Airport Travel
Approximately 11 miles from the city centers of both Durham and Raleigh, Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) is conveniently located off of Exits 284 and 285 of I-40. Parking is available at the airport along with several Park & Ride lots to help avoid parking congestion close to the terminals. For parking rates and other airport parking, visit the ParkRDU website.
Money Saving Tip: If you pre-purchase parking, choose Economy. The website may then prompt you to upgrade to Central for cheaper than it would have been to book Central directly!
