Premium Parking, Valet Parking, and Car Care

I want to reserve premium parking. What information do I need to provide? addremove
Premium parking works the same way as regular parking except you must provide a license plate number. We verify this during lot inspections of the premium parking spots.

Yes, 24/7 Sky Valet is available at Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. Terminal 3 valet is located on the first level near the departure drop-off. Terminal 4 valet is on Level 4 by the elevator bays.

If I’m using valet service, do I also have to pay the garage fee? addremove

No. Our charge covers the cost of the parking garage fee. We are only $9 more per 24 hours compared to the garage drive-up fee.

If we are given the information on who is picking up the car and when they are picking it up, we can ensure it is ready for them when they arrive.

Yes. Valet service is now offered in both terminals at Sky Harbor. We can have your car ready for you at any terminal.

Can I get my car washed while it’s there? addremove
