ParkRDU Express is RDU’s mid-priced trunk-to-terminal parking option, located at 1710 East International Drive, near the FAA control tower north of the terminals. Express offers a short comfortable shuttle ride from your vehicle to the terminals with free bottled water. It’s great for travelers who need help with their luggage.

ParkRDU Express shuttles drop off and pick up curbside at Terminal 1 and on the upper (departures) level of Terminal 2.

By going cashless, your ParkRDU experience fits smoothly into your next travel day:

  • Contactless payment: fewer touchpoints for smart and safe travel
  • Reduced wait times: exiting through the pay stations is a breeze
