A new five-level garage recently 
opened at Greenville-Spartanburg 
International (GSP), adding 
roughly 1,500 more parking spaces to 
the South Carolina airport’s inventory. 
Garage C, located directly adjacent to the 
terminal, has two levels for public parking, 
two levels for rental car operations, and 
one level below ground that houses quick 
turnaround services for rental vehicles. 
The $97 million project was funded by 
the airport’s capital improvement fund 
and proceeds from bonds backed by a 
customer facility charge applied to rental 
car transactions and 
ground transportation 
vehicles.
“We needed to do 
this project for two 
main reasons,” states 
GSP President and 
Chief Executive Officer 
Kevin Howell. “First, due to the continued 
growth of our airport, we had a shortage 
of garage parking for both the general 
public and the rental car companies. 
Second, the airport and the rental 
car vendors wanted to provide better 
facilities and a higher service level for 
their customers, specifically the premium 
frequent rental clients.” 
GSP continues to offer passengers 
surface parking lots with shuttle service to 
and from the terminal building.
 The new consolidated rental center 
is a short two-minute walk on a covered 
sidewalk from the terminal. The facility 
includes a large customer service lobby, as 
well as reserved spaces for premium pick-
ups and drop-offs. Support services such 
as fueling, vehicle washing and maintenance 
are located separately, below ground.
