Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the lot, stay in the right-hand lane along NE Airport Way after passing NE 118th Avenue to execute a smooth turn into the entrance. NE Airport Way experiences predictable rush-hour volume during morning and afternoon commute hours (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM), so build in an extra 10 minutes if connecting to flight departures at PDX. Always ensure all personal belongings and valuables are removed from vehicle interiors or stowed securely in the trunk before walking away from your vehicle.
