ABQ terminal information
Albuquerque International Sunport has one main passenger terminal with two principal gate concourses, A and B, connected to a central security/check-in area. The terminal is undergoing the multi-year Dream of Flight modernization, so some concessions and passenger circulation can shift as work progresses.
Official parking at Albuquerque International Sunport
Official parking includes a four-level garage immediately beside the terminal, a premium economy lot and a basic economy lot. The garage has covered terminal access, while the surface lots trade a slightly longer walk for lower-cost parking. A free Cell Phone Waiting Area is available for passenger pickup.
Rental cars and ground transportation
All major rental-car agencies are consolidated at the Sunport Car Rental Center. Free shuttles operate between the terminal and rental center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. City buses, taxis, rideshare and hotel shuttles also serve designated ground-transport areas.
Passenger services and terminal facilities
The Sunport provides dining and retail, passenger information, accessibility services, indoor and outdoor service-animal relief areas and seating/charging amenities. The terminal's New Mexico identity is reflected in local art, architecture and food offerings, with a central post-security food hall among the newer facilities.
Accessibility and assisted travel at ABQ
Accessible parking is distributed through all official parking areas, including every level of the garage. Airport buses and the rental-car shuttle are accessible, and service-animal relief areas are available both airside and outside baggage claim.

Frequently asked questions about ABQ
What should I confirm before driving to Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ)?
ABQ is organized around a largely single-terminal passenger layout, so parking choice is usually more about walking or transfer time, parking type and total stay cost than selecting between terminals. Check current access or construction notices on the official airport site before you drive in.
What should I compare for a longer parking stay at ABQ?
For a longer stay at ABQ, compare the total trip price rather than the advertised daily rate alone. Also check walking or shuttle time, covered versus outdoor parking, reservation rules, vehicle-height limits, access hours and the provider’s cancellation terms.
Where should I verify pickup, rideshare and rental-car locations at ABQ?
Use the official airport map and ground-transport information linked on this page to confirm current rental-car, taxi, rideshare and passenger-pickup locations at ABQ. Curb assignments and construction routing can change, so current airport signage should take priority over older directions.

Check ABQ’s official accessibility guidance before travel and arrange airline wheelchair or gate assistance directly with the airline when needed. Confirm that your chosen parking facility and any transfer shuttle can accommodate your specific mobility requirements.
