San Luis Obispo, CA – The SLO County Airport (SBP) is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of its new Premium Parking Lot, providing travelers with a convenient parking option located next to the terminal. The Premium Lot is scheduled to open on February 9, 2026.

Located in the former Rental Car Ready Return area, the Premium Parking Lot offers approximately 60 parking spaces next to the terminal, designed to provide quicker access for travelers.

The Premium Lot is offered at a starting rate of $35 per day, reflecting the convenience and ease-of-access the location provides. Travelers may continue to park in SBP’s four existing parking lots at the current daily rate of $25, which remains unchanged.

“Travel looks different for everyone,” said Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg. “The Premium Parking Lot offers added convenience for people who value close access to the terminal, alongside the airport’s existing parking options.”

Courtney Johnson, Director of Airports, emphasized how the new lot supports the airport’s growing demand. “With continued growth in passenger activity, we’re being thoughtful about how we expand access and convenience at the airport,” said Johnson. “The Premium Parking Lot provides an additional option for travelers who value proximity to the terminal, while allowing us to continue offering a range of parking choices for the broader community.”

The opening of the Premium Parking Lot reflects SLO County Airport’s ongoing commitment to improving the travel experience through thoughtful, forward-looking investments.
