Terminal layout at TUS
For arrival planning, start with the terminal layout. Ticketing is on the upper/departures level and baggage claim on the lower level. Tucson International Airport has one main passenger terminal with two gate concourses: the South Concourse contains the A gates and the North Concourse contains the B gates.
Official parking at TUS
The airport-operated parking picture is straightforward to compare once you know the main facilities. Official parking covers Hourly, Daily and Garage choices close to the terminal plus Economy and Economy Covered facilities on East Corona Road. Courtesy shuttles run between the economy facilities and the terminal around the clock, with frequency varying by traffic and demand.
Rental cars and ground transport
For rental cars and onward travel, the airport currently uses the following arrangements. Most rental-car companies run from the Rental Car Center immediately east of the main terminal, linked by pedestrian bridges/moving walkways; any off-site rental supplier should be checked for its own shuttle instructions. Taxis, rideshare and other transportation use signed curbside areas.

Accessible parking and assisted travel
Accessible parking and assisted travel are easiest when arrangements are checked before the day of departure. TUS publishes a detailed accessibility program and terminal map showing adult changing stations, nursing pods, service-animal relief areas and other resources.
