terminal.

Standard passenger cars, crossover vehicles, and mid-to-large SUVs can comfortably navigate the facility, which maintains a standard vertical vehicle clearance of 7 feet 0 inches (84 inches). High-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof carriers exceeding this limit should utilize the adjacent uncovered surface lots or economy parking areas.
