Facility Overview
Parking Structure P5 is a critical multi-level, covered parking facility located directly within the Central Terminal Area of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Serving as a primary hub for travelers, this facility offers high-density parking designed for convenience. While standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks navigate the structure with ease, motorists should be aware of standard LAX structural height restrictions common to the Central Terminal Area, typically around 8 feet. For oversized vehicles, high-roof vans, or those with roof racks, it is recommended to verify current height clearance signage upon entry.
