Frequently asked questions about RDU
What should I confirm before driving to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)?
RDU uses multiple terminal, concourse or passenger-processing areas. Confirm your airline’s current terminal before choosing terminal-side parking, and allow extra time if your route requires an inter-terminal connection or transfer.
What should I compare for a longer parking stay at RDU?
For a longer stay at RDU, 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 RDU?
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 RDU. Curb assignments and construction routing can change, so current airport signage should take priority over older directions.
How should I arrange accessible parking or assistance at RDU?
Check RDU’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.
