Veterans who have a qualified, active, permanently affixed license plate are eligible for the benefit savings provided by the State of Texas. A disabled veteran license plate issued by other U.S. states also qualifies for savings; however, the face of the license plate must say “Disabled Veteran.” View a complete list of approved Texas license plates. In order to receive the complimentary parking, the veteran must be present at the time of exiting the parking facility. Watch this video explaining the benefit.

Qualifying veterans can choose
  • Up to 60 consecutive days in an ecopark lot OR
  • Up to 5 consecutive days in a parking garage

If the vehicle is parked past the complimentary period, the Veteran is responsible for paying the daily parking rate for each additional day. Refunds will not be issued after a vehicle leaves the parking facility.

Remember:

  • The complimentary service is per visit to the airport, subject to parking availability, and cannot be combined with an online parking reservation.
  • Qualifying veterans who enter a Houston Airport parking facility before September 15 will not be affected.
  • Houston Airports employees, please be informed that the veteran parking is not applicable for employees parking for work purposes. Additionally, all requirements must be met at the time of exit.

Please note that once you exit the parking lot, refunds will not be issued.
