Terminal layout at ELP
For arrival planning, start with the terminal layout. Ticketing/security are on the upper level and baggage claim, rental cars and ground transportation are on the lower level. El Paso International Airport has one passenger terminal with two airside gate concourses: Concourse A on the west side and Concourse B on the east.
Official parking at ELP
The airport-operated parking picture is straightforward to compare once you know the main facilities. ELP uses a ticketless system for its Short-Term, Long-Term, Premium Reserved and West Lot parking products. A free cell-phone lot is offered and curbside waiting is prohibited. As of August 2026 the West Lot is temporarily closed for parking-lot construction, so travelers should choose another official product until the airport announces reopening.
Rental cars and ground transport
For rental cars and onward travel, the airport currently uses the following arrangements. The Rental Car Center is directly across the terminal roadway area, with counters and pedestrian access clearly signed. Taxis, rideshare, Sun Metro/BRIO connections, hotel shuttles and private vehicles serve the airport.

Accessible parking and assisted travel
Accessible parking and assisted travel are easiest when arrangements are checked before the day of departure. Accessible parking and terminal routes are provided, and the airport offers specific parking benefits for qualifying disabled veterans and surviving spouses with eligible Texas plates.
